Evy is a terrific story-teller and has some great stories to tell!

Secret Service agents sound real fun at parties.
I wonder if she saw big mikes tube sock?
Why former. Hasn’t it a life long thing.
She was also on the Tv Show Hunted
Bullsht! Bc it’s a movie she said that. But a iron man suit is and will always be greater than a stupid human as a bodyguard
What was Trumps codename? Lardboy?
A very lethal individual.
The biggest concern about the current president would be his age o guess
Read her book. It's worth it.
I can’t decipher what her accent is
Wow wow wow she is an attractive person
"if there were to be a bunker"
A bit of plausible deniability there? ahaha
Question. Can a president Refuse all Secret Service protections?
London has fallen forgot the CAT team at the shelter
"The potential threat is somone who wants to do harm" No rlly?
I wonder if shes the female SS that got plowed thru by that dude tht wabted in the WH

wow who cares what you said 20 years ago?
i got some secrets she can service any time
Evy please come protect me 😍
As far as White House Down goes, obviously the context is missing. But James Woods's character was not a double agent per se; rather he was a dedicated agent who had risen through the ranks legitimately to his senior position but then felt that the President betrayed him after his son was killed, and turned on him. He's not acting for a third party, and his change of heart only happened after he'd been in the Service for decades (indeed, if I remember rightly this was his last day before retirement). Presumably there'd be psych-evals and the normally when something happens in their personal life which should pick that up, but I'm also guessing they're not infallible, and the more extensive tests done at a recruitment level wouldn't be applicable in this case.
Were you at Epstein Island with the POTUS?
She looks like shes in her 40s so how could she have protected George H. W. Bush? According to Google you have to be at least 21 to apply to be a secret service agent
the only thing I know about 'In The Line of Fire' is the quote 'Do you believe in the nobility of suicide?' (mainly because Assemblage 23 used a sample of the quote for one of their songs)
Everything is wrong: 5
Everything is wrong: 7
Everything is wrong: 3
What? 🤔
All due respect, this chick is on top.
She's very pretty but her voice is annoying.
"There's always a barrier separating the president from the people". Nuff said.
In the Line of Fire is one of my favorite movies from that decade, still love watching it b/c of the cat/mouse relationship btwn Horrigan and Boothe. One thing I noticed after watching it a few times was that when the Prez is taken out of the banquet hall they rush him thru a kitchen which where Bobby Kennedy was killed.
So everyone in George W Bush's administration's codenames started with T?
Was Bush then codenamed Tosser?
VP must have been Tit, SECDEF must have been Twat…
I'm sure she is very well trained and great at her job but if I have to put my life in the hands of someone it's not gonna be a 100 pound woman
I'm pretty sure that Clinton probably hit on her.
If you like Evy Poumporas and want to hear more, she did a couple of podcasts with Andy Stumpf on his Cleared Hot podcast. In one, she discusses her experience on September 11, including thinking she had been buried by all the falling ruble. She's really a great speaker, and they're both interesting listens or watches. Cheers.
Wonder why she left before pension?
I’ll have to disagree with you there. I was in a crowd with Bill Clinton. Not behind any wall, but we were lined up next to a red carpet with Obama.
Maybe you mean if it’s in regular, street public?
I wish they had showered her the spy kids one 😂
Okay. I love this. I think I also want a "Where are my snipers?" T-shirt.
Would you take a protectee to your home to get them off the street if secure options like their home or military bases were not viable options
I remember Dick Cheney visiting my college once. There must have been snipers on every building on campus.
I'm not saying anything about her skills as an agent, but she doesn't look old enough to have protected some of those presidents.
I like her, the personality, the mindset and the way she talks. Pretty cool
