The Colombian prostitute who triggered the scandal that has rocked the Secret Service got angry with two agents who refused to pay her full price for servicing the two of them, leading to a financial dispute over between $40 and $60, according to a government source who has been briefed on the investigation.
Two agents from the service's elite Counter Assault Team, in Cartagena, Colombia, in advance of President Barack Obama's arrival for the Summit of the Americas over the weekend, had procured the women's services at a local strip club called the Pley Club on the evening of April 11. All the Secret Service agents and officers implicated in the scandal are believed to have gone to the club that evening and brought back women, a U.S. official told NBC News.

Thing is that there are no real facts that have been reported, don't know how many "Agents" were actually hookering it up.
Might have been only one or two, and all of their associates are being cashiered for not keeping a couple of degenerate morons in line.
That would actually be the responsible thing for Command to do.
If the Supervisors weren't respected or feared enough, and fellow agents not vigilant enough that even one SS agent would even try pulling something like this, the whole squad needs to go.
Something else. The press is almost certainly well aware of who the agents are,, and probably have a ton of photos of them from other trips.
Someone won’t show us pix,, and i’m getting curious as to why. They are either Holders people,, or if not, they know things about Obama and the press does not want to focus the spotlight on them and ramp up the pressure. They might start to sing,,
Is there a “thin gray line” in play here? If these guys suffer too much do their buddies start getting lax on purpose?
they deserve to lose their jobs and their pensions
Uh, maybe because they are the Secret Service?
Wouldn't mind pics of the hookers though.
In fact, WHERE THE HELL IS THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER?
what do you think? Cronyism? Affirmative action?
“or there is something else going on here and these people are being purged for one reason or another”
Could there be a new Praetorian Guard in the making? Think SS, not the Secret Service kind, the REAL SS.
Something’s not right..
The prurient side of me wonders what sex act was being disputed for fifty bucks.
U.S. Secret Serviced
Outstanding!
“Uh, maybe because they are the Secret Service”
Trite,,, but they will all lose their jobs. Their identity doesn’t need to be secret. Also, agents are routinely noted in press photos. The name is “secret service” but no, their names are not actually a “secret”. Also, the press undoubtedly knows who they are.
The press and Obama have a habit of relentlessly exposing anything secret when they think it benefits them. So when the press and Obama are keeping photos away,,, it benefits them somehow. Just watch.
There was a large USPS meeting in NYC and a good dozen employees in the then Marketing Division ~ very involved in the sale downstream of Stamps and Stories to mostly children (through their parents) ended up spending the night at the contractor's Mid-Town Penthouse ~ which was, apparently, huge!
So, somewhere the story got out that a dozen Postal "Executives" partied it up at so - and - so's penthouse suite in an all-night party!
The scandal rolled on for months and dire threats of punishment were made by politicians everywhere ~ Jack Anderson raged!
In the end not much was done. There was no party.
Most of those "executives" were just lower level staff guys working in the same office I was. That's back in the days when postal clerks (several rungs below our level) were paying higher taxes than the Speaker of the House. A very primitive time.
We probably will never hear the details of what happened in Columbia, or what happened to these guys caught up in it, but Fur Shur it will be far less significant than imagined by anyone presently commenting on it.
Yours would be the most plausible explanation thus far, if the agents were the “body” team, but weren’t these guys from the advance team?
There is no “good” explanation for this story. It is either evidence of massive corruption in the SS ranks or a massive setup job to destroy these agents.
Is prostitution legal or illegal in Columbia?
