Secret Service blackmailed sitting congressman

SSAmerica.jpg


We knew this sort of shit was happening. Now we have proof. When congressional hearings started on Secret Service scandals earlier this year, agency employees researched and attempted to blackmail Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), chairman of the House oversight committee, finally releasing an embarrassing job application to lapdogs at The Daily Beast, who dutifully published it like the yellow journalism propaganda tools they are.

    • Truer words were never spoken, FTA:

      And a once proud agency that was the gold standard of integrity in government now has been brought low by thugs, dilettantes, and sybarites...................It's almost beyond belief – except this is Obama's Washington, and we've come to expect the worst from government employees.

  • What's embarrassing for asking for a job and not getting it (for whatever reason). I have applied to hundreds of jobs and hundreds that I didn't get for whatever reason... That is all they could find? And seriously that was supposed to "discredit" him? Please...

    I hope they get more than "disciplined"

  • Don't expect Congress to do anything about it, as usual. They won't do squat even when one of their own are attacked.

  • We need another Joe McCarthy and a return of HUAC, only they need to investigate our own government employees instead of a bunch of Hollyweird loons. This is just one more example of how poor leadership can have a negative effect on an entire administration.

  • In the article their boss said he would address this...Here comes a sternly worded memo again..Hell with today's secret service, you can get drunk, run a government car into a pole at the White House and all you get is a letter of correction...What a fine organization they have become. And if think Jeh Johnson is gonna do anything, you might want to buy the bridge I have for sale on Interstate 80 in Kalifornia. Real nice bridge only 500 bucks...

    The Secret Service...or as Barack calls them, the "SS"....similar to and acting just like the ones in the 1930's and 1940's in Europe....

  • Someone should sit these boys down and gently explain that when you start out to kill the king, you MUST make sure you kill him or you are in a world of shiite.

    • If the congressman has any balls, he should spend the rest of his term making life as miserable as he can for the Secret Service. A lesson needs to be learned, an institutional lesson. And perhaps a few of the other institutions will learn it too.

  • Who will rid me of this troublesome priest? Gee, Ed Lowery, you really didn't want anyone to release information about Chaffetz?

  • This government is not yet as corrupt as it can get. To the contrary, I believe by the time Obama and his leftist hacks leave the WH/Administration, today's level of corruption seem like jaywalking by comparison.

    However the stink of corruption is nearly overwhelming.

    • It's not surprising, all the alphabet soup agencies have gotten completely out of control under King Barky. It doesn't matter if he condones this, encourages this, or simply ignores this. The result is the same.
