Respectfully, that is not what you posted:
“It’s not likely Hunter was ever in the situation room.”
I posted links to show that the democrats have absolutely no respect or reverence for boundaries and security in the White House.
Did you look at the links I posted that showed rappers in the Situation Room?
Those were celebrity tours of the Situation Room when it was not in use. When this happens there must be so-called “shoulder-to-shoulder” escort by someone who is on the access list. I have provided such escort myself in a secure facility, though for technical people rather than celebrities.
Did someone who was cleared show the Situation Room to Hunter? Yes that probably happened in early 2021. So yes he has probably been in the room when it was not in use. Years ago.
I highly doubt the security custodian of the Situation Room SCIF acts as a political hack, regardless of who the temp is in the Oval Office.
I should have been more specific and said “Hunter does not attend official meetings in the Situation Room therefore he would have no reason to deposit personal belongings in the Situation Room phone cubby.”
The baggie may have been left there inadvertently when Joe dropped off his phone before going in the room. Even so the baggie may well be traceable to Hunter as well as Joe, by fingerprints or DNA.
