The Secret Service gave a classified briefing to Congress on Thursday about the cocaine that was found in the West Wing over the Fourth of July weekend on Sunday, July 2, after the House Oversight Committee demanded answers from them.
As we reported, they’re insulting our intelligence with the claim that agents are unable to find the culprit and that they’re wrapping up the case already. That’s despite visitor logs and cameras. It’s a horrible take, and the statement the Secret Service released about what they did to investigate just makes them look worse. This is just going to feed the sense that they’re covering things up for the Biden team — and that’s very concerning.
But the briefing did reveal something else that’s troubling: this isn’t the first time they’ve found drugs in the Biden White House.
They told Congress that they found marijuana twice in the White House in 2022.
A spokesperson for the Secret Service told Fox News Digital that agents had found “small amounts of marijuana” on two separate occasions, in July and September of last year.
“No one was arrested in these incidents, because the weight of the marijuana confiscated did not meet the legal threshold for federal charges or D.C. misdemeanor criminal charges, as the District of Columbia had decriminalized possession,” the Secret Service spokesperson said. “The marijuana was collected by officers and destroyed.”
The spokesperson told Fox News Digital that agents had found “less than .2 ounces of marijuana in both instances” and noted D.C.’s marijuana decriminalization.
Possessing less than two ounces is not a crime in D.C., but it is still not permitted on federal property or in the White House.
That shows there’s a problem that’s allowing people to bring stuff in, and they aren’t catching them. Again, assume it was something dangerous like anthrax. If they aren’t picking these drugs up, then they’re allowing this opening to happen again with something truly bad.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) made the point that they should have had video surveillance in place, given the prior incidents:
This probably is an area that should have had video surveillance, especially since this is not the first time that drugs have been found on the White House property since Biden has taken office.
There should have been implementations made to ensure security at the White House already before this cocaine appeared.
I’d want to know where and who brought it in too, and if there were any consequences. Was it in the West Wing or the residence?
Boebert said they didn’t have scandals like this under former President Trump, “And it just poses the question: What kind of people is Joe Biden bringing into the White House?”
Boebert also revealed that the key to the locker where the cocaine was found was missing.
“There are 182 lockers in that foyer and currently … locker number 50 where the cocaine was found, that key is missing,” she said. “There were more than 500 people who went through the West Wing during the weekend of when this substance was found, when the cocaine was found in the White House, and none of those people who have come through are classified as suspects.”
“We do not know how many were tourists, individual citizens, or staffers, and they currently are not looking any further into those more than 500 people who entered that foyer of the West Wing during that weekend,” she said. “Instead, they are quickly wanting to close this investigation and move on to the next Biden crime crisis.”
Boebert also told Fox News that she had learned that “there are no logs of the lockers. There’s no video surveillance of the lockers.”
She said that she believes that everyone who came in that weekend should be drug tested. She said all the Secret Service did was conduct background searches for prior drug use or convictions.
The bottom line, this shows that there’s a continuing problem that they are failing to address. Why haven’t we heard about these drugs before? More of that Biden “decency.” It seems they would rather cover it up than deal with it and be honest with the American people.
My question:
Are they going to return it to its owner now, or keep it to plant on a conservative?
All the SS agents involved in this investigation should be fired for incompetence.
The cubby area of the White House would be a good place for a modern version of Green Acres’ Mr. Haney.
Opening a canvas curtain to show “Ladies and gentlemen, a spectacular display of the very highest quality narcotics for my special customers. Cocaine, crack pipes, imported Peruvian psychedelic mushrooms, university lab meth, the purest hashish. All here in a limited supply today. “
Looks like the security at The White House is about as pathetic as it is on the southern border.
RE: and be honest with the American people.
Really? Try something brand new this late in the Biden Administration? Not gonna happen.
Not the first time for illegal drugs in the recent Biden White House.
Question: Why didn’t you inform the authorities?
Answer: Nobody asked.
I live Trump’s, “was he on cocaine when” attacks. I really hope it’s a staple of the campaign
Actually surprised this even made it to the news. The SS hides everything else. Why did this leak ? They know Biden is not mentally sound yet they hide that too. Why report a tiny amount of blow.
Don’t worry McCarthy is om the case, he spoke out about it.😡🤡😡
Not surprised.
This Bogino clip was 4 days ago. Towards the end he says” who are they going to try to blame it on now ? The construction workers” Sure enough, 2 days ago they did just that
How did the lie detector tests go for all those visitors? Oh, they didn’t do any?
Can you imagine if this was the Trump White House?
bump
They'd be ordering anal probes for everyone.
Dan Bongino has a unique perspective. Being a int the SS for 12 years, he stated that the cocaine had to be brought in by one of the "protected".
There NEVER was a suspect.
Just as I told you when it was first announced – they could not find someone that THEY invented.
I said there was no “suspect” to find because THEY planted the drug – if in fact it even existed to begin with.
This “cocaine in our White House” gambit was always a
bluff to try to force Taco Jill and Crime Boss Joey to resign.
But, they can’t resign because Joey squatting in our White House is the only protection they have for her.
Those that think Crime Boss Joey will go to jail are fooling themselves.
That is a stupid idea because the process gives full control over what happens to Joey to Meritless Garbage who of
course would LOVE to be handed the matter. He would put it in a draw and we would never hear about it again.
This is a high stakes game of chicken to see who has more balls, the wimps in the Democrat/communist party or Crime Mistress Taco Jill.
So, in round one she is the hands down winner.
The Secret Service just had it shoved up its
ash sideways and wiggled around for good measure.
Understand, these people are NOT going to jail – so they think.
The Biden Crime Family does not care if Joey The Sniff goes into Election Day down 15 points – which would finally be beyond the voter fraud capabilities of the Democrat/communists.
The Biden Crime Family only cares about itself and not the rodents.
Joey was “supposed to be used” BY the rodents but as a skilled and experienced criminal he and his Mistress Taco Jill have turned the tables on Chuckie and Nancy.
THEY are the ones that have been taken in this drama not Joey and Taco Jill.
The next escalation is for the Democrat/communists is to put THEIR tail up THEIR ash and do their own dirty work.
They sent the JV criminals out against professional criminals and got punched in the nose.
Now time is running out for the rodents.
They don’t want to go into the fall carrying the dead weight of a senile old gangster that is driving their numbers down.
The problem will only get worse as time goes by and tick- tock, tick- tock.
THEY HAVE TO GET RID OF JOEY - but how?
I know this is round one, but what the next round is I don’t know.
Nevertheless, I do know what the final round is: That will be when the Democrat/communists come to McCarthy to beg him to impeach Joey.
With Jordan and Comer and the Freedom Caucus planting their foot in McCarthy’s back and working his head it is easy to a deal that would allow an impeachment of Joey AND say Meritless Garbage and Wray to begin with.
That will allow the rodents to get out from under Joey and Taco Jill and try to claim the mantle of reformers that are soooo sincere that they joined with their colleagues across the aisle and cleaned house in our government.
I know if I was running the rodent party that is what I would say.
It seems to be a drip drip campaign to dirty up Joe Biden.
A little bit here and a little bit there and eventually the uniparty and their media will start calling for Joe to step aside.
