Investigation -- Secret Service tried to discredit US lawmaker.

From the AP via H/T at Instapundit:
Scores of U.S. Secret Service employees improperly accessed the decade-old, unsuccessful job application of a congressman who was investigating scandals inside the agency, a new government report said Wednesday. An assistant director suggested leaking embarrassing information to retaliate against Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, chairman of the House oversight committee. The actions by the employees could represent criminal violations under the U.S. Privacy Act, said the report by the Homeland Security Department’s inspector general, John Roth.
Fire and prosecute them all. Then abolish the Secret Service, an organization that has proven itself to be corrupt, inept, and dishonest on numerous occasions over many years.
I agree with the firing and prosecuting. But I don't know about abolishing it. I think all middle to upper management needs to be removed and some apolitical retired veterans needs to be unretired and brought back in to restore the Agency.
