Three Secret Service agents responsible for protecting President Obama in Amsterdam were sent home and put on administrative leave Sunday after going out for a night of drinking, according to three people familiar with the incident. One of the agents was found drunk and passed out in a hotel hallway, the people said, reports WaPo.
Hotel staff alerted the U.S. Embassy in the Netherlands after finding the unconscious agent Sunday morning, a day before Obama arrived in the country, according to two of the people. The embassy then alerted Secret Service managers on the presidential trip, which included Secret Service Director Julia Pierson.
The alleged behavior would violate new Secret Service adopted in the wake of a damaging scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, in April 2012.
Our faithful servants are getting serviced…and it's secret. Your tax dollars at work!
ReplyDeletePut them on double secret probation.
ReplyDeleteThree of our nations’s finest...... oh, wait...... that’s the military..... my bad
ReplyDeleteHmm. Doesn't sound like the Cartagena scandal was all that "damaging" afterall.......
ReplyDeleteCould this be evidence of deep morale problems in the Secret Service? Nah. Why would there be morale problems among people paid to risk their necks to protect a shifty community organizer?
