perverse-incentives alert.
Criminal charges? Trespassing... what else?
They are going to prosecute them? For what? They were the ones who didn’t stop them from just walking in like they owned the place.
These two didn’t do anything criminal except perhaps trespass and even then if it wasn’t correctly posted how can they make that stick?
There’s a lot of CYA and finger pointing going on, don’t take it out on them for YOU letting a couple just walk up and shake Biden’s hand.
” Mackin says there’s less the Secret Service can say as the probe moves closer to a criminal investigation.”
At the rate it moves, yawnnnnnnn, we can expect, yawnnnn, an answer, yawwwwwwnnnnnn.........
Imagine if they were terrorists with a bomb or sumptin.
Let's not jump to any conclusions.
This is about protecting Obama...not those ordinary folks at Fort Hood.
Like the FBI is going to squeal on itself...Whoever is running the FBI should submit their resignation...
Whomever was in charge of security should be facing charges; let these people go on with their socialite life. They should have never reached the White House grounds, this was a breakdown in security.
But no, we’ll prosecute the glamour-seekers to hide the failings of security!
Seems like the people who let them in would be the
ones to go after.
See, even out here in Flyover Country, we are learning Washington speak.
I suspect things will “be cleared up” when their WH source manufactures a backdated invitation.
The low-level USSS guy who let the couple in will get fried, while the rich jerk with trophy wife will get to still be a rich jerk — for a while.
Also, as I noted in another thread, props to the MSM for actually covering this story on Thanksgiving. NBC News at least flogged a camera crew to get Brian Williams’s account of events. OTOH, CBS News, let Katie Couric be MIA, even though she was in a picture with one of the principals.
Would it have helped if they dressed up like pimp and prostitute and had hidden cameras? Were they trying to punk the head nut of ACORN or something?
It would behoove American citizens that are concerned about our country and terrorism to look a little deeper into who Tareq Salahi really is. His father, a Palestinian who came here as a younger man, and who with his Arab Family owns (and Salahi now runs) the Oasis Vineyards near Hume, Virginia.
It would also behoove all concerned Americans to check out the number of causes that Tareq Salahi (and his wife) belong to supporting the Palestinian State for years, even on an official basis via the American Task Force for Palestine or ATFP. There has been some “rumor” that the many “get togethers” of many Arabs (and many who are prominent, and some notorious) at the Oasis Winery over the years are more than “Get togethers for fun and weddings“.
It has been suggested that the Oasis Winery is an ideal location for supporters of terrorism, many of whom are naturalized Arab American Citizens (as in “The Enemy Within” or “Home Grown Terrorism”) who have met there for strategy sessions in the past, and perhaps even now. Hubris is what always brings these people down and I believe the US Secret Service has a big opportunity here and the FBI with Director Mueller as well. Opportunities like this don’t come around very often.
Prosecute them. They will go on TV and become famous no matter what we do. The media has already made them celebrities. Get back some of the money they will make from their crime.
Criminal charges, like exposing government workers as incompetent?
It's GOOD to have a blank checkbook, backed by OUR money.
I would be too embarassed to press charges.
That is complete baloney. Had this been two people who wanted to do some harm they wouldn't need to bring anything in to accomplish it.
From what is known so far, it seems the Secret Service just got a pie SLAMMED right into it’s face...now they’re looking to get even. Big surprise!
