On the one hand, clearly private information is private, and the agents will have to pay the price.
On the other hand, given the context, I’m sure that whatever the “embarrassing” information is, it’s something which would expose Chaffetz as a hypocrite when he was railing against that drunken debauchery…
And hypocrites are disgusting. If you’re planning to be the moral high-ground, you should really have your own stuff in order first.
All is fair in Republican style DC politics…the secret service should have exposed this scum bag. Karl Rove is wondering what is wrong with them…Rove plays politics as a contact sport with the gloves off! Nail the Republican bugger.
There is no question about his reputation being fair game. The question is, who has a hunting license? The Secret Service does not and should not have a license, especially on the basis of an application for employment that has confidentiality requirements attached.
To say otherwise is to say that J. Edgar Hoover (may that closet-queen rot in hell forever) was justified in collecting his blackmail file and using it to advance his personal political agenda.
