The latest scandal at the US Secret Service goes beyond alcohol binges and unpaid prostitutes, and directly into the realm of the abuse of power.
The SS probably already knows how much the NSA is watching everybody so they reasoned that there was nothing wrong with doing this to only one person.
Our Government is out of control and drunk with power that it believes has no check and balance, let alone any sort of accountability to We the People.
The cost of this US Royal Court is huge.
Government workers complain they don’t make enough money, and they could make so much more in the private sector, so their attitude seems to be, “OK, I’ll stay. But I’m treating the dept./agency like my private business.”
Not just this SS appointee, but Lois Lerner and all the other Democrat hacks who think they have carte blanche (like their Boss) with public moneys.
At this point what difference does it make?
First time in my life I’m ashamed of my country.
Sullivan ordered agents assigned to a presidential detail to shift their attention to surveillance of the neighbor. The neighbor, a 22-year employee of the FBI, tells the Washington Post that she knew she was being watched, but couldn’t believe it when told who was watching her and her family in the rural area of La Plata, Maryland:
“Their spokesperson says that the Prowler unit doesn’t work in “protective services,” which may be true in the most literal sense “
kind of reminds me of the scene in “kill bill”, when Michael madsen tells his boss its ok to be late because as a bouncer, there was no one there to bounce. his boss says, “what are you trying to tell me, that you’re not doing the job i’m paying you to do because you don’t have a job?”.
so, if those secret service agents are not protecting anyone, then why are they there?

Check out # 6, ... keeping in mind the previous ping.
Thanks, Jet Jaguar.

Mark Sullivan served under Obama and could have only have been appointed if he were corrupt.
“Government workers complain they don’t make enough money, and they could make so much more in the private sector...”
I say to that; “Then go get a real job and in the meantime, shut up and do your job.”
I wonder if a President Walker would have the sac to decertify all government unions. I can dream.
Who is your pick, Illinois?
Ted Cruz.
“The new assignment, known internally as Operation Moonlight, diverted agents to a rural area outside the southern Maryland town of La Plata, nearly an hour’s drive from Washington. Agents were told that then-Director Mark Sullivan was concerned that his assistant was being harassed by her neighbor, the three people said.
Two agents were sent twice a day, in the morning and the evening, to monitor the home of the assistant, Lisa Chopey. The trips began June 30, 2011, and extended through the summer before tapering off in August, according to people familiar with internal shift records.”

“Even worse, the Inspector General of Homeland Security apparently knew of this abuse of power and did nothing about it:
Some reported the operation to the inspector general for the Department of Homeland Security, the Secret Service’s parent agency. People familiar with the operation said a Senate committee’s recent finding that the former DHS inspector general softened and delayed investigations — particularly those critical of administration officials — renewed frustration that the issue may have not been properly investigated.”

On a side note, watching a dog shxt would be better than looking after numb nuts.
It must be demoralizing for the Secret Service that their primary job is protecting America’s most dangerous enemy in all history. I’m not surprised that the corruption at the top has led to abuses in the Secret Service.

Soooo it appears that 0 is using the SS to intimidate the FBI ???
Who’s screwing whom?
