Secret Service agents busted because they refused to pay hooker: source

The dozen Secret Service agents sent home after a prostitution scandal in Colombia were busted after at least one of them refused to pay a hooker, sources said.

The scandal — a black eye for the United States’ reputation abroad — was revealed Friday before President Obama arrived in Cartagena for the Summit of the Americas.

The 12 agents were part of an advance team meant to secure a local hotel before the summit began — yet their attention apparently turned to taking advantage of Colombia’s policy of legal prostitution.

“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.”

[snip] Prostitution is legal in Colombia, as long as it is conducted in so-called “tolerance zones.”

"Total jerks. Now most if not all will lose their jobs because of this, the federal employee benes, and the high security clearance that goes with the job"

I just don't believe that line of thinking. Something is wrong with that scenario and I have no clue what.
I could see 2, maybe 3-4, but not 12 all agreeing to something they knew was wrong.

They don’t keep it Secret if you don’t pay for the Service.

It might have been a language problem because the Secret Service agent didn’t understand when the hooker said: “Debe pagar cientos dolares por la shtoop.”

Why is the Obama Admin making a media circus of this. They should be discreet. It is foolish for them to make enemies of the SS.

Ever hear of the "Night of the Long Knives"?

The prostitutes in Colombia are so inexpensive, if 12 were ordered and only 11 SS wanted to partake then one of the 11 would have stepped up to the plate and purchased two. I believe they call that a 3some.

LOL! Knowing they're gringos, I promise you they aren't getting the discounted rate.

It’s probably either loyalty or cowardice. Like the “thin blue line,” where cops stick together no matter what? Or it could be that 3-4 were actually involved, but the entire team got sent back for details to be sorted out. The US just wanted them out of there, period. What follows is internal. At a minimum, I’d expect hose involved, any others who knew what was going on, and the top guy to suffer the consequences.

Something wrong with this picture. Administrations come and go but ss remains a pretty no nonsense group. This came from higher up the food chain and I hope the guilty get their due.

I'm with you...I was DoS DSS...no way anyone in the service does this...I know/knew too many of them.

This has purposeful discredit written all over it, and I felt it up the back of my nape when the story came out.
