According to a New York Post report yesterday, the State Department has engaged in a wide-ranging coverup regarding U.S. Ambassador to Belgium Howard Gutman. New allegations say he routinely solicited sex from not only prostitutes, but also children.
A Bureau of Diplomatic Security agent assigned to monitor him reportedly made the grisly discovery.
A leaked government memo says “(t)he agent began his investigation and had determined that the ambassador routinely ditched his protective security detail in order to solicit sexual favors from both prostitutes and minor children.”
It also notes that Gutman’s “protective detail and the embassy’s surveillance detection team” knew a great deal about his actions.
Eric Boswell, the Assistant Secretary of State for Diplomatic Security, was allegedly very surprised at not only news of the Ambassador’s misconduct, but also about cases of impropriety involving others. Nonetheless, he is accused of trying to prevent all of this from coming to light.
Notes from a State Department meeting in December of last year reveal that Boswell was a strong advocate for keeping the alleged misdeeds out of an official report. When the final report was eventually filed during mid-March, it made no mention of those deeds.
Aurelia Fedenisn, a former veteran investigator for the State Department, brought this story to media attention. Her lawyer said that she has been threatened with criminal penalties.

Well, bully for you. You have found ONE case of alleged sexual misconduct, possibly involving juveniles, in the administration's State Department and have posted it with the apparent intent of showing that the Obama administration is guilty of the "same things" as the Catholic Church has done.
Got news for you--that will not compute. One apparently isolated incident is not anything like a proven decades-old (and likely centuries-old) pattern of systematic and heinous child sexual abuse and cover-up that has scandalized the Catholic priesthood. Not even close, Best. No "same things" there.
You have not yet answered my challenge. Now back up and tell us what you meant by "same things". Does "same things", to you, mean that that there has indeed been, within the Democratic Party, a sustained ingrained culture that has for many years produced systemic sexual abuse of children such as has been proven to have existed within the Catholic Church in the U.S., in Canada, in Ireland, and elsewhere? Or does "same things" mean something else.
Your ANSWER, please--no more irrelevancies; no more apples and oranges; just put up a real answer!
