Title: The Secret Service Prostitution Scandal
Post by: trapeze on April 14, 2012, 02:12:10 PM
There are two different stories (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/secret-service-agents-busted-refused-pay-hooker-source-article-1.1061657) emerging from people involved in this situation.

The first story is that...

Quote
“They had arranged to have a bunch of prostitutes come by and one of the agents refused to pay a prostitute,” said author Ronald Kessler, one of the leading experts on the Secret Service. “Yes, doubly good judgement there.”

The second story is...

Quote
A former Secret Service member told The New York Times that only one one agent tried to purchase the services of a hooker — but the whole team was recalled as part of the investigation.


I have to say that the second story sounds more plausible in that it only involves on person rather than two or more. It is difficult to believe that an organization like the Secret Service could arrive in Colombia (or anywhere else) and just abandon good judgement, years of training, morality, etc. en masse.

After all, for the people who were actually involved in using the services of a prostitute and those, if any, involved in covering it up this will be the end of their careers at the Secret Service. They will never be employed by the federal government again. Finding work elsewhere will be difficult. It's just hard to believe that this has actually happened.

Which of course, leads me to think that there might be a third story...that this might be a total fabrication invented by the host country's government in order to cause the USA embarrassment.

The truth will come out eventually but for now this is the turd that the media has left on the floor.

I immediately suspected that your 3rd story is probably what is going on here. Obama has really dumped all over Colombia, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were dong a lil payback.

This CBS News story (http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57414096/secret-service-dismissals-biggest-scandal-for-agency/) goes into more detail on the first option...that there were several people involved and that it actually happened.

I have read the book about the Secret Service by Ron Kessler. It was a light read that contained mostly anecdotal information about the Secret Service (no information about procedures, of course) and the presidents who they served since Kennedy. Lots of stories about what assholes the presidents and their families were (with some notable exceptions). So, mainly a gossip book. There was some discussion of how poorly financed the Secret Service was and how they had to do much with little. Kessler works for NewsMax so take that for what it's worth.

I actually have personal experience with the Secret Service. In one of my previous employment situations I spent about a week working with one of these same SS advance teams. All in all, I was with the team for about 60 hours prior to a visit by the first President Bush. If there was any lack of funding that prevented them from doing their job properly at that time (twenty years ago) I did not see it. I will not believe that the manpower for a presidential visit is any less now than it was then. It involves several dozen SS personnel and about a dozen people from the US Army Communications group. The amount of detail in preparations is staggering. I cannot imagine how they could have done what they did and found any time for hookers and/or heavy drinking (also alleged) and still complete their work in the time provided before the arrival of the president. I mean, I was with them for 60 hours but they were working around the clock with little to no time for sleep let alone fun and games with hookers. So...for me, this is all a little bit hard to believe.

Now, on the other hand, the Bushes and the Reagans have utilized this stuff a lot less than Clinton and O'Bongo. The Democrat presidents seem to view Air Force One as their own personal travel service and, according to Kessler, treat the SS protection detail as personal slaves. So maybe there has been some fatigue set in over the last three and a half years as O'Bongo and family have jetted all over the world at several times the frequency of GWB, his father or President Reagan. If that is the case I don't see it as an excuse for falling down on the job...they should have quit rather than allow standards to fall. But I can see the fatigue factor. As I said, you would not believe the amount of advance work that goes into each and every stop a president makes outside of DC and the immediate area.

From Kessler's book:

Quote
In the summer of 2008, the Secret Service asked for and received an extra $9.5 million to cover unexpected  cost of protecting the candidates, in addition to the $106.7 million already budgeted. In all the Secret Service protected the candidates on 5,141 travel stops. More than 2.8 million people passed throughout the thirty five hundred Secret Service magnetometers.

This did not include screening 1.5 million people at events attended by the president and other protects, or the screening at the two national conventions, in Denver and Saint Paul...

From FNC: (http://politics.blogs.foxnews.com/2012/04/14/hotel-dispute-started-confrontation-sent-home-secret-service-agents-misconduct-involving-)

Quote
New details are emerging about the incident at the Hotel Caribe, where the Secret Service advance team was staying ahead of Obama's three-day visit to the country.

A senior law enforcement official said the dispute started when hotel employees witnessed inappropriate behavior.

An employee approached at least one Secret Service agent and demanding that he pay extra money for having an additional overnight guest in his room.

The agent balked, which eventually resulted in a confrontation and forced diplomatic intervention.

The official said the guest involved apparently was a prostitute. It remains unclear whether more agents and more prostitutes were involved.

A hotel employee told the Associated Press the agents were drinking heavily during their stay.

The senior law enforcement official stressed the matter is under investigation and officials are still trying to corroborate initial details.

And this:

Quote
The embarrassing incident has quickly eclipsed issues addressed at the summit such as foreign trade, the economy; drug trafficking, immigration and collaboration among the 33 Western Hemisphere countries.

I remember when the USA was too respected for anything like this to happen. By "this" I mean, either the SS screwing up or a foreign gov setting us up for something like this.

CARTAGENA, Colombia — A U.S. lawmaker says a "significant number" of Secret Service agents involved in an alleged prostitution scandal at an international summit brought women back to their hotel rooms before President Barack Obama arrived in Colombia.

U.S. Rep. Peter King, who was briefed Saturday on the investigation, tells The Associated Press that "close to" all 11 of the agents involved had women in the rooms at their hotel, which was separate from the one where Obama is now staying.

The New York Republican says the women were "presumed to be prostitutes," but investigators are interviewing the agents. King heads the House Homeland Security Committee.

Not good.

Kind of capping off O'Bongo's terrible, horrible, no good, miserable, very bad week.

So now the US military is involved...

Quote
CARTAGENA, Colombia — Five U.S. military members have been ordered confined to quarters over possible involvement in inappropriate conduct at the same hotel here as the 11 Secret Service agents sent home in an unfolding scandal involving local prostitutes.

Making the announcement Saturday, United States Southern Command commander Gen. Douglas Fraser said he is “disappointed by the entire incident and that this behavior is not in keeping with the professional standards expected of members of the United States military.”

LINK (http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0412/75134.html)

I would assume that the "military" members that are alleged to be involved are the Army Communications group. They are responsible for setting up a mobile command post that allows the president to communicate with the military when he is away from DC and not on Air Force One. The setup is immense.

Colombia had become very cooperative with the US during the latter Bush administration. We were in turn helping them in their campaign against the Marxist narco-guerrila group FARC. There is no love lost between Colombia and Venezuela (Hugo provides material support for FARC).

Colombia may have seen what happened with Obongo demanding the reinstatement of that Marxist usurper in Honduras and decided on a little preemptive embarrassment. If the US and Colombian government were on the same page, they could have both seen to it that this embarrassing issue was quietly swept under the rug. It wasn't, so I do wonder if it might be a finger in the eye.

 All I've ever heard about the secret service is that the were absolute pros this just doesn't pass the smell test.
Some theories based on my (albeit limited) experience:

The SS are pros.

Which would lead me to believe that, if this story turns out to be true, the problem was with the leadership of the advance team. If the boss was doing it then it doesn't take long for his underlings to follow. It doesn't happen the other way around.

If it turns out that the military people mentioned were also involved then I would further predict that this type of loose disciplinary situation had been going on for quite a while.

The story said that they were all in the same hotel...both the SS advance team and the military people. The only military people who are housed that closely with the SS are the communication group. They work together...all the time...trip after trip. So a break down in discipline in one group could quite easily infect the other group given enough time.

Just my thoughts on the matter. If it's true. Which, sadly, it looks as if at least some of it might be.

Better to have a scandal like this, though, than one that involves a dead protectee.

After all, for the people who were actually involved in using the services of a prostitute and those, if any, involved in covering it up this will be the end of their careers at the Secret Service. They will never be employed by the federal government again. Finding work elsewhere will be difficult.

Isn't this reason for promotion in this administration?

Listening to talk radio today I heard some theories that were at odds with mine. A former uniformed SS member was on the radio saying that he believed (based on the numbers of people involved) they were almost certainly ALL uniformed members rather than actual agents.

This, however, does not agree with the latest info on the SS members claimed to be involved. First there is this:

Quote
Two Secret Service supervisors and three members of the agency's elite Counter-Assault Teams were among the 11 agents sent back from Colombia and placed on administrative leave over allegations that they brought prostitutes to their hotel rooms in Cartagena, law enforcement officials tell NBC News.

...and then this:

Quote
The source said the two of the CAT team members were directly involved in the dispute with one of the prostitutes at the Hotel Caribe that led to the scandal. After bringing back the prostitute to their hotel room, the agents reportedly got into a dispute with one of the women when she complained she hadn’t been paid. The woman then went to the Colombian police -- who reported the matter to the U.S. Embassy.

and finally this:

Quote
Others involved in the incident include three members of the Secret Service Counter-Sniper Team, which is part of the Uniformed Division.

So, by my count that is two supervisors (possibly agents), three counter assault team members and two uniformed members. That's seven out of, well, we really don't know how many at this point. I have been hearing that the number involved may be as high as twenty. Or more. Obviously, this story will need to take a few more days (or weeks) to shake out and get the facts settled. And then again, we may never know the whole truth of the situation given the fact that this is the Secret Service rather than the GSA.

Just watched the Ted Baxter show on FNC. He had Brit Hume on and discussed the SS scandal. Hume steadfastly refused to condemn the SS until the facts are known and condemned Ted Baxter for assuming that every single charge lodged in the media by the press is true. Ted Baxter was absolutely perplexed by Brit Hume stubbornly insisting on sticking to ethical standards.

Ted Baxter went on to question Brit about the Fast & Furious scandal where, again, Hume stuck to a high standard of journalistic ethics and refused to speculate about what has yet to be established via the courts or by sworn congressional testimony.

I think of Brit Hume as the wise father figure in television journalism while Ted Baxter is sort of the irritating and more than a little nutty uncle who talks too much and too loudly at the dinner table about things he clearly has no knowledge of.

This has been one strange, unsettling fustercluck.

My antipathy for Ø'bozo finds its limits when I think of the possibilities for catastrophe as a result of shenanigans like what has been alluded to. Ø'bozo is truly a world-class POS but he is still our nations president and I don't want him going out that way.

I had the opportunity to work with the Secret Service during the clinton years. It was a thrill for me and my family and a reminder of a time that I'll always treasure. They were just like you see depicted in the movies - ultra professional, extremely good at their jobs, without being flashy. Now I know that boys will be boys, but even the little bit that I've read sounds more like a frat party than bad-azz SS guys on assignment.

I remember when the SS rolled into St.Paul when I worked there in the 90's, Bush-I was visiting a magnet school or something.  I didn't get the impression those guys were slacking at all, but that was on duty, not off, so who really knows, but I know nothing untoward ever surfaced from that visit nor has anything unseemly leaked out over the years until this point, so what changed and why in this case I dunno.  But bad apples soiling the whole barrel stinks big time, and the innocents and their families are going to take some pain over this, when it was something that should never had happened.  I have to believe someone in a senior position knew about this, perhaps not detailed specifics, but they sat on it and now it blew up all over the place.  Truly sad.

All the years of no scandal whatsoever -- and don't think for a minute that during Bush's admin. such wouldn't have been broadcast and embellished -- and now, since '06-'08, there have been several?

No; something ain't right.

I'm thinking the same thing. I don't trust a word that comes out of the media. We all know how they will create the story needed by the Left.

I'm asking myself how this helps Obama. Purge? Getting rid of people who might not be on board with his new "protesting within an area deemed secure by the SS is a felony" rule? Opportunity to move long term SS guys out and replace them with loyalists?

Or, just a sex scandal. Idunno. All I know is that it doesn't seem right to me either.

Have the US government provide the agents with prostitutes in the future.  Problem solved.

Heck, it's just Sandra Fluke's demands advanced by one degree.  There's even a precedent of sorts. The British NHS paid for a British teenager, with some sort of medical condition, to travel to Amsterdam for sex with a prostitute. It was argued that sexual gratification is a human right, and you know once liberals declare something a right that means it's now the obligation of someone else to pay for it.

Sure sounds like it's just a sex scandal. What is at issue is how it came about. Was it a breakdown in leadership or was it something more sinister? If we were talking about the old Soviet Union or even the new Russia I might be open to the suggestion that it might have an outside influence as the motivator. But since we are talking about Colombia I am not inclined toward that reason.

I would be leaning toward a leadership problem within the SS at this point. This point being wild speculation with no proof.

Yeah, even my over-sensitive nose has a hard time sensing how professional front-line SS guys can simply be caught with their (cough) pants down and not see such a move coming, but that Jarrett wench is a devious succubus, so anything is possible.  Something doesn't smell right, but I suspect like Trap that a senior agent screwed the pooch on this scandal and failed to nip it and clean house when they had a chance.  I guess we'll find out as this story goes on...

Actually, I am more worried about what those pompous camera-posing jackasses on The Hill are going to do, they better not look to give the Executive any more power or we might just end up having Praetorians loyal only to Duh Wun and not the Constitution!

the "escort" he was with it a vision of an arrogant bully accustomed to
intimidating his way.  The lady was not impressed by his "authority" or his

Confirmed: Secret Service Supervisor Who Oversaw Columbian Hookergate Used His Position to Treat Women as Objects (http://weaselzippers.us/2012/04/19/confirmed-secret-service-supervisor-who-oversaw-columbian-hookergate-used-his-position-to-treat-women-as-objects/)

(WaPo)  (http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2012/04/19/gIQAmIt7TT_print.html)— One of the Secret Service supervisors who was forced out of the agency this week for his involvement in the Colombia prostitution scandal made light of his official protective work on his Facebook page, joking about a picture of himself standing watch behind Sarah Palin.

David Randall Chaney, 48, posted several action shots of himself on duty in a dark suit and sunglasses, including one that shows him behind the former Republican vice presidential nominee during her 2008 campaign.

“I was really checking her out, if you know what i mean?” Chaney wrote in the comments section, after friends had marveled at the photo. He is married and has an adult son.

Chaney, who had been a supervisor in the Secret Service’s international programs division, retired under pressure Wednesday, according to people familiar with an internal agency investigation into the allegations that 11 agents and uniformed officers had participated in a night of carousing April 11 ahead of President Obama’s visit to the Summit of the Americas.

He was one of two senior supervisors who are accused in the scandal, which investigators believe included heavy drinking, visits to a strip club and payments to women working as prostitutes. Several people familiar with the matter have identified the other supervisor as Greg Stokes, who was assistant special agent in charge of the K9 division. Stokes has been notified by agency officials that he will be fired, though he will be given an opportunity to contest the charges, those with knowledge of the case said.

This is a piece from Mark Steyn (who occasionally guest-hosts for Rush). Pretty funny stuff - worth a giggle or three and a good reprieve from all the other crap flying around lately.
 (http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/296640)

Quote
Alas, young Miss Suarez, just 24 and with a nine-year-old son and a ravenous pimp to feed, didn’t care for the cut of her Secret Service man’s jib. He made the fairly basic mistake — for an expensively trained government operative — of attempting to pay a prostitute in the hotel corridor, and Dania caused an altercation whose fallout has brought the Secret Service to its knees. Which isn’t how these encounters usually go.

Quote
On foreign trips, aside from the 40 or so armored limousines, there are usually 200 Secret Service agents plus a couple of dozen sniffer dogs. Did the latter take any Colombian bitches back to their kennels? Or are they just the entrée for Obama’s embassy banquet?

Quote
For all the hooker-cavorting among a bored entourage with time on its hands, there was no one to proofread President Obama’s speech. So he stood up in public and attempted to pander to the Latins by referring to the sovereign British territory of the Falkland Islands by the designation of its temporary Argentine usurpers 30 years ago: “Las Malvinas.” Except that his writers got it wrong. So the president of the United States called it “the Maldives,” an entirely different bit of British Commonwealth real estate half a world away in the Indian Ocean. Were the speechwriting staff also face down in the hooker bar? “Jush a minute, baby. Hic. The preshhhiduh wansh a couple rewrites. ‘I call on London to return British Columbia to Colombia.’ Thash should do it. Lesh go back to my room and I’ll show you my prompter.”

Heh, "Prosticort"!  Good one BAS!   ;D

And the Steyn zingers are awesome!   ::thumbsup::

The latest -

Obama's spokesman has assailed Republican criticism that has attempted to blame a lack of presidential leadership for the scandal and has said Obama would be angry if allegations published so far proved to be true.

Uhh huh, umm, on whose watch did this happen?  If it was Bush the MFM would be getting mileage on this issue through election day, and you know it, ObamaBot!

Grassley, in his letter to Sullivan and the Homeland Security inspector general, Charles Edwards, asked about checks on hotels in Cartagena for White House advance staff members and the White House Communications Agency, which includes military personnel: "Have records for overnight guests for those entities been pulled as part of the investigation? ... If not, why not?"

Additionally, Grassley, top Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, asked whether rooms were shared by Secret Service, the communications agency and the presidential advance staff.



Yeah, well, Ibet The Regime is getting scapegoats lined up and shredding crap as we speak, so, just like every other disaster this outfit creates/encounters, the truth will be casulaty #1.

U.S. insistence that Cuba not participate in the summit prompted Ecuador's president to boycott the session and other Latin American leaders complained that this would be the last Summit of the Americas unless Cuba was allowed to attend in the future. Some leaders cited old grievances against the United States to illustrate their complaints.

To that, Obama chafed.

He said he felt like he was in a "time warp" of "gun-boat diplomacy and yanquis and the Cold War and this and that" dating to a time before he was born.

"That's not the world we live in today," he said.

But still, nothing alledged going on before the Obama Regime.

 ::saywhat::

Grassley thinks agents could have been infiltrated by Russian Swallows.  A possibility, but since Stymie is still breathing and no news about missing secrets, we may never know for sure, but the possibility is very real, and information gleaned could be used later...or sold to someone interested in using it.

Overall, of the 12 Secret Service agents involved in the scandal:

6 have resigned
2 are being fired
3 have been cleared of serious wrongdoing
1 has retired

Maybe.  

I do have a question as a result of one of Palin's former SS detail men recently posting his smut about her on Facebook.  He was assigned to her in 2008.

Then again, what the guys are thinking is different from what they're caught doing.  

I know this much:  if anything at all could have been dug up or manufactured during Bush's terms, it would have been.  It wasn't.  The only item worth noting was the time Bush rescued and pulled in his man during a visit out of the country, when the local authorities wouldn't let him pass.

Who?  Bush?  Mostly, I agree.

There were times when, even as I was as outraged by what he'd done as I've ever been, the next thing he did brought a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes.  Nothing he said ever really did that -- okay, maybe the speech where he announced we were going to A'stan to kick azz -- it was what he did.

Like that scene there.  The President of the United States, on a State visit, backtracked to grab up one of his own.  He didn't send someone else, he did it himself.

Today from Fox EXCLUSIVE: Secret Service director suspected of lying to Congress about prostitution scandal  (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/16/secret-service-director-eyed-probe-over-colombia-scandal/).  Right now, today, this comes out after months of moldering over the facts.  It wasn't a scandal back then and if it becomes a scandal today it's a media scandal.

[blockquote] Investigators with the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General (DHS OIG) have completed their investigative report, which will be referred to the Department of Justice along with a memorandum of activity that lists potential criminal actions. The report indicates Sullivan may have obstructed Congress by lying about the criminal associations of prostitutes involved in the scandal. The report also alleges Sullivan may have manipulated a report requested by the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, the sources said.
...

"One hit was the CIA hit, the prostitute in question was tied to a drug cartel for laundering money," a law enforcement official close to the investigation told FoxNews.com.
...

"Sullivan had direct evidence of the hit," the source said.
