Director of Secret Service claims tapes are deleted after 72 hours

Another incident of federal abuse has occurred which shows just how corrupt the Obama administration is, and how prone it is to hiding and allowing misconduct to go on.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Secret Service agents have reported to a Congressional inquiry that surveillance videos which showed a March 4 crash, that involved two Secret Service agents who had been drinking, have been deleted. Furthermore, such actions are part of the Service's standard operating procedure.

Jason Chaffetz, Republican Representative from Utah, reported that Joseph Clancy, the Director of the Secret Service, showed him two different surveillance tapes of the incident which showed Secret Service agents driving into a White House barricade, reportedly after a night of drinking.

However, these films showed a very small view of what occurred that night, and Cheffetz reported that currently it is impossible to confirm allegations that the agents were intoxicated.

What was even more alarming is that there was no other footage of the event, as all other tapes which filmed the misconduct were erased.

During a closed-door session with the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on March 17, Clancy said that the Secret Service's longstanding policy is to erase surveillance tapes of White House grounds after just 72 hours.

"I don't think anyone in that room could believe it," said Chaffetz during an interview with CBS News. "That's just a stunning revelation that 72 hours after they make a tape, they destroy it? That doesn't make any sense to us."

Chaffetz continued expressing his disbelief with the Secret Service Director's explanation. "If it's regular to destroy them after 72 hours, why did they have two of the tapes, and where are the rest of the tapes? And so far the Secret Service has not been able to answer the question."
