EXCLUSIVE: Probe of Secret Service prostitution scandal may cite White House advance staff involvement

Federal law enforcement personnel and a congressional committee are anxiously awaiting an overdue inspector general’s report that they believe may reveal the involvement of two White House advance team members in the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia earlier this year.

While much of the attention in the case has focused on the actions of Secret Service personnel, multiple law enforcement and congressional sources tell FoxNews.com that investigators also discovered two White House advance team members checked in prostitutes as overnight guests at a Cartagena hotel in the days before President Obama’s April 13 visit.

“Three U.S. delegation members that stayed at the Hilton brought prostitutes back as overnight guests. One of them was ours (Secret Service) and the other two were White House staffers,” a high-ranking Secret Service official told FoxNews.com. “We knew very early that White House staffers were involved.”

Twelve of the 13 agents investigated for alleged misconduct in Cartagena stayed at another hotel, the El Caribe. Only one of those charged with misconduct had a room at the Hilton, where President Obama and the White House advance team also stayed.

    NO! They’re covering that up, says top Secret Service agents! Just like the Fast and Furious “investigation” found that some “under-bus dweller” was the “highest ranking official” at DoIJ to be involved in the scandal! I wonder if the Weinstein kid at DOiJ willingly fell on his sword for Teh Won and Holedurr, or if they blackmailed him!

    Is it any wonder that our tax dollars are paying these sleazy scumbags after Clinton lowered the bar below sea level?
