to her detail told FBI Clinton and her aides may have stolen State Department furniture

Hillary Clinton was so despised by the protective agents assigned to her security detail, they laughed when she fell and broke her right elbow in 2009, a one-time bodyguard to the former secretary of state says.

Clinton was walking to her car in the State Department basement ahead of a White House meeting when the incident occurred.

'It was kind of like payback. You’re treating us like s*** — hey, karma is a b****! We were smiling to ourselves,' an agent who witnessed the fall told The New York Post.

The glee didn't last long, though, the source said.

Karma: Hillary Clinton wearing a sling after she broke her arm in 2009. So hated by her security detail was she that they laughed at her condition

Publicity stunt: Clinton got a sling with the seal of the Department of State on it and paraded it at a press conference in Washington in July 2009

'She blamed us for breaking her elbow, saying it was our fault and we could have prevented that. She’s bad news.'

But the agent said 'nobody on her detail got in trouble'. The agent appears likely to be from the Bureau of Diplomatic Security, which provides secretaries of state with protection.

One of its agents was revealed on Tuesday to have accused Clinton of stealing furniture from the State Department and using it in her home.

The claim came from an ex-agent who served as part of her security detail while in office and was revealed in a 100-page dossier published under freedom of information laws by the FBI in the wake of their investigation into Clinton's secret email server.

The ex-agent told the FBI that they were aware of Clinton or her aides 'removing lamps and furniture from the State Department which were transported to her residence in Washington, D.C.'

It is a crime to lie to the FBI.

The female agent did not know whether the items were returned, the FBI noted.

The claim is particularly resonant for the Clintons, who left the White House with massive amounts of furniture and other items which they then either returned - including sofas, a chair, and an ottoman - or paid for.

In total they declared $190,000 in gifts as they left the White House, but ended up paying $86,000 in cash and handing back $48,000 worth of items - after public outrage at what they had done.

The State Department denied the ex-agent's allegation, saying it was 'not true' and that the items removed from the building had been paid for by the then Secretary of State.

State Department deputy spokesperson Mark Toner said: 'Secretary Clinton did not remove State Department furniture or other U.S. government property from the premises.'

The agent also told how Clinton insisted on using Secret Service protection detail while at home in New York - to the disgust of the DS agents - and that her approach to protocol had been to insult ambassadors by refusing to ride with them and insisting that she had Huma Abedin in a limousine with her.

'Abedin possessed "much more power" over Clinton's staff and schedule than other former chiefs of staff,' the FBI file said.

'[The agent] believed Abedin herself was often responsible for overriding security and diplomatic protocols on behalf of Clinton.'

The agent accused Clinton of 'using her position as Secretary of State to campaign for President of the United States'.

She said Clinton placed 'her staff, the media and her security detail in unnecessary danger in order to conduct a photo opportunity for 'her election campaign'.

The agent claimed: 'Clinton's treatment of DS agents on her protective detail was so contemptuous that many of them sought reassignment or employment elsewhere.

'Prior to Clinton's tenure, being an agent on the Secretary of State's protective detail was seen as an honor and privilege reserved for senior agents.

We were given specific instructions: Don’t look at her, don’t look at her general direction Clinton protective agent

'However, by the end of Clinton's tenure, it was staffed largely with new agents because it was difficult to find senior agents willing to work for her.

'[The agent] claimed to have had at least one conversation with Secret Service agents who experienced the same poor treatment.'

Clinton has a notoriously bad reputation when it comes to treatment of her Secret Service agents.

Ron Kessler's 2014 tell-all, First Family detail, likewise quotes former agent Lloyd Bulman as saying Clinton was 'very rude to agents' and 'almost everybody' else.

'She’d act like she didn’t want you around, like you were beneath her.'

Former agent Jeff Crane told Kessler, 'Hillary would cuss at Secret Service drivers for going over bumps.'

In the same book former FBI agent Coy Copeland said Clinton had a 'standing rule that no one spoke to her when she was going from one location to another' when she lived at the White House.

Insulting: The agent revealed how Clinton insisted on breaking protocol that she ride with the US ambassador on foreign visits and instead went with Huma Abedin, her aide

The ex-agent who spoke to the New York Post had a similar story.

'When I first met her, we were given specific instructions: Don’t look at her, don’t look at her general direction and if you need to talk to her, keep it short and stay out of her way.'

The bodyguard said Clinton was disrespectful to President Barack Obama, too, making him wait on her at a United Nations conference while she buttered up foreign dignitaries like she was at a campaign rally.

'She took her nice sweet time shaking hands and schmoozing with the dignitaries. She made the president wait to go into the meeting. She was making a fashionably late entrance.'

The agent said Clinton acted like she was running for the White House the entire time she was a cabinet secretary.

Of the time she was observed holding up Obama, in 2009 or 2010, the Post's source said, 'She was basically saying, "I don’t wait for the president, the president waits for me."

'Obama stopped, turned around and rolled his eyes a little bit, he looked at her in a way that inferred, "Let’s go." '
