Three Secret Service agents responsible for protecting President Obama in Amsterdam this week were sent home and put on administrative leave Sunday after going out for a night of drinking, according to three people familiar with the incident. One of them was found drunk and passed out in a hotel hallway, the people said.
The hotel staff alerted the U.S. Embassy in the Netherlands after finding the unconscious agent Sunday morning, a day before Obama arrived in the country, according to two of the people. The embassy then alerted Secret Service managers on the presidential trip, which included Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan confirmed Tuesday evening that the agency “did send three employees home for disciplinary reasons” and that they were put on administrative leave pending an investigation. Donovan declined to comment further.
According to two people familiar with the Amsterdam incident, the three individuals are all members of the Secret Service’s Counter Assault Team, known in the agency as CAT, and one was serving in a supervisory position.
The alleged behavior would violate new Secret Service rules adopted in the wake of a damaging scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, in April 2012, when a dozen Secret Service agents and officers had been drinking heavily and had brought prostitutes back to their hotel rooms prior to the president’s arrival for an economics summit.

They should have just smoked some dope or did some cocaine with the Big Choomer.
What if they compromised the teleprompter?
If the teleprompter was compromised, then the president won’t know what his positions are, until after his speech is played back to him.
....yes sir!..........if the fed government stands for one thing it is NO ACCOUNTABILITY........Lerner is still getting a full retirement check and not in jail, Clinton never got thrown in jail, Hildebeast got away with murder and I could write a novel on the subject.
Also note that the 10 SS agents in the Colombian incident were “removed from their job”. That almost certainly does not mean fired.
These SS agents knew they would not be fired or held accountable..........just like everybody else, except military guys.
Looked at FReeRepublic history and there are a lot of instances where this has happened in this President’s Administration, one that is resent :

Maybe they were celebrating the transition phase from Obama’s Socialism to Communism (commonly called Alcoholism).
If I was assigned to protect the A-hole in chief I’d need a lot of drinks too.
Cant say I blame them.What a miserable job to protect the boy king who is hell bent on destroying this great country.
Sadder still that little barry bastard boy is so ______ that he really doesn’t even need a protection detail! The world has lost discernment capability.
“Care to elaborate?”
No
“You get it.”
Who cares?
You’re mistaking me for someone who cares if you care.
I have a buddy that joined the Secret Service in the mid 2000s... He was assigned to the Hillary security detail during the 2008 primaries and I just felt awful for him.
One time late at night during a bachelor party weekend one friend was all obnoxiously drunk and insisted that he be shown an honest to goodness Secret Service “takedown”... my ST buddy is a quiet, humble guy, and he didhis best to deflect what he was being asked... but the drunk friend just insisted over and over... “Come on! Show me some Secret Service moves!”
Well after 20 minutes of this my buddy had enough... and totally wiped the drunk guy out... pinned to the ground in a millisecond complete with knee to the neck.
We were all falling down laughing... at 2:30am...
I reckon it takes a toll having to protect someone as loathsome and dishonest as B.O.
He wouldn't even need to be abducted. All he would need to do is get drunk enough to talk about confidential security matters and not notice that there were people in earshot who may relay the info to hostiles.
I'm not in a profession even close to the sensitivity of Presidential Detail, but even I would never have gotten falling down drunk on a business trip with co-workers. It's just totally unprofessional.
A GIRL is head of the Secret Service??? No WONDER they were drinking.
Obama has bred such contempt among people that even his protection team has lost all regard for him. Secret Service once was likely the most dedicated of all Federal police type agencies.

In modern times the Secret Service has become more of a Tyranny enabling oligarchy ignoring oath, duty to the Constitution of the United States, and lacking in applying enforcement of the nations laws equally, including applying enforcement upon the president himself.
No POTUS should be above the law nor arrest for violations thereof. President Grant was arrested {cited} for speeding. Has any POTUS been cited for anything since? Protection of POTUS from assailants is a necessary job and I don't dispute that is a legitimate and needed function of the Secret Service. Likewise the standard of protecting the people from unlawful Tyranny by any branch they protect should also be a function of the Secret Service. That includes exposing any and all blackmailable offenses of public officials while still holding office.
Keep in mind what I am saying here. Secret Service should if violations occur use their arrest powers. Congress should then after being informed publically should hold trial for Impeachment and if needed removal.
What about their actions during Slick Willie’s administration when they were doing legal back flips to avoid testifying about what they knew of his behavior?

Let’s just extend the cover-ups by the SS and FBI to include LBJ, JFK, RFK, Eleanor Roosevelt, JE Hoover, Hillary, et al, since they all involved sexual dalliance. Should probably add BHO to that list due to his bathhouse experiences, etc.
