This can’t be about prostitutes. “Brought” “one” “to the hotel where Obama would be staying in five days?”

When I used to fly military cargo jets, I supported many, many Presidential support missions. Two of the heavy users of airlift were the Secret Service and the White House Communications Agency.

Here is what I suspect.

1. The Secret Service is guilty as charged in the scandal, but they are not the only sinners in this escapade and they are being held out as scapegoat - and now they know it.

2. I would wager that the Obama White House has employees that are directly implicated or could be implicated in the prostitution scandal, but the cover up is in full swing.

3. The cover up can be worse than a scandal.

4. The Secret Service got tired of being kicked in the teeth, and leaked the White House Communication Agency link to Republicans (probably Sen Grassley and others).

5. Grassely knows the answers to the questions he already sent to the Secret Service and leaked to the press: who was staying where, at what times, and what happened to those hotel records?

Great post. This sounds right to me. I would only add that this has got to be a huge international embarrassment. There was an international incident when the thing first went down and I think this thing continues to give off an odor internationally.

The other thing is what security was breached or could have been breached. I’m sure those questions and answers are quite technical but beyond the fact that there were prostitutes and incidents what were the real or potential security implications of this whole episode?

“White House has employees that are directly implicated or could be implicated in the prostitution scandal, but the cover up is in full swing”

Bingo! That’s what I’ve suspected from the beginning. The SS was probably just screening the hookers for the Obama people.
