Secret Service agents busted because they refused to pay hooker: source

The dozen Secret Service agents sent home after a prostitution scandal in Colombia were busted after at least one of them refused to pay a hooker, sources said.

The scandal — a black eye for the United States’ reputation abroad — was revealed Friday before President Obama arrived in Cartagena for the Summit of the Americas.

The 12 agents were part of an advance team meant to secure a local hotel before the summit began — yet their attention apparently turned to taking advantage of Colombia’s policy of legal prostitution.

“They had arranged to have a bunch of prostitutes come by and one of the agents refused to pay a prostitute,” said author Ronald Kessler, one of the leading experts on the Secret Service. “Yes, doubly good judgement there.”

[snip] Prostitution is legal in Colombia, as long as it is conducted in so-called “tolerance zones.”

It is hard to believe 12 adult men would all agree at the same time to order hookers? Not believable.

Could it be the one(s) who refused to pay did not want any part of this to begin with? So some jerkhead orders 12 hookers thinking all would partake. And then when 12 ladies of the night later showed up, and demand payment, well, no way I would pay for something I would never agree to nor partake of. Let the rest of the group be damned by my refusal.

Since nobody, not even the hotel, had the presence of mind to pay the hooker and make this all go away, I think we can infer a setup of some sort.

Maybe there are Breitbarts in Colombia, too.

Possibly so as a pretext to get some of Obama’s “civilian military” people in their positions..

As I said earlier. One didn't pay, but all their names are connected to hookers, via the hotel. Best and brightest.

What an embarrassment for the Secret Service and the United States. This is cr@p we read about from another country and chuckle. This sounds like an agency that needs wholesale butt kicking and a complete turnover in it's hierarchy.

What a disgrace.

I don’t think that’s at all unlikely.

We are a nation founded by Puritans, and our contempt for prostitution drives women it that business into furtive behavior and shame. Yet “loose” behavior which is engaged in voluntarily, is defiantly welcomed here.

Elsewhere, where societal pressures and prohibitions are not what they are here, hookers some places behave very much like temporary girlfriends.

I wouldn’t be surprized if that’s exactly what happened.

(If it happened at all, and isn’t just a deliberate distraction to get the DNC “War on Wives” out of the news)

The ethics for employees in the Federal government, especially the moral rules limiting sex, have been ditched as being judgemental, intolerant and hate. Self discipline breaks down and this is what happens. Corruption enters the door. Sex does have an expression of power and abuse if not governed by respect and love.

It’s coming to the military, worse than it is now, too. It’s in the public schools among teachers as they are ordered by activists to interact sexually with the children to erase sexual rules and “judgement” or discernment.

It has been imposed as a cultural cleansing program of erasing sexual norms and taboos as demanded by the gay elitists and their supporters (used to be known as feminists). Christianity or not, psychologically and socially, a program of moral corruption of the government and children is not harmless.

I think this is why they are systematically sexually molesting passengers at the airports. Some leaders in the Obama admin. and TSA are getting a thrill of imposing themselves sexually on the sheep. When the people complain about being fondled and photographed and viewed naked, they are protrayed as the ones who are crazy. The perverts are the sane ones. They can do what they want to anyone they want.

They need to have a taxpayer convention in Las Vegas to work out their morale problems. Worked well for the GSA.

what frequently happens in Vegas and many foreign cities is hookers will come on to men that look like they can pay alot in a typical place to meet women, spend the night and then give the bill in the morning. The hookers will say the men were too drunk to recall the price or dont understand the local language and threaten to have a pimp convince them.

These guys would probably not give in and get told on. It could easily be a political sting or a set-up to get US drug forces out of Colombia. Female spies have always been important assets...
