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.

infringe civil rights
Gee they had NO problem infringing on the civil rights of 80 yr old grannies who were arrested and put into solitary for taking SELFIES at the capitol..for them they had NO rights, but the Secret Service had issue here because they already knew the second they found it that it was Hunter’s cocaine..so the cover up began, they have to protect the Biden family they have done so their entire lives
All government personnel are trash.
Please tell me that an area in The White House that has that many people passing through it, that there aren't security cameras in place. What a crock of shit.
> It was determined by the agency that because the cocaine amounted to around 0.007 ounces… <
Even that is most probably a lie.
Especially in light of the fact that they admitted this was the third time drugs had been found in The White House on Biden's watch. Marijuana twice, and coke once. It makes them look incompetent...which they obviously are. And it also shows they are complicit in the cover-ups.
Let’s assume interviewing 500 individuals is impractical - maybe it might make sense to first cull that number down by interviewing those in that group with a history of abuse of the drug in question . . .
I don't blame the SS. Their directive is to protect the President.
And it's just Hunter.
Karine J-P said the Bidens weren’t in DC on Friday so the cocaine couldn’t possibly be theirs.
Then... oops... a journalist reported that she saw Jill and Joe leaving the White House in separate cars around 6:25 p.m. On Friday.
Surprise! democrat criminals get special privileges that you and I don’t.
All animals are equal, just some are more equal than others.
It’s nice they are so concerned about wasting tax payers money...and civil rights and stuff.
They have to watch their spending cause they went way over budget attempting to destroy Trump. And going after imaginary right wing terrorists.
Picture from Hunter's laptop.
Yes, cover up for the Biden crime family.
So investigating a crime is now an infringement on the criminal’s rights?? That’s the stupidest excuse anyone could have ever come up with.
well now that this is closed FOIA the heck out of it...Iwant the truthe where it was found when by who etc...did they chck ehe oacket for dna/fingerprints? how about the cubby?

close second the “Hatch Act” is #1
Hunter wouldn’t get high on a mere 0.007 oz of coke. He’s an addict and he would need more than that. That’s why the quoted figure is a lie like everything else in this “investigation”.
Hunter would have more than.007 ounces.
If that’s their view, another agency needs to be activated.
0.007 ounces, first it was a baggie,
then a dime bag ...now this...
soon it will vanish into thin air !
just like it was supposed to...
