Two Secret Service agents cut from Obama’s detail after alleged misconduct
Source: Washington Post
A call from the Hay-Adams hotel this past spring reporting that a Secret Service agent was trying to force his way into a womans room set in motion an internal investigation that has sent tremors through an agency still trying to restore its elite reputation.
The incident came a year after the agency was roiled by a prostitution scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, prompting vows from senior officials to curb a male-dominated culture of hard partying and other excesses.
... The disruption at the Hay-Adams in May involved Ignacio Zamora Jr., a senior supervisor who oversaw about two dozen agents in the Secret Services most elite assignment the presidents security detail. Zamora was allegedly discovered attempting to reenter a womans room after accidentally leaving behind a bullet from his service weapon. The incident has not been previously reported.
In a follow-up investigation, agency officials also found that Zamora and another supervisor, Timothy Barraclough, had sent sexually suggestive e-mails to a female subordinate, according to those with knowledge of the case. Officials have removed Zamora from his position and moved Barraclough off the detail to a separate part of the division, people familiar with the case said.

(57,055 posts)New JFK documentary alleges there WAS a second shooter in the assassination... and he was a Secret Service agent who shot the president by ACCIDENT
Film alleges that Agent George Hickey accidentally shot Kennedy in the head
It is based on the work of veteran Australian police detective who has spent four years investigating the assassination
The government then covered up the Secret Service role, it is claimed, to save the agency from embarrassment

(57,055 posts)so many other participants to hold their silence and hide their trails. Its the first alternative that seems plausible to me.
But how that never made it on any of all the cameras pointed from all all over Dealy Plaza is a problem.

The Secret Service is a lot dirtier organization than people would even imagine.

(30,247 posts)Were any SS women caught in a sex scandal? Look at politicians, how many of them have misbehaved? Some have survived the subsequent scandal and some have not, but can you imagine a Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Angela Merkel or any other high caliber woman risking everything over a fling? At the moment I can't even think of one.

(30,247 posts)I knew girls in college that had more than one boyfriend and the guys never figured it out. I still think, though, that most high powered women would not risk losing something they worked so hard to achieve over a brief fling. There's still a double standard and they know that they would have to pay a high price if caught.
