Congress to probe Secret Service prostitution scandal

Post by Flesh Thorn »

Members of Congress are swooping in to investigate the prostitution scandal involving a Secret Service unit assigned to Colombia in advance of President Obama's visit, as the internal probe broadens and the incident casts a shadow over the president's Latin American trip.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told Fox News that he's directed his staff to launch an "immediate investigation" -- he said his panel will likely hold a hearing on the incident.
"They leave themselves open to threats, to blackmail," King said Sunday of the agents.

Something is not right here.
So, let me get this straight... THE Secret Service, that has never had any hint of scandal, has all of a sudden had not one, or two, but eleven agents, who are married, all of a sudden want to get prostitutes...

but wait for it...

and instead of paying the prostitute $42, the Secret Service agent instead wants to argue with her all night long, and into the morning... just in time for the early morning hotel people to complain about the noise and send in the cops.

Then, on top of that, it also involves Air Force personel, for a total of 16 people wrapped up in a Columbian prostitute thing.

It doesn't sound right.

Nothing in this administration sounds right.

Who would want to get rid of the Secret Service agents?

Don't forget now, this is a decidedly left-wing Secret Service we're talking about here. All the "prostitutes" were probably 10 year-old boys.

I could see maybe one agent doing something stupid and it being an isolated incident, but 12 of them ? If it tuns out to all be true then Obama will be "Angry ".

You mean, someone might have actually set them up and FRAMED them?

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked, that you would even think that this administration is capable of doing such a dastardly deed! :roll:

What if it was the president himself who ordered the Secret Service to round up 12 hoes for his visit to crackland?

Considering Hillary's partying down in Colombia, what if things have just gotten blown out of proportion for someone's political gain ?

I think the agent that argued with the whore over the price should be in Congress- at least he's looking out for the taxpayer's dollar (unlike the elected whores in DC.)
