Three Secret Service agents, including two supervisors, who were implicated in the agencys prostitution scandal are leaving the agency as investigators seek to determine whether the embarrassing episode led to a security breach.
Officials said none of the 11 Secret Service agents who allegedly brought prostitutes to their hotel rooms in Colombia before President Obama visited for a summit last weekend had weapons, radios, itineraries or other potentially sensitive documents in their rooms.
Paul Morrissey, assistant director of the Secret Service, said in a statement that one agency supervisor was allowed to retire, another was proposed for removal for cause, and a third nonsupervisory employee had resigned.
Morrissey said the supervisor being fired had 30 days to appeal and the right to private legal counsel. None of the three was identified.

(32,093 posts)This is not about politics, it is about professionalism. It is widely proclaimed to be the biggest scandal in SS history and it should be completely investigated. Today it came out there was coke in their rooms. So how many are on drugs? Or is that ok too?
