AND IS THERE MORE TO COME?

...An author of a book about the Secret Service said that the scandal is the biggest scandal in Secret Service history. The Secret Service protects presidents, presidential candidates, former presidents and dignitaries visiting from other countries. Mark Sullivan, the director of the Secret Service, said in the 2010 annual report, I am proud and honored to lead this elite team of professionals special agents, uniformed officers, administrative, professional and technical specialists who personify our motto worthy of trust and confidence every day.
..... After Patriot Act was signed into law in 2001, the Secret Service was given the responsibility of investigating electronic crimes. Several of the Secret Services Most Wanted fugitives are accused of identity theft. Other suspects have been arrested for identity theft, among other online crimes.
“Then why are members of the Secret Service not investigating the image presented to the public on April 27, 2011 as Obamas birth certificate which has been declared a forgery by an investigative team from Maricopa County, AZ? Why are they not investigating Obamas use of a social security number from Connecticut when he allegedly was born in Hawaii? The Secret Service has purview over the investigation of forgery and computer fraud.
...”On March 17, 2009, LCDR Walter Francis Fitzpatrick, III accused Obama of having committed treason by allowing U.S. Army troops to deploy and operate on the streets of Samson, AL under the direct supervision of General Martin Dempsey, who is now chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Two days later, Fitzpatrick received a visit from two Secret Service agents..”

One of the courses dealt with patronizing prostitutes and places where they “worked”.
At the end of the courses there was a review of the Federal penalties for the violation of the Federal laws and policies we had just be taught.
The interesting question, IMHO, is: Will the military members of this incident suffer the same penalties as the Secret Service members? Or, will this become an other case of different strokes for different folks?
If citizen 'John the Carpenter' tried all that he'd be looking at life in Marion, IL. -- where even John Gotti had to pay money to the Aryan Brotherhood for protection so 'Holder's People' wouldn't kill him. And it was a handsome sum, $30,000 or $50,000 a month. But the Teflon Don was getting his butt kicked almost from day one by the blacks. In one photo it looked like a truck hit him.
From the article: “How tired do you get? Just imagine sleeping three or four hours a night for a week, an agent says.”
Yes, it’s called law school, medical school, owning your own business, being the parent of an infant...
Even though I posted it for educational purposes, seeing that word printed out has wounded my psyche. I have to seek grief counseling now.
(Although apparently it is true that J. Edgar Hoover ordered his driver to never make any left turns.)
Also I wonder if the real basis of the story was when the car was parked on a tilt in the wrong direction (leaning away from the side to be opened) and the employee couldn't open the door against gravity. Perhaps the driver was then ordered to try to park a flat area (or tilting the other way). You would think that sometimes they need to open doors on both sides of the car.
The doors on the presidential limousine are said to weigh as much as a Boeing 757 cabin door. (Apparently this is 323 pounds). That actually seems light considering what they are probably made of. The windows alone are 5 inches thick.
This isn't a group of rowdy Rambos. High professional, personal, and ethical standards are virtually synonymous with the upper levels of personal protective details in the military, let alone the Secret Service. So many things had to have gone wrong for something like this to happen that it represents a massive failure of leadership at either the senior policy level or mid-level people who enforce policy.
Obviously people who have been in such positions usually don't talk. For notoriously tight-lipped people to be speaking this openly via leaks indicates that a lot of people who still do have ethical standards are extremely upset and have decided to go to the media — Kessler, for example — because the system isn't working.
In the long run, if the system isn't working, that's far worse than learning a few renegades did something very wrong.
Wasn't that the setting for 'Romancing The Stone' great movie! Oh when actors were young(er).
S*** The Doobie Brothers broke up!
