the last book I ever read (Carol Leonnig's Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, excerpt ten)

from Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service by Carol Leonnig:

A Starr investigator asked Cockell whether, in hindsight, the Secret Service should have done something to limit Clinton’s ability to spend so many hours with a young woman in private nooks, entirely unseen by his protectors. Cockell pointed to the fact that the White House was an office, and Lewinsky had been cleared to enter. “Sir, my focus is the safety and security of the president,” Cockell said. “And if it does not threaten his safety and security … then my responsibility ends.”
