Secret Service Fighting, Mountain Lion & Joe Paterno gets money

Four Secret Service members who were dismissed following the Colombian prostitute scandal are planning to fight the decision to strip them of their jobs. Now according to the washington post The agents are set to argue that the agency is making them scapegoats for behavior they say the Secret Service have tolerated far too long. Director Mark Sullivan will testify in front of a Senate committee Today, making his first public address of the scandal. The agents claim that the story covered in the media that a group of men went searching for prostitutes is not true, and that some of them went out separately, bringing back women they did not think would charge them money for sex. Agents claim that the Secret Service operates under a “what happens on the road, stays on the road” practice.
