The Secret Service announced this week that the agency has finished its investigation into the mysterious baggie of cocaine that was found in the White House earlier this month with finding the culprit.
The agency said that the case was closed due to a lack of forensic evidence coupled with the fact that the class A drug was found an area in which around 500 people passed through at the time it was believed to have been discarded.
It was determined by the agency that because the cocaine amounted to around 0.007 ounces, meaning it would only be a misdemeanor offense in the District of Columbia, it would be a waste of public resources to interview 500 people.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi told NBC News that conducting such a vast amount of interviews may also infringe on civil rights and that without physical evidence, a confession would likely be necessary.
'Yes, you could have a consensual interview. But we have no evidence to approach them,' Gugliemi said.
Former US Attorney and acting administrator of the DEA under President Barack Obama, Chuck Rosenberg, echoed Gugliemi's remarks telling NBC News that the agency has to make calls on what to investigate and what not to investigate.
'They could have done the interviews, but at the end of the day it's a long walk through dry sand. They have finite resources and it's OK for them to decide some things are worth their time and some things are not worth their time,' Rosenberg said.
Secret Service agents found the white powder during a routine White House sweep on July 2, in a heavily trafficked West Wing lobby where staff go in and out, and tour groups gather to drop their phones and other belongings.

0.17 oz would fill a small baggie and would be a pretty typical amount to be carrying. To me it’s a believable number. But 0.007 is either a mistake or an attempt to downplay the amount.
The secret service are afraid. This discovery puts them between a rock and a hard place. Given how truth tellers and innocent people of all sorts are being arrested, prosecuted, attacked and put in jail, how many career secret service people can there be who would risk their own necks, given the dishonesty that reigns in D.C. Coverups are the name of the game. Which of them wants to be a hero out on a limb?

If you worked for almost any company, they’d demand everyone be tested.
Every single one of those 500 individuals that is a government employee should have been drug tested.
Well played. Every thanksgiving.
No. That just means that what was found was residue. Whomever owned it snorted it all.
😂😂🤣🤣
“The US is a failed state.”
True for many decades.
When it hit home for me was when Mohammed Atta’s flight school visa was mailed out in March 2002.

We all know about 9/11. But ultimately, more damage was done through the Patriot Act. The FBI is now weaponized because of an intelligence failure on 9/11.
Yes. We live in a banana republic. Every single part of the feral government is completely corrupt to its core.
If someone set off a nuke in DC tomorrow, my only question would be who I'd need to send the 'Thank You' card to.
Yes FBI weaponized because of the PAtriot Act
But the entire Fed Gov was hyper vigilant against any terrorist threat after 911, and they are sending flight school visas to dead terrorists ?
It was supposedly their “number one priority”, yet they did this.
That is Regime dysfunction and failure
I think it worked about 10 years with the war on terror. We killed a lot of terrorists in the Middle East. We were able to assassinate Osama bin Laden. Now that's done. What is the FBI going to do now? Now I'm starting to see thar Edward Snowden may be right after all. Not sure if it was the right move for him to flee to Russia. But maybe he had no choice. No other country in the world would keep him safe. But he's paying a price to Putin in return for his sanctuary in Russia. As an American, I can't see myself doing that.
Hi! You asked why the WH/SS cocaine escapade is important or even interesting.
This teen explains it beautifully in his video.

The teens video gives me hope. The Democrats’ “symphony of sewage” is becoming quite apparent and should not be ignored. How much lower can this country’s leadership whether it be the Oval Office, Majority Leader, CEO or University Dean go?
That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness…when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—
That’s right. But the problem is that a bunch of geriatric boomers have a bunch of guns, but nothing else has been prepared.
Has any State formed its own militia independent of the National Guard ?
And they could not pull any prints off that baggy, amazing.
Yes. These leaks are coming from the Deep State, against the Bidens. They want him out.
Is there any part of our federal government that is not corrupt?
