The list is long -

Taherzadeh is accused of providing Secret Service officers and agents with rent-free apartments – including a penthouse worth over $40,000 a year – along with iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, flat screen television, a generator, gun case and other policing tools, according to court documents.

They had fake gear galore. The names sound Kazakhi or Uzbeki.

How is the secret service so corruptible? I thought they would have a better screening process

Why isn't this a bigger story? This is mind blowing that these guys did this for so long.

How bad is the SS?

I think this story is just starting to blow up. It's fascinating. I would also like to see some articles on the US Postal Service Police because they are the ones who caught them. One article I just finished said neighbors had called DC police and Homeland Security to report them and nothing happened. It was only when the Postal Service Police became involved that anything happened.

The phrase I associate most with the SS is "wheels up rings off" from the prior scandal when they were caught with Colombian hookers while supposedly protecting the president.

For some reason postal inspectors seem to be a combination of no-nonsense and insanely competent in every story that I ever read about them.

Attacking a postal worker/inspector is a federal crime and they take that seriously going all the way back to the Pony Express days.

What a creep:

“In addition to federal conspiracy, Taherzadeh, 40, as part of his plea, also admitted guilt to two District of Columbia offenses: unlawful possession of a large-capacity ammunition-feeding device and voyeurism.

The latter charge relates to his unauthorized videotaping of women having sex in apartments he leased and rigged with surveillance cameras.

Taherzadeh's sentencing date has not been scheduled. He faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison, but federal sentencing guidelines stipulated in his plea agreement suggest he receive a prison term of between 37 months and 46 months.”
