R.I.P. Scout26
A culture of "wheels up; rings off" meant even married agents could party on foreign trips. Secret Service K-9 units brought their dogs into their hotel room, which the dogs trashed. The agents made payoffs so the incident wouldn't be reported. A agent who missed his flight later showed up drunk with two prostitutes. He was not disciplined. Agents "engaged" with prostitutes in Amsterdam's red-light district during an advance team trip. A supervisor choked a female subordinate because she rejected his sexual advances. A supervisor offered a subordinate a larger office in return for sex. A supervisor took a subordinate to a sex show while on duty. A male agent's gun was stolen by a male prostitute he solicited online. The gun was never recovered. A manager in the National Threat Assessment Center forced employees to drink alcohol in his office "so that he could trust them." The same manager was accused of multiple incidents of sexual harassment.
Just following the examples of their leadership.
A supervisor choked a female subordinate because she rejected his sexual advances.
It's a wonder they haven't lost a protectee in awhile. Of course they may massively overstate the actual threats for ego and budgetary reasons, therefore these obvious exploitable weaknesses are unlikely to lead to a successful attack.
It's unfortunate that she didn't kill him. I thought spooks knew how to do that sort of thing (if not right then, sometime later and make it look like an embarrassing accident)
