Was Hillary Clinton abusive to her staff and security people?

Snopes calls it "undetermined" They list "WHAT WAS, WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, AND WHAT IS"
. . . " Former Pres. Bush Sr. and the current president Bush make it a point to thank and take care of the aircrews who fly them around [When the president flies, there are several planes that also go — one carries the armored limo, another the security detail, plus usually a

press aircraft] and both Bush's made it a point to stay home on holidays, so these Air Force and security people could have a day with their families. 

  
WHAT WAS:
Hillary Clinton was arrogant and vocally abusive to her security detail. She forbade her daughter, Chelsea, from exchanging pleasantries with them. Sometimes Chelsea, miffed at her mother's obvious conceit and mean spiritedness ignored her demands and exchanged pleasantries regardless, but never in her mother's presence. Chelsea really was a nice, kindhearted, and lovely young lady. The consensus opinion was that Chelsea loved her Mom but did not like her.

Hillary Clinton was continuously rude and abrasive to those who were charged to protect her life. Her security detail dutifully did their job, as professionals should, but they all "loathed" her and wanted to be on a different detail. She was hard to work for because she was so nasty and mean toward her detail. Hillary Clinton was uniformly despised by the Secret Service as a whole. 
. . .  "Neither [Hillary nor Gore] trusted Bill Clinton and, the Secret Service opined, neither of them even liked Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton did have some good qualities where Al Gore and Hillary had none in the view of their security details.
" Origins:   Proving (or disproving) the genuineness of an anonymous second-hand report of information supposedly provided by an equally anonymous Secret Service agent is a formidable task, but several factors tend to indicate this piece is more likely something created for partisan political reasons than an actual Secret Service agent's account:
 . . .
"As Time magazine noted as far back as 1993, cranking out spurious stories that discredited Hillary Clinton and were attributed to Secret Service agents was a known political trick:" . . .


" ‘Stay the f**k away from me! Just f*****g do as I say!!!’ she is quoted as saying to an agent who refused to carry her luggage in the book Unlimited Access by FBI agent Gary Aldridge. " Compared to Hillary’s salty language, Bill Clinton was a gentleman, according to now-retired Secret Service agent, Dan Emmett, who began covering President Clinton on his first day in office in 1993 and writes about guarding the President in a new version of his book" . . .

Secret Service agent: Clinton’s staff rude, Hillary aloof
"In several anecdotes, former agent Dan Emmett revealed that Clinton’s young staff had “fundamental traits of rudeness and arrogance” that teetered on the verge of being dangerous at times. “Most of these youngsters were from wealthy families, and many viewed Secret Services agents as the hired help,” he writes in “Within Arms’s(sp) Length,” an autobiography that provides new details of the inner Secret Service.
. . . 
 "Still, the service is not happy with the anecdotes in the book. “We do stress to all our employees the importance of not sharing anecdotes about the personal, private moments of the protectees,” said Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan. “It causes concern because we don’t want to erode the trust that we have with our protectees.' ”

Angry Hillary threw book at Secret Service agent  . . . "Another retired Secret Service veteran, a plainclothes agent assigned to Clinton’s security detail,corroborated the book-throwing account. “Yeah, it’s true,” he said, without elaborating." . . .
. . . "A Washington Metro Police detective also recalled hearing of the incident at the time, adding that the former first lady “was pretty sh–ty to the Secret Service guys.”

All the above is consistent with her order to fire the White House Travel Office people with the command "fire their asses" of which The Sun Sentinel says she was not proven guilty
. . . " Hillary is a serial perjurer who says she did not give orders to fire the White House Travel Office in 1993, even though David Watkins later said Hillary said to “fire their asses” and he wrote a memo saying there would be “hell to pay” if they Travel Office was not fired immediately." . . .

 "With respect to Mrs. Clinton, there was substantial evidence that she had a `role' in the decision to fire the travel office employees," Ray said in his statement. "Nevertheless, the evidence was insufficient to prove to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt that any of Mrs. Clinton's statements and testimony regarding her involvement in the Travel Office firings were knowingly false."
