(WASHINGTON) -- Washington, D.C., police are investigating the apparent suicide of a U.S. Secret Service supervisory agent assigned to President Obama’s security detail.
“Rafael Prieto had a distinguished 20-year career with the Secret Service that was marked by accomplishment, dedication, and friendships,” Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in a prepared statement. “The Secret Service is mourning the loss of a valued colleague.”
Prieto was in the midst of an administrative process related to his relationship with a foreign national, officials said.
Sources said there was no criminal investigation into Prieto and stressed that he was not connected in any way to the investigation of misconduct by Secret Service personnel in Cartagena, Columbia.
Prieto was not under investigation for espionage and there is no indication that sensitive documents were passed, according to law enforcement sources.
Prieto was found dead on Saturday. The D.C. Police declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation.
>> What are the secret service to do when they witness traitorous activities of their boss, the prez?
Well, if recent memory serves, their PREFERRED coping mechanism is to get drunk and find themselves some hookers. :-)
A Colombian hooker is a “foreign national”.
Probably the only person that knew that Obama gave the stand down order.
No, I’ve never had one of my clients commit suicide under these circumstances. Didn’t see the facts you present in the article.
I am familiar with the circumstances of this case. I also did not ask if you had a client who has taken their own life after having an affair exposed, I asked if you had ever heard of a person doing so.
Liberals lie. The spirit and the consequences of their “free sex” is costly to the individual and to others. It’s costly to the society at large.
This is the waste of a good man’s life. I feel bad for his family and friends. RIP
lol
Too much of a nancy? Sorry to disappoint, but I don’t think I’m the one who was not being clear.
>> I don’t think I’m the one who was not being clear.
Of course you don’t, dear.
That is a significant hypothesis.
hmmm .... maybe he was too close to the first lady
I’m a shrink. Over the past 25 years I’ve probably seen several hundred new patients every year who wanted nothing more than to kill themselves.
Only five ever did that I know of, and not one of them did it over something like a scandal that I know of.
In fact, I don’t recall even a single one out of the many hundreds whose suicidal thoughts were motivated by a scandal or getting caught in an affair or something illegal or embarrassing.
Happens in movies all the time, but in real life it seems limited to “politics”.
It seems to happen lot in young men who’ve been picked up drunk, at least in my neck of the woods.
I was thinking the same thing....not a ticket to long life if you know O
