Any chance they’re being “encouraged” to fight this by the anti-Obama crowd in order to allow them to continue to talk about Obama and prostitutes in the same sentence repeatedly for days on end?

Eh, they’re idiots but they’re not dumb to fight their termination. Government employees have a lot of official avenues for fighting a termination so I see no foul in them utilizing them. However a lot of them are administrative court type things with administrative law judges who interpret the arcane bureaucratic personnel rules and my understanding is they typically always rule in favor of the government.
How does this work, out of idle curiosity? How does having a relative missing decades ago lead to blackmail? People claiming to know where he is?
You answered your own question there. Though I guess blackmail isn’t the right word for that sorta thing.
Will court proceedings be televised? I’d be interested in seeing a “bros before hos” defense in action.
I know its kinda stupid to talk about morality…but aren’t SS agents supposed to be a bit “better” than the average man on the street? I mean, these guys have a job to do…though I guess with ex-president Bill Clinton posing with porn stars (at Cannes), the US can’t get much better!
Maybe these guys were experimenting with a new security protocol. Instead of throwing themselves between a bullet and the President, they throw a hooker!
One of the prostitutes involved pointed out one of the dangers: while sleeping, all of the officer’s notes and electronics could have been compromised. Federal law enforcement officers are not at liberty to fall asleep when their information is not secure. Much less get nekkid, embarrass the service, the country and their spouses.
I’ll admit that I don’t know terribly much in regard to the details of this scandal, but are you telling me that these guys LITERALLY slept with the hookers? ie: banged them, then fell asleep? Are these guys insane?
It is my recollection that one of the women said that when her customer was asleep she could have done anything she wanted. If this is true, and he had a laptop computer or some such with him, then it would have been a complete lapse of security at a time when ordinary Americans are subject to a cavity search upon detainment or going through an airport.
I read the title as "4 Secret Service Agents decide to fight the Terminators."
That would have been a better thread. 
Cum with me if you want to live (bitch).
I’m still not understanding why this should be an impediment to his employment.
And I haven’t been following this story that closely…how many of these guys were married? Kids?
Okay, this isnt that complicated but let me give it a go.
Imagine it’s still the Cold War and the war is still very cold (or would that be hot?). An Air Force pilot goes missing on a mission in Vietnam. Note the keyword MISSING. Is he alive? Is he dead? Did the North Vietamnese capture him alive after his plane crashed? Heck, maybe he went crazy and defected. Nobody knows.
A few years later that pilot’s son/daughter/wife/brother/sister/bestest friend/whoever is now working on a military project with classified information. Some evil Russian spy finds out this info (which shouldn’t be too hard to find actually). They approach said person and tells them “we have your guy/know where he is. He was captured alive. If you just give us some info we might be able to “free” him.”
Seems to me thats about the worst case scenario for somebody possibly revealing secret information baring something even more extreme like a recent kidnapping of a loved one being held for informational ransom.
