Columbian Prostitution Scandal

Somehow I knew Bill would resurface.

LMFAO that's funny Dave

Good one Dave.

I can't believe a Secret Service agent was so fucking stoopid. We pay them to go away, right? Had he simply paid that 'ho the $47 donation, this shit would have never hit the fan.

All this trouble over 47$ lmao soooooo stupid

Escort Recounts Quarrel With Secret Service Agent By WILLIAM NEUMAN

CARTAGENA, Colombia — A Secret Service agent preparing for President Obama’s arrival at an international summit meeting and a single mother from Colombia who makes a living as a high-priced escort faced off in a room at the Hotel Caribe a week ago over how much he owed her for the previous night’s intercourse. “I tell him, ‘Baby, my cash money,’ ” the woman said in her first public comments on a spat that would soon spiral into a full-blown scandal. The dispute was that he offered $30 for services she thought they had agreed were worth 25 times that . . .



She threatened to call the police, but the man’s friend begged her not to, saying they did not want trouble. Finally, she said, she left to go home but came across a policeman who was stationed in the hallway and called in an English-speaking colleague.

He accompanied her back to the room and the dispute escalated. Two other Americans from the club emerged from their rooms and stood guard in front of their friend’s locked door. The two Colombian officers tried to argue the woman’s case.

A hotel security officer arrived. Eventually, she lowered her demand to $250, which she said was the amount she has to pay the man who helps find her customers. Eager to resolve the matter fast, the American men eventually gave her a combination of dollars and local currency worth about $225, and she left. . . .

3 Secret Service members to leave agency amid scandal

By the CNN Wire Staff
updated 6:34 PM EDT, Wed April 18, 2012

Washington (CNN) -- Three U.S. Secret Service members have left or are being pushed out of the agency following a prostitution scandal that erupted in Colombia ahead of a visit by President Barack Obama, the agency said in a statement Wednesday.

The agency reported that one supervisory employee was allowed to retire, another supervisory employee was proposed to be removed "for cause," while a third has resigned.

. . . . Days after the Secret Service personnel were placed on administrative leave, investigators are now also looking into whether drugs were involved, according to a separate source with knowledge of the probe.

Secret Service Director Mark Sullivan has told subordinates to use "all tools available" to conduct the investigation, and has made it known that he believes drug testing is within his rights, the source said.

It is not clear if any of those accused have been tested, and authorities say drug use is not consistent with their findings so far, though they are continuing to investigate . . . allegations alongside local police. . . .

Whistleblower Alleges Top U.S. Official Got Blowjob On Roof Of Baghdad Embassy

State Department gadfly Peter Van Buren drops a bombshell on his blog. He claims there's a sex tape.

posted Apr 18, 2012 11:11am EDT

Peter Van Buren, a foreign service officer who served in Iraq made the claim on his personal blog today in the course of alleging American officials' debauchery in Iraq and Afghanistan, and publishing a series of embarrassing photographs of U.S. diplomats.

Van Buren writes:
“Meanwhile, a State Department VIP apparently has had sex on an Embassy roof, captured on video, not that that matters.”
Then later in the blog:
"What if a video existed that showed a prominent State Department VIP on the roof of the Republican Palace in Baghdad receiving, um, pleasure of an oral nature from another State Department officer not his wife, or even his journalist mistress of the time? What if that video has been passed around among Marine Security Guards at the Embassy to the point where it is considered “viral” with many copies made? What if the Deputy Chief of Mission, hand in hand with the Diplomatic Security chief (RSO) at the time, decided that the whole thing needed to be swept under the rug and made to go away, at least until some blogger got a hold of it.
Would that count as poor judgement? What if it was published during his oft-delayed Congressional hearings?"http://www.buzzfeed.com/mhastings/whistleblower-alleges-top-us-official-got-blowjo

GSA, the Secret Service, the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corp; now the State Department. This could be an interesting election-year spring and summer.

By 6:30 the next morning, after being awoken by a telephone call from the hotel front desk reminding her that, under the hotel's rules for prostitutes, she had to leave

My mother always said never trust a Secret Service agent who can't get secretly serviced.

An Air Force colonel and a military lawyer were also dispatched to Colombia this week. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, patronizing prostitutes is a crime for military personnel. It is referred to as "compelling, inducing, enticing or procuring a person to have sex in exchange for money; or receiving money for arranged sex."

Officials from U.S. Southern Command, which organized the military role for the security operation, have not provided details of its probe beyond saying that at least some of the military members violated curfew and may have been involved in "inappropriate conduct."
