Q: Are the Secret Service agents sworn to "absolute" secrecy?

[lpbk2713]

Are they only allowed to reveal what they are instructed to reveal?

What if they were witness to a felony or even a corporal felony. Would they be obliged to tell the tuth if questioned or would they heel to their masters?

Will we ever know what really happened? Will we have to wait forty years until some retired SS agent writes a book and tells all?

the vp shot someone... would ss have to disclose this....

2. Remember the Lewinsky matter.

Were the secret service agents required or allowed to diss Clinton? Does anyone remember exactly what happened there? I remember only that it was an issue.

In another setback for President Bill Clinton, a federal judge has ruled Secret Service personnel must testify before the grand jury in the Monica Lewinsky controversy.

5. Therein lies the rub.

We now have a rethuglican SCOTUS. A stacked deck. The truth will never see the light of day.

4. When the first twins got in trouble on illegal drinking sprees...

I don't think herr SS was even asked about it.

8. Yeah, and they took a minor to a bar

and waited outside for her to finish her partying.

A mere citizen would have been charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Get used to it. When you live on the BushAmericn pig farm, all pigs are equal. Some are just more equal than others.

6. Now that is a book I would love to read........................

the collaborated 'tell ALL' book from the Secret Service Agents that served during the bushco WH. If only the WH walls could talk.

7. "Secret " is the effective adjective here... a few have talked but it

wouldnt be a good idea to piss those people off..

9. Secret Service can be forced to testify in court
