State Department memo reveals possible cover-ups, halted investigations
(CBS News) CBS News has uncovered documents that show the State Department may have covered up allegations of illegal and inappropriate behavior within their ranks.
The Diplomatic Security Service, or the DSS, is the State Department's security force, charged with protecting the secretary of state and U.S. ambassadors overseas and with investigating any cases of misconduct on the part of the 70,000 State Department employees worldwide.
CBS News' John Miller reports that according to an internal State Department Inspector General's memo, several recent investigations were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off. The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut "engaged in sexual assaults" on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's security detail "engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries" -- a problem the report says was "endemic."
The memo also reveals details about an "underground drug ring" was operating near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and supplied State Department security contractors with drugs.
Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator with the State Department's internal watchdog agency, the Inspector General, told Miller, "We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases."
In such cases, DSS agents told the Inspector General's investigators that senior State Department officials told them to back off, a charge that Fedenisn says is "very" upsetting.
"We were very upset. We expect to see influence, but the degree to which that influence existed and how high up it went, was very disturbing," she said.

Problem is its not just the Dems - the whole things rotten as a 6 day smooshed apple - the exceptions are few making them stand out like the seeds in the middle.
The State Dept has no shame.
Giving away US secrets.
Watching their OWN ambassador being gang raped by the Enemy
after THEY refused his protection for which he repeated
pleaded.
Helping the Enemies of the USA.
Working to Destroy the Constitution of the USA.
Supporting RAPE.
Supporting slavery.
Supporting crucifixions.
Supporting rocket attacks on women and children.
And when they come in each day, before their five
prayers to allah, they pray at the statue of Arafat,
blessed by the US State Dept
because he murdered a handicapped American Jew.
Soon all of Barrys government will up in front of Darrell Issas committee..........
It really seems that way
Make it a Coke, please. I've had so much popcorn, I'm about to pop!
LOL!
Dear God what a mess. Imagine the guts it takes to go up against these people.
If you don't live in Fascist NY City, do you want to Jumbo Size your order?
I just assume every aspect of every Department of the Obama Administration is always corrupt on every occasion.
Any isolated occurrence of integrity or honesty is then a welcome aberration.
Two hours after CBS News made inquiries to the State Department about these charges, investigators from the State Departments Inspector General showed up at her door.
Another scandal. More whistleblowers. At this rate there are going to be so many whistleblowers they could form their own union.
Thanks Maggie
This is to destroy Hillary. obama hates the Clintons and all this smoochy-kissy crap has been for show. He’s now going to finish destroying them.
As for prostitutes being hired, what was Hillary going to do after Huma ran home to protect her Weiner.
From article : “
...Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults” on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards ...”
Official -men. Guards - men.
Wasn’t there comments immediately after the attack that the attackers were known tobthe American?
All depends on what the meaning of known is!
Gives significance to the fact ambassador was sodimized .
Thanks Maggie and all for keeping me pinged to all the news while I was away! Looks like folks are starting to come out of the woodwork finally to blow the whistle on the staggering abuses of power by this administration.
Praying very hard that this country wakes up!!
Absolute power . . . .
“Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power. In this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn’t see the difference.” Francis Underwood, in House of Cards.

>>...Is that normal?
No, it’s a little slow; it usually only takes ‘em fifteen minutes to a half hour to start the witness intimidation program.
