Latest scandal: Hillary's State Dept. may have covered up pedophilia, sex abuse
Let’s take a close look at what we know about that State Department Inspector General memo, shall we?
An internal State Department Inspector General’s memo, several recent investigations were influenced, manipulated, or simply called off. The memo obtained by CBS News cited eight specific examples. Among them: allegations that a State Department security official in Beirut “engaged in sexual assaults” on foreign nationals hired as embassy guards and the charge that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s security detail “engaged prostitutes while on official trips in foreign countries” — a problem the report says was “endemic.”
After the Secret Service scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, government security officials’ having sex with prostitutes simply cannot be dismissed as unthinkable. And there are some who suspect, or fear, that this sort of thing is a lot more widespread and even quasi-accepted than we would ever believe. As a detailed Washingtonian article on the Secret Service scandal concluded, “To believe that the Cartagena affair was unique, you’d also have to believe that this group of 13 men — not all of whom knew one another — broke into separate groups and independently got the idea, for the first time ever, to go out looking for prostitutes.”
Now the really shocking scandal that IG memo referenced:
In one specific and striking cover-up, State Department agents told the Inspector General they were told to stop investigating the case of a U.S. Ambassador who held a sensitive diplomatic post and was suspected of patronizing prostitutes in a public park.
The State Department Inspector General’s memo refers to the 2011 investigation into an ambassador who “routinely ditched . . . his protective security detail” and inspectors suspect this was in order to “solicit sexual favors from prostitutes.”
Sources told CBS News that after the allegations surfaced, the ambassador was called to Washington, D.C. to meet with Undersecretary of State for Management Patrick Kennedy, but was permitted to return to his post.
There were also details about an “underground drug ring,” which was operating near the embassy in Baghdad and was allegedly supplying State Department security contractors with illegal substances.
“We were very upset. we expect to see influence, but the degree to which that influence existed, and how high up it went, was very disturbing,” Aurelia Fedenisn, a former investigator for the office of the Inspector General, the State Department’s internal watchdog agency and a whistleblower on the issue told CBS News’ John Miller. “My heart really went out to the agents in that office because they really want to do the right thing, they want to investigate the cases fully, correctly, accurately. And they can’t.”
Last week's leaks by Aurelia Fedenisn, a former State Department inspector general investigator, shined a light on alleged wrongdoing by U.S. officials around the globe. But her attorney Cary Schulman tells The Cable that Fedenisn has paid a steep price: "They had law enforcement officers camp out in front of her house, harass her children and attempt to incriminate herself."

Its just one thing after another isn't it? I hadn't heard this one, but in light of what's going on with this administration, I'm not surprised. Saddened, but not surprised.

I seem to remember hearing something similar to this going on with Secret Service agents in Columbia several years ago. Conduct the investigation and fire anyone who breached any applicable laws or policies.

But if its widespread, throughout all government, "endemic," then theres clearly a culture problem that needs to be addressed

If all of this mismanagement were to happen in the private sector, there would be steep fines and firing of CEO's.........just saying.
