Is Anyone Really Surprised?
Remember the 2012 Secret Service prostitution incident in Columbia? You know, that incident where of Secret Service personnel were later fired (or otherwise disciplined) for cavorting with prostitutes or related bad behavior?
Remember that the White House at the time flatly and repeatedly denied any White House involvement?
Do I really need to spell it out? Turns out that senior White House aides were indeed apparently aware of the matter early on. And there are indications that a volunteer (but politically well-connected) member of the White House advance party may have indeed been involved.
The Secret Service informed the White House Counsel at the time, Katherine Ruemmler, and other Presidential aides of what had happened. Informed, as in provided them firsthand accounts and information from hotel records concerning what had happened and who appeared to be involved. She and other White House staff “conducted an internal review that did not identify any inappropriate behavior on the part of the White House advance team”.
Interesting. Then why did the DHS IG investigators working the case apparently come to a different conclusion? And why did the lead DHS IG investigator assigned to investigate the incident, David Nieland, say he was directed by more senior DHS IG officials to delay the report of his investigation until after the 2012 Presidential election? Ya know, for some reason I just don’t think that delay was ordered to ensure a more comprehensive, better investigation.
Oh, and Nieland also says that he was directed
“to withhold and alter certain information in the report of investigation because it was potentially embarrassing to the administration.”
Curiously enough, it appears that the IG investigators believed that there was indeed possible involvement by at least one White House aide – but when they raised questions concerning this, they were put on administrative leave in apparent retaliation for doing so. It’s also curious that the DHS Acting Inspector General, Charles K. Edwards, later “resigned amid allegations of misconduct stemming in part from the dispute”.
The Washington Post has a damn good and longish article on this cover-up today. It’s definitely worth reading to see the details.
For some reason reading that article makes me think of a puddle of dirty Water by the Gate. But maybe that’s just me.
Bottom line: it sure looks like this DC Clown Krewe Administration has been p!ssing on our leg and telling us it’s raining – yet again. So what else is new?
Category: "The Floggings Will Continue Until Morale Improves", WTF?
A dollar short and two years late….
The world is spinning too fast for the Golfer in Mom Jeans. I can easily see him in a corner of the White House curled up in the fetal position with a thumb in his lying yap, alternating between sobbing and mumbling incoherently. The world is too much for him–the lying, drug-using, gonna transform America, rat bastard community organizer.
This
It really, really, really, I mean, totally really, pisses me off when peeps fall in line with the “Obama is just plain ol’ stupid” line of excuse when the fact is that Obama is doing exactly what he was hired to do. And that to do list includes every possible thing that can be done to harm the US, at home and abroad, that he and his commiescum clique can get away with.
He and his ain’t fucking up. They’re doing this shit on purpose.
In this particular instance, it may have been desirable for the WH drone to not have screwed the pooch, but when a regime selects expressly and explicitly for commiescum fucksticks, you’re gonna get a degenerate in the mix way more often than not. That’s understood by the regime and covered easily with the help of fellow travelers in the msm.
This regime isn’t incompetent. It’s hostile.
Lets start counting up the bad news that was hidden from the American public prior to the election….Benghazi and now the Whore Scandal immediately come to mind and I really don’t feel the need to dig any deeper. That would have been enough. This shit is CRIMINAL CONDUCT and the press and the administration have been in collusion to cover this shit up. Sickening.
This is my “I’m shocked!” look.
No, really.
I just came to say that. Really
😐
At this point, Fartbongo could be openly buttfucking a goat on the White House lawn, while smoking crack and punching a baby in the face and everyone would just *yawn*.
I’m really beginning to think this guy could be the anti-christ Nostradamus predicted.
Shocking!!!! My shocked look looks much like the shocked look that you are all shockingly displaying. Must be a conspiracy!!!! Shocking!!!
Is Anyone Really Surprised? Hondo, this reminds me of something else. I wonder how many clocks and wrist watches are in the White House at any given time? I can hear Obama, looking at all that is going wrong in the world and in our country and asking, “Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? Does anybody really care?” Obama doesn’t know and doesn’t care. Neither does his DC side show. Apologies to Robert Lamm.
Somewhere Dan Brown is smiling.
So, for who was the whore for?
… I really wouldn’t be surprised if it was for the President. I really, *really* wouldn’t be surprised at all.
TLTL…A Pres Nixon, Bush, Romney would have gotten full court pressed around the clock.
“This is the most transparent administration in history,” Obama said…
Most transparently crooked perhaps. And the media has helped to cover it all up and Congress refuses to push the issue. This nation has become exactly what the Founding Fathers feared, a nation with a too strong centralized government ruled by a political class.
