They gave two knuckleheads the personal information of all residents as well as access to their rooms without a warrant or court order. |

To the people who are asking, " wait, we thought the Department of Homeland Security" was created to protect America... how could THIS happen ?" What you should be demanding - instead of being distracted by these two Cons- is HOW poorly DHS and USSS vet/ background check their Hires because these two fanboy wanna be " Special Agents" fooled 5 - count that FIVE federal USSS/ DHS employees, listed but not named in the indictment What America should care about is the WHOLE hiring/ vetting process at DHS, not just this wake up incident For example, I know of one DHS hire in 2011 ish who was hired and given a security clearance despite the following in her background/ DAILY associations: This Department of Homeland Security employee moved to DC from Oregon where her mother had been convicted for 1st degree Armed Robbery, Assault, Forgery, check Fraud and Heroin Possession - this contact lives with the ACTIVE DHS employee currently and has Daily contact with her And Her father convicted of : armed robbery, tax evasion, heroin possession This DHS Employee went onto - wholly unsupervised by Department of Homeland Security- stalk an American family at the behest of a Yemeni foreign national There is no " security" engendered by this agency who will obviously hire and retain almost any sociopath |

Oh the vetting process and how DHS and USSS missed this blaring, screaming craziness as well as taking gifts from it is a big part of this story. I know I implied that when I praised the USPIS investigators. And, re the bolded - can the poster or posters who keep mentioning this add a link? |

What everyone living in Washington should know, if they didn't know already, is that Department of Homeland Security and its " constituent agencies" :
Does all this sound like they are " making America safe " Safe from what / whom exactly ? The department has been dogged by persistent criticism over excessive bureaucracy, waste, ineffectiveness and lack of transparency. Congress estimates that the department has wasted roughly $15 billion in failed contracts (as of September 2008).[59] In 2003, the department came under fire after the media revealed that Laura Callahan, Deputy Chief Information Officer at DHS with responsibilities for sensitive national security databases, had obtained her bachelor, masters, and doctorate computer science degrees through Hamilton University, a diploma mill in a small town in Wyoming.[60] The department was blamed for up to $2 billion of waste and fraud after audits by the Government Accountability Office revealed widespread misuse of government credit cards by DHS employees, with purchases including beer brewing kits, $70,000 of plastic dog booties that were later deemed unusable, boats purchased at double the retail price (many of which later could not be found), and iPods ostensibly for use in "data storage".[61][62][63][64] A 2015 inspection of IT infrastructure found that the department was running over a hundred computer systems whose owners were unknown, including Secret and Top Secret databases, many with out of date security or weak passwords. Basic security reviews were absent, and the department had apparently made deliberate attempts to delay publication of information about the flaws.[65] Data mining On September 5, 2007, the Associated Press reported that the DHS had scrapped an anti-terrorism data mining tool called ADVISE (Analysis, Dissemination, Visualization, Insight and Semantic Enhancement) after the agency's internal inspector general found that pilot testing of the system had been performed using data on real people without required privacy safeguards in place.[66][67] The system, in development at Lawrence Livermore and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory since 2003, has cost the agency $42 million to date. Controversy over the program is not new; in March 2007, the Government Accountability Office stated that "the ADVISE tool could misidentify or erroneously associate an individual with undesirable activity such as fraud, crime or terrorism." Homeland Security's Inspector General later said that ADVISE was poorly planned, time-consuming for analysts to use, and lacked adequate justifications.[68] Fusion centers Main article: Fusion center Fusion centers are terrorism prevention and response centers, many of which were created under a joint project between the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs between 2003 and 2007. The fusion centers gather information from government sources as well as their partners in the private sector.[69][70] They are designed to promote information sharing at the federal level between agencies such as the CIA, FBI, Department of Justice, U.S. military and state and local level government. As of July 2009, DHS recognized at least seventy-two fusion centers.[71] Fusion centers may also be affiliated with an Emergency Operations Center that responds in the event of a disaster. There are a number of documented criticisms of fusion centers, including relative ineffectiveness at counterterrorism activities, the potential to be used for secondary purposes unrelated to counterterrorism, and their links to violations of civil liberties of American citizens and others.[72] |

Looks like the judge fell for it, since he authorized bail:
