Discussion: Report: Secret Service Agent Provided Details Of Obama Movement

Discussion for article #228369

If this is true, it must be cracked down on hard, even to criminal prosecution if possible.
This would be a very serious violation of trust, maybe even a breach of classified info.

With Secret Service agents like this we might as well have Wackenhut Security Services guarding the President. Never mind, the Republicans would just love to privatize one more thing.

Serious breach of trust and security.

This news, if true, should put several SS employees, and dozens of former Romney campaign staffers in prison for a very long long time.

Yeah - in a perfect world

Who is the guy in the photo? Why would TPM use this photo?

Inside Sources is just another rw hack.

Shame on the “Romney camp” for not turning the asshole in. The secret Service has made a mockery of the incredibly important duties it is charged with. I’m sure there are some very dedicated professionals in that organization. The ones who are on a totally excellent adventure must be banished to the unemployment line.

It’s beginning to seem as though we’d be better off with O’Reilly’s 25,000 mercenaries taking over Secret Service duties.

Are we hiring 14 year olds to be Secret Service agents now?

And Mittens and his campaign staff, all being such patriots and concerned for the safety of the POTUS, a fellow human being, immediately reported the breach…not…

I just want to get this straight. The only source for this story is a couple of unnamed sources who spoke only to a hitherto unknown website with mysterious backers and zero track record of performing any sort of activity which would be recognized by the average joe to be actual journalism /reporting, and which happens to be run by a former GOP operative.

If true, it’s seriously concerning, but I’ll save my indignation for the time when this rumor is independently verified by a credible organization.

They must have been hoping for something like Reagan’s illegal Iran back channel and National Security Council penetration during the 1980 election…

Or perhaps with George Zimmerman patrolling the grounds.

And here I thought Romney lost that election??

I agree. I don’t know how you could put the Romney staffers in jail, but, they didn’t report the breach in security? That’s pretty fucking low.

No, we’re hiring MEN.

Men, who no matter what their jobs or responsibilities, are always wanting a “little” on the side, and willing to do just about anything to get it.

Men, the male sex, which is proving itself unqualified for positions of trust or discretion or power.

Sorry to insult any man not susceptible to being controlled by his naughty bits, but the fact of the percentage of men who are at some point has to be honestly and directly faced.

They need to clean this department up fast.
