I dont believe the accusations against the Secret Service
CNN ^ | 4-14-12 | Dan Lothian

The Secret Service is an honorable organization, willing to put up with abuse from Hillary and others while putting their lives at risk protecting them. I dont believe this story.

It would be more believable to me if they were claiming one or two agents were involved. The story as it is being told doesn’t ring true. There are bad apples in every group, hard to believe there would be that many in that group.

For this to be a hatchet job, there would have to be no evidence of someone breaching the secure area with the cooperation of at least one officer.

I don’t believe that to be the case. I think there was a security breach, and that the SS took their normal precautions when faced with a compromised unit - they replaced it.

The hooker part is just the reason why it’s juicy news being spread by the tabloid CNN. As for the accusations against others, the unauthorized visitor probably wasn’t logged, was let into a secure area by officers or the agent in charge, was probably seen by others in the unit, and probably wasn’t logged out of the secure area, all significant breaches of the security protocol.

The actual embarrassing part about it is being told by the local police that your security was compromised. It would have been one thing if this was discovered internally, that it came from an outside source means heads are going to roll as an example.

I don’t believe it either. To the best of my knowledge the SS is highly supervised and if they are out of the country guarding someone they are on duty 24/7. They rotate them in and out of hotels to sleep but thats about it. Its not like they get off at 5PM and just go off anywhere they please. I saw this article yesterday and I thought it was really fishy.

the Secret Service was moved out of Treasury and into the Department of Homeland Security.

Being a SService agent, just like being a cop or a soldier or a priest, doesn’t make one immune to sin, stupidity and senseless behaviour.

It should, that's why these individuals are hand picked to protect the president of the U.S. It's one thing to expose one's self to contracting crabs or STD's via this alleged behavior as a businessman or tourist is likely to do but it's a totally different story when these individuals allow themselves to become susceptible to intelligence blackmail by foreign parties due to their actions.

This is not the first time SS agents have probably done this sort of thing.
Remember Kennedy’s detail had been out the night before Dallas in Fort Worth pretty much doing the same thing, Booze and Women. Most of those guys were out to 2 and 3am in the morning. They had a lack of sleep and some were hung over when the Dallas mess happened.
So this kind of stuff does happen from time to time.

One agent didn’t want to pay the hotel a fee for a “guest” so Obama sends the whole lot of them packing home?

No I think his handlers made a suggestion to clean his house, that one or more of the agents were spying and reporting on Obamas activities and thus had to be removed immediately.

Thus why the urgency to replace the rolling cocoon of security? I think its because Obama is about to do something he does NOT want America to know about.

The house of Obama is a smoke filled room full of twisted and distorted mirrors, doors with passages to nowhere and booby trapped floors.

... but I respect the reputation of the Secret Service and this doesnt ring true.

There are honorable people in the Secret Service.

They took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, didn't they?

You seem to forget their actions during Slick Willie's term when they were doing back flips to avoid testifying during Clinton's impending impeachment trial. Yeah, real stand-up guys.

And, responding to biggredd1 by saying, Don’t be stupid and ignorant,

really doesn't answer his assertion, does it?

“When the Clintons wanted to get rid of SS agents who knew too much, they would just perish in mysteriously plane crashes.”

Or get killed in a “botched” ATF raid in Waco.

Corrupt leaders corrupt organizations. Expect no part of the federal government to be uncorrupted by the time the Obamanation is finished.

You are parroting cop haters who think the actions of some taint everyone.

If you ever had the chance to meet an honorable secret service agent who does his duty while holding the personal opinion that Obama is an arrogant prick you’d eat your words.

I believe them....in this day of Obama and his government minions, I’d believe almost any bad news about them.

I am not willing to automatically accept the word of a Colombian hooker over the reputation of our Secret Service agents.

Or CNN, for that matter...

We need to let this play out before we believe first reports.

Understand your faith. However, I believe an honorable person would not serve evil, pure and simple. Tough choice to stand for your beliefs.

an arrogant prick? That’s mild compared to a commie usurper who has forged documents and cant pass a secret service background check. You need to grow a brain.

There are soon to be 12 disgruntled ex-SS agents. Could make things interesting going forward.
