And why do they call it New Zealand? Isn't it millions of years old?

It's not just the prostitution, it's also the issue of people in charge of security for elected leaders putting themselves in dangerous situations. When he was hooking up, did he have any sensitive info with him (itineraries for Pence or Trump or others, for instance)? Or is he married and therefore a potential blackmail target?
Being a Secret Service agent is a tough, demanding gig. I couldn't do it. Apparently, neither can this guy.

And he's a fed, and should know better. If you're a fed, being held to a higher standard is part of the job.

If either of those things is true, I'm much more inclined to throw rocks. I assumed for purposes of rock-throwing in my first post that neither of those things were true -- that it's about how he spends his spare time. Still, though, as I noted, while one can argue over whether prostitution should be illegal, the fact remains that it IS illegal, and he, being a secret service agent, shouldn't be breaking the law. So he's still a dumbass, he should lose his job, and he still gets a rock thrown at him by moi. If he had sensitive info with him or if he had been on duty, it becomes much more serious, IMO, and a whole 'nuther stoning.

Man. I only started watching House of Cards a few weeks ago, and here it is all over again.

Secret Service agents have to approach things differently then everyday people. That goes with the territory. They should never be putting themselves in situations where they could be compromised. Maybe he had no info on him this time, but he could have, and that's enough imo.

Apparently nobody in the Trump Administration knows the difference between dystopian fiction and procedure manuals. Dammit, it's so obvious after a little thought. The Trump Administration has been punked. I think some Obama staffers got copies of 1984 and Brave New World and made fake dust covers labeled " Trump Administration Transition and Procedure Manual." So all the new bureaucrats pulled out their manuals and got to work like good little functionaries. I'm not sure how House of Cards fits into that, though. Maybe it's a documentary brought back by time-travelers?
