Two senior Secret Service agents -- one of whom is a top member of President Obama's protective detail -- reportedly drove a government car into White House security barricades after drinking at a late-night party last week.
The Washington Post, citing a current and a former government official familiar with the incident, reported Wednesday afternoon that the officers on duty who witnessed the March 4 incident wanted to arrest the agents and conduct sobriety tests. But the officers were ordered by a supervisor on duty that night to let the agents go home, said the sources, who spoke to the paper on the condition of anonymity.
Witnesses reported that the car’s overhead flashing lights had been activated and both agents were showing their badges to get through a section of the grounds that had been closed off due to an investigation of a suspicious package, according to the people familiar with the incident, the Post reported. The vehicle ran through security tape before hitting the barricades, which an agency official said had been set up temporarily during the investigation into the package.

In February, agents assigned to Vice President Cheney in the San Diego area finished their shift with a stop at a bar, where they got into a drunken brawl with a group of patrons. One of the agents bit off a piece of one man's ear in the fracas.
Before the 2002 Winter Olympic Games in February, agents dropped into a Salt Lake City snowboard shop to pick up souvenir hats. They accidentally left behind a step-by-step plan for protecting Cheney at the Games' closing ceremonies. "I happened to be in the right place at the right time, but if the right bad person found that, something really bad could have happened," said shop owner Clayton Greenhalgh, who returned the plan to the Secret Service.
In October 1999, a female agent guarding First Lady Hillary Clinton had her purse - containing her 357-caliber service weapon - stolen as she drank at the bar in Chicago's Fairmont Hotel, where Clinton was staying. Sources told the magazine the agent was promoted a grade between that and an earlier incident in which she lost her gun.

The runts of the SS protect the POSOTUS. Its the cream that protects Hilliary's basement server.
Ted Cruz’s cabinet appointees and other department heads should be made before he runs, as Glenn and others have been saying. One of those appointments should be Dan Bongino to lead the Secret Service and bring it back to its former glory.
Maybe if we’re lucky, a Secret Service that can’t do its job will accidentally allow something bad to ksejhtgerdkl;’ghskgaaah! help!!! ioewfhjsdioafhsiosd AAAAH!
[ O inspires such competence. ]
If my job and duty to my country required me catching some lead in his stead i would drink a LOT.... Just Sayin...
Secret Service personnel has probably been picked over for “loyalty” the way our military has been.
Boy they must be really partying LOL!
Knowing that I might have to take a bullet for that assclown, I’d be drunk 24/7.
Do they still have a lesbo split tail running that agency?
I have a sneaking suspicion BO brought in some of his ‘peeps’.
I think so to, plus he demoralized the rest of the elite group.
I’d stay drunk if I had to protect this prez and his beard.
I think the next president needs to fire and replace every single current federal employee.
How about we only replace about 50% of them.
And that right there is the heart of the matter.
That’d be okay. The remainder could be put on probation.
They were testing the barriers.
