Just when you thought it was safe to concentrate on the existing Obama Administration Scandals another one pops up. This one involves the State Department covering up criminal activities from state department personnel. According to CBS News documents from the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), an internal watchdog agency, that implicate the State Department in a series of
worldwide misconducts.
The memo, reported by CBS News’ John Miller, cited eight specific examples, including allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults” with foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge and that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security detail “engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries” — a problem the report says was “endemic.”
Former State Department internal investigator Aurelia Fedenisn told CBS News, “We also uncovered several allegations of criminal wrongdoing in cases, some of which never became cases.”
Often times, other DSS agents were simply told to back off of investigations of high-ranking State Department members. Fedenisn told CBS that “hostile intelligence services” allow criminal behavior to continue.
Then there is the case of a U.S. Ambassador who was patronizing prostitutes in a public park which was covered up:
The memo states that the ambassador was permitted to return to his post despite having, “routinely ditched…his protective security detail” in order to “solicit sexual favors from prostitutes.”
It's been said over and over that its not the crime that gets one in trouble its the cover-up. When you consider Benghazi and this cover-up, Hillary Clinton has much to answer for before she could even consider running for the presidency in 2016.
