Two Secret Service agents suspected of being under the influence while striking a White House security barricade drove through an active bomb investigation and directly beside the suspicious package, according to current and former government officials familiar with the incident.

These and other new details about the March 4 incident emerged Thursday from interviews and from police records obtained by The Washington Post

Strange story.

[McGruff]

About 10:25 that night, a woman hopped out of a blue Toyota near the southeast entrance of the White House on 15th Street NW and, holding a package wrapped in a green shirt, approached an agent.

“I’m holding a [expletive] bomb!” she yelled, according to a government official with knowledge of the incident

[McGruff]

shortly before 11 p.m., the two high-ranking Secret Service agents, returning from a work party at a Chinatown bar about eight blocks from the White House, drove their government car through the crime scene. According to people familiar with the incident, they drove through police tape and then hit a temporary barricade, using the car to push aside some barrels. An agency official said Thursday that the car was not damaged.

Sec Serv has really morphed into a mobile party.
Did this start when the were following ole BJ around?

[TexasCajun]

These guys sure know how to party!

..at home & abroad.

[BitWielder1]

Morale appears to be running low.

The SS is beginning to sound like Animal House .............

[Red Badger]

Yeah, well it was that partying with a broad that got them in trouble..............

[edpc]

Well....she definitely had an F-bomb.

[Iron Munro]

Drunk on the job?

Unforgivable.

It’s not as if they were doing something that the president could overlook - like Chooming mass quantities of dope
in the car on the way back from a muslim bath house for homosexuals.

"..first I've heard about it"

[Hatteras]

"At 11:45 p.m. Wednesday, the police explosives team determined the suspicious item was not a threat and gave the complex the all-clear. The item was a book."

Well, you know technically...

CLM

Career Limiting Move.
In this case though CEM may be more appropriate.

[Calpublican]

To know you might have to throw yourself in front of a bullet for a Muslim dictator would make anyone drink.

[baddog 219]

It’s like the Secret Service people are so disgusted working to protect the King, that they drink to cope with their distain.

[Gaffer]

I wanted to say something here so, so badly about what they were ‘protecting’ but I shall demur.

[P-Marlowe]

Frankly, I don’t blame Secret Service people for being drunk on the job. I don’t know how they could do their job sober.

drove through an active bomb investigation and directly beside the suspicious package,

They'll get a medal for shielding the bomb with their very bodies! What bravery, what panache!
