US Secret Service prostitution scandal widens as five more service members arrested

FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda

The incident at the Hotel Caribe after a drunken night out that breached
curfew rules occurred before Mr Obama landed in Colombia on Friday and did
not involve any members of his personal protection squad.

However Mr King said it had still raised serious security concerns.

“If all this happened, this compromised the agents themselves,” Mr
King added. “It left [the agents] open to be threatened and blackmailed
in the future. … Secondly, to bring prostitutes in an area that’s a
secured zone – it just violates a basic code of conduct.”

As well as raising questions about security, the incident has heaped
diplomatic embarrassment on the US, threatening to overshadow Mr Obama’s
already troubled agenda at the Summit of the Americas which has been
undermined by a boycott from leftist leaders, including the anti-US
president of Venezuela, Hugo Chavez.

“I had a breakfast meeting to discuss trade and drugs, but the only thing
the other delegates wanted to talk about was the story of the agents and the
hookers,” one Latin American diplomat in the historic city of Cartagena
told Reuters.

Jay Carney, the White House spokesman, said Mr Obama had been informed of the
incident, but refused to divulge the president’s reaction, except to say
that the Mr Obama had “full confidence” in the Secret Service’s
ability to protect him.

Mr Carney tried to dismiss the furore surrounding the allegations as a
distraction more for the titillating media than the president, however Paul
Morrissey, an assistant director at the Secret Service issued a statement
expressing “regret” for any distraction caused.

Another Republican congressman predicted that the scandal could widen further,
suggesting that the current investigation was possibly just the tip of the
iceberg.

“The investigation will not be about the 11 to 20 or more involved, it will be
about how has this happened, and how often has this happened before,”
Darrell Issa, a member of Congress’s Oversight Committee told CBS News.

“Things like this don’t happen once.”

He also raised the spectre that if prostitute use was widespread among Secret
Service agents, then previous unreported encounters could have left serving
agents open to blackmail, endangering the lives of the politicians,
including the president, they were paid to protect.

“In this particular case, the president may not have been in danger. But
that begs the question – what happens if somebody six months ago six years
ago became the victim of their own misconduct and is now being blackmailed?”
he said.

“The question is, is the whole organisation in need of some soul searching,
some changes before the president, the vice president, members of the
Cabinet are in danger?”
