Now WH (staff) is under suspicion -- Questions over whether agents slept with underage girls
ukmail ^ | 4.20.12

The prostitution scandal which has devastated the Secret Service could be set to spread to the White House. A senior Republican has urged the investigation into what happened in Colombia ahead of Barack Obama's trip there to extend to presidential staff who were preparing for his visit. Senator Charles Grassley's comments came on the day that three more Secret Service agents who had been sent home over the incident resigned from the agency. Also on Friday, Mr Obama received a personal briefing on the state of the investigation from Mark Sullivan, director of the Secret Service. -------- Mr Sullivan visited the White House late on Friday to brief Mr Obama in the Oval Office. The U.S. agents and military personnel involved could face criminal charges if is proven that they had sex with girls under the age of 18. When Darrell Issa, the Republican chairman of the House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, was asked if any of the men had done so, he said neither he nor Mr Sullivan could be certain. ‘In the case of the 11 agents, the primary determination is you can’t determine to charge or not charge somebody until you know whether a crime is committed,’ he said, according to The Daily Beast.

The latter.
Just another Trayvon to deflect attention from the utter destruction of our economy/constitution/future.

Untrue statement?:

‘In the case of the 11 agents, the primary determination is you can’t determine to charge or not charge somebody until you know whether a crime is committed,’

Anyone can be investigated by the D.A. or indicted upon reasonable cause/preliminary findings of evidence/suspicion of a crime being committed; can also charge upon suspicion of conspiracy to commit a crime.

I don't think so. Most people have only a rudimentary understanding of the economy and Constitution, but everybody understands the term "underage girls"

Are you saying the agents didn't hire hookers?

How could a government employee do this? It’s not like we’ve had a Democrat President doing the nasty with interns in the White House.

I always thought that when the mask is ripped away—Obama will have the most corrupt administration in US History. This guy will make US Grants term in office look clean. I still say they will come a time when Obama will be the most hated man in America.

“I still say they will come a time when Obama will be the most hated man in America.”

But not the AA’s, they will all be crying racism, but they will be crying about their “beloved” Barak!

Maybe they did, maybe they didn't.
But the entire scenario is unarguably providing some great covering fire for the usurper's daily treasons.

Actually, what I'll be inclined to believe happened will depend on what we learn re the particular SS guys involved.
Are they still of the same group of squared away professionals of yore we've always heard about ?
Or are they of the same thuggish ilk of most of the maggØt's other hires since '08 ?

If Obama came from a broken family, where reports he was sodomized by family acquaintances as a young minor, and being raised in an Islamic culture which didn’t challenge adult sex with minors, what are the psychological profiles for that type of personality to become a child molester in their adult years?

If such a person gained significant authority, then committed such felonious acts, how would his handlers, who also seek power, handle the situation with those tasked to watch that person’s every move?

It is almost as if there is a trend, amongst Democratic leaders facing similar scenarios. It’s almost as if both situations have a common person highly placed on the sidelines who has motive to advance to the same position of authority.

As the leftist media puppets always intone:

The Eighth Law of Liberalism:

The “seriousness of the charge” is more important than the truthfulness of the charge.

Mr Obama received a personal briefing on the state of the investigation, in video format, from Mark Sullivan, director of the Secret Service.
