[9/8/16] A former Secret Service agent has confirmed the identity of Hillary Clinton’s mysterious ‘medical handler’ as US Secret Service Agent Todd Madison.
The retired Secret Service agent, who spent 20 years protecting America’s top leaders including the Clintons, confirmed by telephone Wednesday that the stocky African American man highlighted by various media outlets, was a man he worked with previously on assignment.
The former Secret Service agent, who requested to remain anonymous due to continuing government service, said that the Secret Service doesn’t have handlers, but agents are trained in emergency trauma care, and will at times bring in contractors to fill specific medical needs.
“Some agents are more true believers than others”, the former Secret Service agent said, meaning that some agents get more involved than others in the political campaigns they are attached to. “This explains the uncommon behavior of him getting up and talking during the speech, he’s a boss, its how Todd handles his detail,” he added.
Secret Service spokeswoman Nicole Mainor told TRUNEWS by phone Wednesday that she was not authorized to confirm that USSS agent Todd Madison is the Detail Leader for Hillary Clinton for security reasons. But, Mainor did however confirm by email that the stocky African American man pictured next to the candidate in the pictures published by Jim Hoft at The Gateway Pundit is Clinton’s USSS Detail Leader.
“The Secret Service can confirm that the gentleman pictured is the Detail Leader for Presidential Candidate Clinton,” Mainor wrote in response to TRUNEWS.
Mainor previously told NY Times columnist Jim Rutenberg that the item being carried in the left hand of the man we now know to be Clinton’s Detail Leader was actually a small flashlight, and not “diazepam syringe”.
TRUNEWS correspondent Edward Szall asked the former Secret Service agent to comment on the picture described above, which the source confirmed was likely a SureFire black light (example here), noting that many agents carry handheld tactical lights as part of their standard equipment.
“It can get very dark behind stage at a political rally,” the source said. “The pressure switch is on back of those lights hence the way Todd is holding it, its also in his left hand, a non-gun hand,” he added.
The source also noted that the red lapel pin on the left side of Todd Madison’s blazer is not a “medical pin”, but rather recognition device used by Secret Service to identify security officials inside a details zone.
Addressing the question as to why USSS Detail Leader Todd Madison “disappeared” for a few weeks before reappearing on Clinton’s campaign airplane Monday, the source stated that it is standard protocol for US Secret Service agents to rotate in 21 day shift cycles. “He was likely on another assignment or taking R&R,” the source said.
What is still a mystery however is the bizarre ‘seizure-like’ head contortions Hillary Clinton was recorded performing in-front of reporters at a muffin shop in Washington D.C. on June 10th.
AP reporter Lisa Lerer, who is pictured holding out her audio recorder in front of Mrs. Clinton at the time of the incident, wrote that the Democratic nominee shook her head “vigorously for a few seconds”, but that “exaggerated motion” was voluntary and simply Clinton being “eager to avoid answering” the volume of questions being thrown at her.
STROKES NOT CONSPIRACY
According to Charles C. Johnson, Investigative Journalist and Founder of GotNews.com and WeSearchR.com, Hillary Clinton has a family history of strokes, which have the potential of causing long term neurological issues, such a difficulty swallowing.
Over the Labor Day weekend, Hillary Clinton experienced numerous coughing fits, and was spotted by journalists drinking what appeared to be thickened water. According to her doctor, Lisa Bardack, MD, Clinton currently suffers from hypothyroidism and seasonal pollen allergies.
Hypothyroidism is an under-active thyroid with symptoms which can include a slowed metabolism, fatigue, weight gain, and other issues, according to Thyroid-Info.com founder Mary Shomon.
In a medical letter written by Doctor Bardack on July 28, 2015 to demonstrate Mrs. Clinton’s current state of health, it was mentioned that her current medications include Armour Thyroid.
“Armour Thyroid is a brand name for natural desiccated thyroid (NDT), a prescription thyroid hormone replacement medication made from the dried thyroid gland of pigs,” Shomon wrote.
According to the 2014 Hypothyroidism Guidelines, published by the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and the American Thyroid Association (ATA), Armour Thyroid/NDT medication is not considered the “standard of care…CONTINUE READING
