Yeah, like they were with JFK in Dallas! And Bobby....
Reports of heavy partying by the Secret Service in Dallas the night before JFK was assassinated are still making the rounds!


There was more to it then that. I don't think anyoneone's hands are clean in the JFK assassination including Vice President Johnson.
i doubt it with Johnson but Now Marcello different story.


Not many people could pull back Secret Service and Military protection, it had to come from someone close to the White House and Johnson ALWAYS hated the Kennedy's.

The question is were these people on the clock? Eve people in the secret service have down time. If they were off the clock I dont see the big deal.

It doesn't matter if they were on the clock and actually they are salary employee's representing the United States Government in another country so yes they were.

Also in my job you can get fired for actions you do off the clock and I a just a lowly Loss Prevention Agent and I think a Secret Service detail assigned with protecting the POTUS is under a lot more scrutiny then that.

Just because they can fire you for what you do off the clock doesn't mean I agree with it. I got drunk at a party in Japan and got the same speach. I represent America etc. It was my day off and I Japan getting drunk is kind of what guys do. They other people at the party thought it was great cause I parties like a Japanese person. My company wasn't as happy lol.

Egads! The Secret Service and military personnel involved were performing work pertaining to the security of the President. People performing such work have to avoid any behavior that could be exploited by others seeking to harm the President or the USA.

ITs a big deal IF, you are a 'secret' service employee and you go BRAGGING to strangers about it in a bar.


ITs called 'secret' service for a reason. IT puts peoples lives in jeopardy, as potential assassins dont punch a clock and that position (like an officer) would presume an 'on call' status that would mean they were never 'completely' off the clock.

whoa Had the Secret Service been permitted to have its way, JFK would not have been in an open-top car. Prior to the JFK assassination, there was tension between the Secret Service, which wanted maximum protection of the President, and political operatives who wanted the President to have as much contact with the voting public as possible.

[I am paraphrasing what is said in a History Channel documentary about the Secret Service.]

I wonder if they are some of the same who let 'party crashers' into a presidential function previously,,,,,?

I doubt it. If I recall correctly, it was someone outside of the Secret Service who was responsible for making sure that people attending presidential functions have valid invitations.

Especially in Columbia. They would just love to take an American President out.

The morality of prostitution is not relevant. What is relevant is the potential for someone to exploit the situation in order to harm the President or the USA.

Gee. I didn't know that people in North Carolina felt that way about the USA's President.

If the agents involved lose their jobs, then they could always start a protection agency for the makers of lingerie. They could call their agency Victoria's Secret Service.

No, Federal Agents (Especially one's with access to or who are protecting the President or Vice President) are held to a higher standard then the average law. Foreign intelligence and our enemies are just looking for someone with access like that they can get leverage on for access to harm us or the person they are assigned to protect.
