> they were cheapasses about it, considering $80 (let alone $30) for the same thing in the US wouldn't even get you a full set of teeth.
$80? Her fee was $800, and he was trying to send her out the door with $35... so she called the cops on him.
But yeah... super unprofessional of them, and brought immense shame on the White House, but completely typical behavior of black-op and secret service types. I've had the misfortune of partying with some back in the day, and when they are off duty they LOVE to mix it up in ways most wouldn't... start fights for sport, steal cars for fun, that sort of thing. And when they get arrested, they stay anonymous, and the state department comes in, flashes their credentials and gets these anonymous guys out of jail, so yeah, they get used to getting away with stuff, and they do it for fun. I'm sure he had no plans to ever pay the escort her fee. What really hit the fan here was that a reporter was in the hotel, and opened the story up before it could be shut down.
To be honest, though, what kind of behavior do you expect from trained assassins who, in theory, will knowingly step in front of a bullet to save their subject. They get some leeway, and that has bred a culture of "how far can I push this priviledge."
