- You can’t tell me that what they did wasn’t illegal. Probably both on “state” and federal levels. A crackerjack lawyer in the D.C. DA’s office and an equivalently hot talent at the DoJ should be assigned to find a long list of charges to throw at them.
- Any plea negotiations should include no publicity whatsoever and jail time. I really want to see that guy go from tux to orange jumpsuit in a D.C. jail.
- The media companies should shun them like they had Ebola virus. Apparently they came close to going on Larry King. This is exactly not the result we want – you don’t want to do anything to encourage similar publicity-seeking idiots to try something similar.
- I don’t understand why Congress is investigating. The security of the President is not their job; that is the job of the Secret Service. I think it’s safe to say that such an investigation has a pretty high priority at the Secret Service right now.
- If the Secret Service has to fire people, then so be it. I feel for those people and their careers and so forth, but this is a zero-tolerance job.
- It’s is not the American people’s business exactly what went wrong. Explaining to us exactly what went wrong explains more to people who would like to breach such events for truly tragic purposes. We have a right to expect that our Commander-in-Chief and senior executives will be protected. We do not have a right to know how that’s done. The first basically precludes the second.
