Comments on: Secret Service agent assigned to Obama kills himself over affair http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/45564 The oldest political news site on the Internet Wed, 22 May 2013 14:55:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jon http://www.capitolhillblue.com/node/45564/comment-page-1#comment-214605 Jon Sat, 03 Nov 2012 18:19:28 +0000 http://www.capitolhillblue.com/?p=45564#comment-214605 I’d hazard a guess, David, that the more they pride themselves on elitism and incorruptibility, the more likely, swifter, and further they are to fall.

I’d rather have agencies made up of people recognizably human with reasonable, fair, and transparent procedures and policies to deal with corruption as it occurs.

He was one square dude. I don’t think there was a secret service at that time. When he retired he wrote for Detective Magazine and we loved reading about his adventures. I think everyone was square in those days. I know, I was.

Maureen Reagan married one of her secret service agents and he was wonderful. I know she adored him.
