No charges in Denver 3 ouster (case involving Bush event)
Edited on Fri Jul-29-05 02:25 PM by Rose Siding
Federal prosecutors have declined to press charges of impersonating a Secret Service agent against a White House volunteer who forcibly ousted three people from a speech by President George W. Bush in Denver on March 21.
The announcement was made without explanation today in a letter from the Secret Service to Colorado Sen. Ken Salazar and Reps. Mark Udall and Diana DeGette, all Democrats who had asked for the agency to investigate the incident.

Congressman Mark Udall, D-Colo., said in a statement, "It's puzzling that the Secret Service would take four months to come up with nothing."
"Frankly, if the Secret Service and White House have nothing to hide, and if no law was broken, don't the American people have a right to know the results of the investigation and who was responsible for ejecting the Denver 3?"
"Hopefully the White House will put in place procedures for town meetings that allow all views to be heard and that respect all law-abiding individuals," Udall said.
