King Refuses to Meet Prostitute
 
How on earth do you conduct a thorough investigation when you refuse to interview the principal character?


Quote:

WASHINGTON -- The chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee is refusing to meet with a Colombian prostitute involved in the U.S. Secret Service scandal.

Rep. Peter King tells CNN that a meeting with the woman, identified by her lawyer as Dania Londono Suarez, would merely be "a publicity stunt."

The New York Republican's panel is conducting its own investigation of the incident in which several Secret Service agents consorted with prostitutes in advance of President Barack Obama's arrival for a regional summit in Cartagena, Colombia last month.

Asked in an interview Monday about reports the woman wants to meet with him, King replies, "There's been enough cheap publicity." He says, "I'm not going to give her another forum."

I don't believe anyone is disputing her involvement. What would she bring to the story?

Yeah, there would have to be something relevant for her to testify to. Just 'cause Hustler hasn't called her back yet doesn't mean the US government owes her some free publicity.

Oh, I don't know....maybe the other side of the story????

These agents aren't the cream-of-the-crop poster boys for honesty, yanno? If you don't talk to the other people who were there how do you know they're telling the truth?

For instance, they said there was never any danger of anyone finding "secrets." She's said differently. Wouldn't it be good to quiz her and find out what, if anything, she did have access to?

LMFAO! Judge, do you want to hear the prosecution's key witness? No, I think I have enough to go on, afterall, these individuals are employed by the federal government.

Uh, gee, maybe by having the members of your committee or staff members be the ones who contact her directly and report back to you or, if she so chooses, contact her through her lawyer? (Which happens to be exactly what is happening).

Just because he personally isn't meeting her doesn't mean she isn't getting the chance to tell her side of the story, so please feel free to stop running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

Like the old saying goes, ask a stupid question.... :rofl:

The circumstances are clear a hooker was employed, she disputed the payment, and reported to the cops.

What is being investigated is the structure of the agency that created an atmosphere with this lack of discipline. The sexual proclivities of the agents are secondary. The only thing she couls add would be to satisfy the purient interest of some.

Who cares about the specifics of her beef the issue is the Secret Service culture that allowed this to happen at all. Unless we shoudfly all the Columbian hookers up fro a vacation in the US and perhaps deelop contacts for a reality show....

Drawing conclusions and making decisions on hearsay information is the preferred way of the right?? The guy told the other guy who told that other guy is the Constitutional way... :D:D:D:D

What exactly do you think she can add to the investigation?

What is her contribution to government oversight.

Specifics are welcome.
