Obama Helped Cover Up Secret Service Prostitution Scandal

Friday, October 10, 2014

Were the Ebola epidemic not the lead story the White House criminals would all be standing tall in front of a grand jury testifying to any one of the impeachable scandals now cascading over Obama; the entire Secret Service detail in question should be immunised, put on the hot seat and compelled to reveal the truth under threat of contempt and imprisonment

The Washington Post has a pretty revealing story today revisiting the 2012 report on the Secret Service prostitution scandal and it shows that Obama pressured investigators to ignore facts, he shielded a guilty White House staffer from prosecution, and he even punished investigators that got too close to the truth by placing them on leave.

Former Secret Service agent David Chaney

You might recall the scandal that erupted before the 2012 election. Members of the secret Service were caught with prostitutes during a presidential visit to Cartagena, Colombia. But it wasn’t just the Secret Service. Three White House staffers were also caught with prostitutes and it was this Obama covered up.

As the investigation continued early in 2012, White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler seems to have run interference shielding White House staffer Jonathan Dach, the son of a prominent Democratic donor, from prosecution because she didn’t want political fallout.

One senior administration official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information, said Ruemmler believed it would be a “real scandal” if she had sent “a team of people to Colombia to investigate a volunteer over something that’s not a criminal act. . . . That would be insane.”

Then Obama started obstructing the investigation itself by forcing delays n the report (so he could get the election over first) and pressuring investigators to ignore the other White House staffers involved in the scandal. When they balked, Obama put the investigators on administrative leave.

But the newspaper found out the facts where the government failed to “find” the truth.

The Post reviewed copies of the hotel logs for Dach’s stay, which showed that a woman was registered to Dach’s room at 12:02 a.m. April 4 and included an attached photocopy of a woman’s ID card. Through his attorney, Dach declined to discuss these details as well.

Obama appears to be unconcerned over growing scandals

Hotel staff members in Cartagena told federal investigators that they had determined Dach was one of three guests at the Hilton who had additional overnight guests registered to their rooms, federal records reviewed by The Post show.

The other two were a military staffer stationed at the White House and another Secret Service agent.

The records reviewed by The Post list three names — one of which is redacted and identified only as a White House travel-team member. Two government officials who have seen an unredacted version separately confirmed that Dach is the travel-team member listed.

Once again we see that Obama is an abject liar and a corrupt mess.
