He-he Glebo, one nice summer day many years ago I pulled into Nuremburg on a bus and they were all sitting on the second floor windowsills.
What memories...

I am sure someone went over the line, but IMHO it looks more like a witch hunt than a real problem.

When I did my poly with USSS, the examiner kept coming back to what I "saw" in Germany, as opposed to what I "did" in Germany. I really pissed him off, as it's supposed to be "yes" and "no" answers, but I thought he was trying to create an exception to my exam, which would cause some administrative action later.
Understanding full well I was under the jurisdiction of US law while stationed in FRG, I didn't have a problem with what another nation considers legal or not. We were guests in FRG and followed our laws, so it should not matter.
Needless to say, I don't work in that operation and feel much better for it. I believe the mission there was to create something for potential future use. Sort of like all the data mining being done by No Such Agency for future crimes.

WH Delays Secret Service Report
ETA: So the guy (Jonathan Dach), who is believed to have been the one ordering up the call girl and having her brought to his room, is now a policy adviser in the Office on Global Women’s Issues at the State Department. Several SS agents lost their jobs, but the WH staffer who happens to be the son of a well-connected donor/lobbyist is simply reassigned. You can't make this up.
From this article:
Quote:
According to The Washington Post, David Nieland also said that he was instructed by his superiors in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) inspector general's office to "withhold and alter certain information in the report of investigation because it was potentially embarrassing to the administration." He likely gave the account to aides on the Senate homeland security committee, which had looked into the case.
The Post also reported that senior White House aides were given information suggesting that a prostitute had stayed in the hotel room of a member of the White House's advance team, contrary to earlier denials that any member of the administration was involved. The White House advance team member was identified as Jonathan Dach, then a 25-year-old Yale Law School student and volunteer who helped to coordinate drivers for the White House travel office.

From the Washington Post:
Quote:
The lead investigator later told Senate staffers that he felt pressure from his superiors in the office of Charles K. Edwards, who was then the acting inspector general, to withhold evidence — and that, in the heat of an election year, decisions were being made with political considerations in mind.
“We were directed at the time . . . to delay the report of the investigation until after the 2012 election,” David Nieland, the lead investigator on the Colombia case for the DHS inspector general’s office, told Senate staffers, according to three people with knowledge of his statement.
Nieland added that his superiors told him “to withhold and alter certain information in the report of investigation because it was potentially embarrassing to the administration.”

Quote:
Dach this year started working full time in the Obama administration on a federal contract as a policy adviser in the Office on Global Women’s Issues at the State Department. Dach’s father, Leslie Dach, is a prominent Democratic donor who gave $23,900 to the party in 2008 to help elect Obama. In his previous job as a top lobbyist for Wal-Mart, he partnered with the White House on high-profile projects, including Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign.
He, too, joined the Obama administration this year. In July, he was named a senior counselor with the Department of Health and Human Services, where part of his responsibilities include handling the next phase of the Affordable Care Act.

Within the inspector general’s office, investigators and their bosses fought heatedly with each other over whether to pursue White House team members’ possible involvement. Office staffers who raised questions about a White House role said they were put on administrative leave as a punishment for doing so. Later, Edwards, the acting inspector general, resigned amid allegations of misconduct stemming in part from the dispute.

Same old story...
't ain't the deed but the coverup.
Errata: - Add to list of do-nothing investigative sub-committees.
- I want this guy PowerPointed non-stop for 30 days, 24x7, with really horrible old-school SAEDA briefing background music.
Edited to add - One of the online FNC commenters had an idea: Do we have enough scandals yet to make a deck of cards?
