For Those of You Wondering About the Colorado Case Where the "Secret Service" Kept 3 Citizens from a Social Security Town Hall Meeting

Also from Skippy International (this time, by Pudentilla):

via the raw story we learn that the secret service has opened an investigation into awol's boys' little stunt of dressing up in government agent drag and booting americans from the "let's destroy social security" rallies the "reds" have been holding.
    colo. lawyer says bush event being probed - a lawyer for three activists removed from one of president bush's town hall events said thursday that the secret service has opened a criminal probe into whether the man who escorted them from the hall was impersonating an agent.the man was dressed in a dark suit and wore an earpiece when he escorted the three from the march 21 event. the secret service has said it has determined the man was not one of its agents, but a staff member with the host committee.
but we told you so, three weeks ago. it's a double-plus ungood felony to pretend to be a fed when you're not according to 18 U.S.C. § 912 (1994) . we presume, however, that the secret service has yet to receive the iokiyar memo. no doubt the identity of the alleged perpetrator will be revealed shortly after the name of the guy/gal who outed valerie plame.
