The Secret Service officer responsible for the recall of 11 agents in a dispute with Colombian prostitutes over payment to Dania Suarez, has been revealed as Paula Reid, a rising black star in the agency. She recently became the head of the agencys Miami office after 21 years on the force. Ms. Reid uncovered the scandal and alerted her superiors about the egregious behavior of the agents. Paula Reid was in Cartagena ahead of President Obamas trip, laying the groundwork for his arrival at the Summit of the Americas, when she heard that her agents were involved in a fight at the Hotel Caribe, according to the Washington Post. The disagreement ended when police was called and was sparked by one agent refusing to pay local hooker, Dania Suarez, who had spent the night in his room.
A little background on Paula Reid:
She grew up in Maryland, and has served in the White House as well as Miami since joining the Secret Service in 1990.

It does sound fishy.
all this as the look of a set-up. The rubble is coming.
Paula Reid is the Special Agent In Charge of the Protective Intelligence and Assessment Division. She began her career with the Secret Service in 1990 and has since been promoted many times. Currently, she oversees a staff of special agents, analysts and specialists who work on threats or inappropriate interest in officials who receive Secret Service protection. She is a member of Women in Federal Law Enforcement (WIFLE) and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. In 2009 she received the Public Service award from WIFLE.
What did you do before starting a career in federal law enforcement?
Im from Calvert County, Md., and I received my Bachelors degree in criminal justice from the University of Maryland in 1988. After graduation, I was an equal opportunity specialist at the U.S. Patent and Trade Office. When I was age 25 I attended the annual NAACP Conference and Career Fair where I met with recruiters from several federal law enforcement agencies. I didnt know much about the Secret Service, but I knew that I wanted to be an investigator. Following the conference I applied to become a special agent.
Was there ever a time when you couldnt have imagined yourself in law enforcement?
I always wanted to be an investigator and although I considered becoming a lawyer, I cant imagine not being in law enforcement.
What attracted you to your current position?
I enjoy white collar investigations particularly identity and credit card theft and counterfeiting.

Well...isn’t that just special.
Quite a puff piece at the Minneapolis Star Tribune.
Paula Reid is “Wonder Woman”

I suspect that if she had anything to do with this getting out of house, her career is no longer rising. Who knows.
Heck she could:
1. Become the next lefty star if she runs for office as having taken down a law enforcement agency.
2. or the next conservative star if she later runs for office as a fiscal conservative who was concerned with government waste.
Sounds like a way for a black female to embarrass a bunch of white males, and provide an excuse for a change in personnel.
Although it hasn't received much press, I suspect Obama, Holder, etc, have been busy filling the ranks in SS, CIA, etc with "their people".
I foresee massively ugly political infighting in the various government bureaucracies when Obummer leaves, and the affirmative action hirelings try to retain their power into the next administration.
Nawwwww, that's crazy. 0bama would never allow anything as racist as that to happen. /s
She grew up in Maryland, and has served in the White House as well as Miami since joining the Secret Service in 1990. She never married and has a twin sister. She is regularly seen at the gym at 5:30 in the morning and at her desk by 7 a.m. Reid graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in criminal justice and joined the Secret Service at age 25 after visiting an NAACP job fair that sought to encourage minority applicants for law enforcement jobs.So she's about 47 years old, never married, no kids. The classic bitter, aging feminist with a chip on her shoulder. She was probably unpopular with her non-black colleagues before this, and will be hated by them now. She should probably retire when Obama leaves office.
Should help her career...”
Would this be as the next head of the Secret Service maybe or just the one who will be totally responsible for all security for Obama?

As the wheels of justice slowly turn...... as for the Uberage kids. I’m sure they are well established in their professional careers at this point.
Thanks Ernest. This is a misdirection play to give the partisan media shills something to cover rather than covering Fast and Furious.
Um, not for embarrassing the president. My bet is she resigns in the next 90 days.
No, I didn’t get to see that one. I probably would have jumped all over that one as well. I’m getting very punchy over this situation.
I mean I’ve always loathed any group that would name themselves Black (ie Black caucus, NAACP, New Black Panthers, Blacks in Government (BIG), National Association of Black Journalists) I could go on, but I’m making myself sick!
These are racist groups and should not be doing what they are doing. I would never allow my kids, family, or anyone I associated with to be in any group that considered themselves white in any way shape or form. What are we doing here? We are all in this together!

On top of that, to get that many secret service agents involved would have to have a culture that this is routine and a regular thing. You can bet it is damage control time as many cities as Obama has been to, this kind of thing is going to just keep leaking out.
