To equate these celebrity seekers with the plumbers of Watergate is a bit of a stretch, ya think? All we know right now is that they were alledgedly told they were the winners of a night out to a State Dinner.
True or not, these people were obviously looking for some sort of publicity to garner an avenue to some easy bucks and someone set them up to fail not ever thinking the security protocols at the White House would ever let them in.
The end result is that the crowd in charge of the White House showed their distain for such protocols as they do for the truth in any other circunstance just so they can continue the Wednesday night public fleecing parties paid for by us.
I hope the Special Agent in Charge has the balls to tell who exactly it was that authorized their entry. He/She certainly did not have the authority, or any agent under his/her command, to make such a stupid decision as they were directed to do so.
I say leave the two crashers be with their 15 minutes of fame because it was their sheer stupidity that caused them to think they could ever be considered for such an invittation. Reports from their last known permanent residence is that their two luxury cars have been reposessed and the home has been forclosed on. They have apparently been residing in DC motels since.
House oversight committees need to have public hearings for the testamony of all agents (identities protected from the public) who were on duty that night to find out who all in the administration approved such a breach of the protocol and that person and their superiors brought up on charges and prosecuted. Now that would be a suitable replacement for the terrorist show trials if the administration was really serious of showing the world how our legal-justice system works.
Your's was the best response so far I thought, but knowing this Administration's immoral record of blaming others and throwing them under the bus to save their own skins--and also failing to own up to the full story when diplomatic faux pas are made--such as in the Tokyo bow which is still left unexplained--I think it is also highly important we ascertain that if the Secret Service is faultless, then who is setting them up for blame, and had called down to vouch for that couple to let them in onto the White House grounds?
We don't have all the facts, granted. But I doth smell a rat. And when it comes to the Obama Administration and the way they have been shown to treat people as well as the incumbent power itself of the White House, with bad manners, immature disdain and disrepect, that is where I smell the rat the most. Somebody is hiding something very embarrassing I sense. That is why I made a big deal out of it by researching and posting this thread.
