2 Secret Service agents crashed into White House barricades after attending party, report says

Two senior Secret Service agents -- one of whom is a top member of President Obama's protective detail -- reportedly drove a government car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late-night party last week.

The Washington Post, citing a current and a former government official familiar with the incident, reported Wednesday afternoon that the officers on duty who witnessed the March 4 incident wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests. But the officers were ordered by a supervisor on duty that night to let the agents go home, said the sources, who spoke to the paper on the condition of anonymity.

Witnesses reported that the car’s overhead flashing lights had been activated and both agents were showing their badges to get through a section of the grounds that had been closed off due to an investigation of a suspicious package, according to the people familiar with the incident, the Post reported. The vehicle ran through security tape before hitting the barricades, which an agency official said had been set up temporarily during the investigation into the package.

The current Presidential Secret Service is sure not the straight laced, uniquely disciplined, anal professionals, that I always thought that they were, and that I thought that they needed to be.

That was my first question too. Double standard. Were they white by any chance? The woman was black, and had a child in a car seat. Maybe they had prostitutes in the backseat.

Americas MORALE has been destroyed for decades by movies and other propaganda....
PROPAGANDA... MOVIES?... lol... oh you caught that...

The Fifth Element (1997)
Deep Impact (1998)
Head of State (2003)
Idiocracy (2006)
2012 (2009)

Only a matter of time before choas is encouraged OR FAKED.. with false flag events..

SO THAT.. martial law can be enacted.... or something more subtle.. same result..

I thought this crap was supposed to be over with once they got rid of the female director. Can’t blame this on her.

Why? All they do is go on vacation and the golf course with him and the Mooch.

Recall some stories during the previous administration of agents being inebriated and visiting prostitutes.

The Secret Service seems to have some inherent problems.

So I'm not really clear here about the chain of events. A couple agents go out drinking, then decide to just drop in at the White House, drive into an active investigation, crash into some barriers, then the supervising agent says ‘just let them go home...’

I tried to puzzle out why they were there. First I figured that they weren't staying at the White House, there's just not enough places for people to stay there, even for the President's detail.

But it was a suspicious package investigation, with the current climate, I can easily see someone pulling the ‘all hands on deck’ type deal, and recalled the agent from his night off as he is part of the presidential protection detail. He arrives, someone notices how many people are on scene and figures that they don't need someone who had been drinking, sends him home, just isn't clear on the way out.

Thing is, this story totally reads like a ‘get me higher on the dogpile’ type leak - rich on embarrassing detail, especially the flashing lights touch, and light on actual information - like a recalled agent called in from off duty hours.

You are thinking of Obama period scandals, Bush's secret service "scandal" was him willing to fight to defend his men.

"Melee in Chile seen as ‘big deal’" Law-enforcement authorities said the Chileans, who claimed to be in charge of security for the event, stopped Secret Service agent Nick Trotta as he was escorting Mr. Bush and first lady Laura Bush into the center, jumping in front of the agent as he approached the building entry. The authorities said the Chilean officers had seemed poised to act.

At least one Secret Service agent was shoved against a wall, the authorities said, as Mr. Trotta continued to push his way into the center. It was then that Mr. Bush responded, pushing into the crowd of angry security officials, pointing at Mr. Trotta and ordering that he be released. Mr. Bush finally reached over and grabbed the agent by the suit collar.

“He’s with me,” Mr. Bush said as he waded into the scuffle and pulled the agent through the crowd.

The authorities said the Chilean agents were shocked when they determined that the man pushing over them was Mr. Bush, who, they said, grabbed Mr. Trotta, adjusted his shirt cuffs and then winked at bystanders with the agent at his side.

La Cuarta, a Santiago newspaper, described Mr. Bush’s actions as a “total breach of protocol” and referred to him as “John Wayne … definitely acting like a cowboy.”
