As the prostitution scandal engulfing Secret Service Agents continues to be a headache for the administration, consequences are beginning to accrue for the people involved. Specifically, three different Secret Service Agents have been forced out today over their actions. ABC News reports:
Three Secret Service agents have been forced out of their positions as officials investigate the alleged hiring of prostitutes and other questionable behavior during a presidential visit to Colombia.
“Although the Secret Service’s investigation into allegations of misconduct by its employees in Cartagena, Colombia, is in its early stages, and is still ongoing, three of the individuals involved will separate or are in the process of separating from the agency,” said Paul S. Morrissey, the assistant director of the U.S. Secret Service Office of Government and Public Affairs, in a written statement.
One supervisory employee was allowed to retire and another was “proposed for removal for cause,” the statement said. In addition, a non-supervisory employee resigned.
Will this be the last casualty of the event? Unlikely, but all the same, clearly the Federal government at least wants to give the appearance of dealing with the situation responsibly.

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 3:18pmAs the numbers and branches continue to grow in this matter, it makes me wonder, as did several other of you, if it wasn’t a setup, as well. I find it difficult to believe that just about ALL persons assigned to the Presidential detail would jump off the cliff at the same time. Perhaps they were given doctored drinks? Or someone else did the “booking” of these “doves of the night”?
Report Post »Then I wonder what would be the purpose? Could it be to have to have the Prez‘ personally chosen detail from within groups that wouldn’t be answerable to anyone but him? God knows he likes to work that way.
I don’t like this at all! And the more I learn, the less likely I am to see this as a full fledged melt down of the Secret Service and Military.

Posted on April 19, 2012 at 12:45pmMay I suggest that the scandal in Columbia has put the purpose of the visit off the front pages of the news. I thought the purpose of the visit was to further entangle the USA into CAFTA — you know like NAFTA and the Korean version, etc. Interesting isn‘t that CAFTA isn’t even being whisper about in the media any where — while all eyes are focused on the alleged drug and sex scandals in Columbia.
Designed scandal to divert attention from what Americans should really be concerned about???

In the text of the article, I fail to see where even ONE, let alone three, have been fired!!!!!!!!!!
Letting one retire, letting one resign and RECOMMENDING one for removal DOES NOT EQUATE to a single one being fired!!!!!!!!

Posted on April 18, 2012 at 10:23pmConnect dots, folks. You know how Liberals like to push out an agenda and everyone in the media say the same thing? The last one was “GOP War on Women” Then, the unplanned, Black Panther “Sea of Blood” was told by DOJ Holder to stop. So, this week it is the “White House War on the Military and Secret Service Men.” They need the American people not respecting the Military, so that the Liberals can do super hair cuts on the military budget, when SHTF.
When SHTF, Liberals can then give the money to the Social Programs instead. That is why “The Sea of Blood” had to stop; they cannot afford to allow the general public to see all that ugliness from the Black community. That is why this whole “down with the military” started with Bill Ayers said, “Why do we have to allow the military to board the airplane first? “ The April ”Get the Military!” Agenda !!

Posted on April 18, 2012 at 9:44pmMr. Beck whines how could this happen? How could this happen?
It’s easily explained.
No one is in charge. There are less governmental employees now than there were when President Reagan left office.
All the regulations in the world can be created, but if you don’t have anyone to enforce the regulations of perform oversight the regulations are useless.
There is no oversight.
That’s where the stimulus money should have been spent, not on some pie in the sky risky manufacturing adventures.

Posted on April 18, 2012 at 9:13pm. Will be hard to prosecute on this one. Under Obama, members of the military can go out, pick up a woman and a man, take them back to their room, and do them both. Yep, he ended DADT, and in ending it, claim that soldiers can also be bisexual. During the training, we were told that morale and discipline would remain high. what a joke.
The new DADT ending training session was a real hoot. I raised my hand, and asked if adultery was now ok? and was told “of course not”, it goes against order and discipline. I raised my hand again, and asked if married soldiers were included in the clause that says soldiers can now be bi-sexual. I was told yes.
I raised my hand again, and claimed that basically we are saying that if a married soldier goes out on Friday night, picks up a dude, and does him, he is OK, but if the same solider goes out on Friday night, picks up a chick, and does her, that we can prosecute him for conduct unbecoming???? I got lots of blank stares, head scratching, and no answer.
basically, the leadership could not answer many of my questions, because they did not think it through. The highest levels of leadership in our military, turned their back on soldiers, they threw values, ethics, morals out the window, and drank the Obama Kool Aid. Now they try to sit there high and mighty, and try to pick up a turd by the clean end, and now they all stink.

Posted on April 18, 2012 at 8:25pmAbsolutely! Anyone else notice that everytime he tries to get rid of someone, or in this case the agency, its always has something to do with s ex. First, when he was running for Senator, then Herman Cain, and now the Secret Service. I‘m sure there are others also that I’ve forgotten. He won’t rest until he has ruined every American instituion that we believe in.
As corrupt as this administration is, it also wouldn’t surprise me if they had a hand in that BP oil explosion. Ya know, he had to get control of the oil industry someway because that’s the lifeblood of our Country. And what‘s a few lives of people that he didn’t know…and then he stayed so distant from it all for so long and just bashed BP while he did nothing that could help the situation. I believed it even more after learning about Fast and Furious.. Just an observation from my chair.

Syrian / Lebanese Arab immigration into the area is more concentrated in ‘Barranquilla, Cartagena, Santa Marta, and Maicao.’ The bordering city with Venezuela – Maicao (Col) market is probably 90% Arab.
Though not all Arabs in south America are “political,” and some are not Muslim, yet, the Arab-Islamic Hezbollah growing phenomenon in Latin America -in recent years- certainly sharpened Arab nationalism which is today very militant-Islamic in nature. A 2008 drug probe finds Hezbollah financing link and a 2009 report shows Hezbollah has active cell on Colombia-Venezuela border.
So did Chavez’s anti-Americanism, exploiting it, and embedding it into his “anti-Imperialism” sentiments. His pro-Arabism showed such strength that in 2009, a Kuwaiti MP “called to move Arab League to Venezuela.“ Stating he ”has proved that he was more Arab than some Arabs.”
