    Maybe we should train agents not to talk about their job during pillow talk…

    Technically it wasn’t illegal what they did, prostitution is legal there.
    Basically what the U.S Government is saying that it was “moral misconduct.”

    It is basically Uncle Sam playing moral police.

    The only thing that could get them in trouble is if they told the hookers things they weren’t supposed to regarding the president’s security. Or if any classified material was present in the room.

    If they didn’t say anything, or if no classified material was present, then it was not a big deal.

    The tricky part is though, that stupid rules like this make the agents vulnerable to blackmailing in the first place. It is a simple math equation: The dudes who are man enough to jump in front of the President to catch a bullet need to blow off some steam sexually every once in a while. It’s the same reason why so many professional athletes have gazillions of affairs and scandals. Let them fuck whoever they want, so they don’t have to worry about this part of the code and they can do their job.

    The main stream media porclaims ‘This scandal may over shadow the Preseidents visit’, then proceed to give scandal heavy coverage!
    Media has a hugh influence on public perception.

    Legal in Colombia, but a violation of Secret Service rules.

    If I were one of the Secret Service guys that partook in that, I would really be afraid of getting in trouble with President Obama, as if that’s my dad or something lol.

  10. hofifut says:

    This shows Cenk and Ana’s bias, ignorance and stupidity in an attempt to burnish their “progressive” narrative. First, Issa didn’t badmouth the Pres at all. Secondly, Secret Service (not to mention regular police) are held to a different standard than others. Meaning, in job descriptions, their conduct even outside of work, is grounds for reprissal. Lastly, they WERE on the job.
    The worst is TYT’s oft used phrase @ 4:50 “who cares, who cares”. Repetition by Ana for emphasis. Embarrasing…

    how can you laugh at them using taxpayer money to buy whores and then one dude doesnt even pay, and thats where the problem came about…..how is that laughable

  12. Dinah4life says:

    And under Obama’s watch… If he can’t even keep his Secret Service detail in line then how can we trust him with national security and the economy. This kind of thing never happened under Bush’s watch and it wouldn’t have happened if McCain had won and it won’t happen when Romney is president.

  13. Dinah4life says:

    The Vietcong used hookers to spread STDs among troops and steal intel from officers.

  14. whateverman181 says:

    Even though the actions of the Secret Service were legal, they do have their own rules to abide by. If they did something to violate those rules then yes they should be let go. Outside of that this whole affair has been blown way out of proportion and Republicans are manipulating it because it’s an irrelevant sex scandal that occurred during Obama’s administration, but this activity occurred during the Bush administration as well and other administrations. So the hypocrisy is mind boggling.

    its like fucking Troll-Ception!

  16. TJETROCKET says:

    President Obama has now played a total of 1,710 holes since taking office.
    Vote Romney 2012

  17. waltermh111 says:

    As much as I think that prostitution should be legal, not only might this be a dereliction of duty, breakage of rules, but also I believe americans have to follow american law even overseas.

    So sure, people go to amsterdam and smoke and dont get caught, but if you are caught somehow breaking an american law overseas, you still get in trouble.
    Thats my understanding.

    It moreso affects gov officials who have people watching over them overseas.

  18. typecastyourself says:

    That was a good discussion.

  19. doradalex says:

    I regret to say, but this is sent to pick up that stupid display which gave this shameful trash media, most important was not the summit of the Americas? that cloud which tended to neutralize this event.

  20. MrNickWright says:

    Obama looked like a teacher disappointed in his class during a field trip.

  21. jwalker477 says:

    I want to engage in coital activity with Ana.

  22. scarabmango says:

    That’s bullshit, and completely undermines the notion of sovereignty. People should follow the laws within the BORDERS of the country they are STANDING IN at the time. You are an idiot, I hate you, and I would kill you if I saw you in person.

  23. waltermh111 says:

    calm down, I wasnt being foul, so no need to be rude back.

    I had a misunderstanding which I thought about afterword.

    I really hope your not like this in person The internet brings out the worst in people just because they dont have to back up what they say 🙁

    Sometimes I feel like I am the last civil person online.

  24. scarabmango says:

    Back up what I say? I kill people all the time, and on the Pentagon’s payroll! Where do you live, so I can kill you too!!!

  25. GabrielSerrano505 says:

    That’s why Obama needs to fire those Secret Service agents. We could of endangered national security over this.
