House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent a letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Friday requesting a briefing on the details surrounding the discovery of cocaine in the White House, as the committee investigates what happened.
“The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history,” Comer said in the letter.

Congress funds White House security procedures & @GOPoversight has oversight jurisdiction over Secret Service operations.

Secret Service uniformed officers on Sunday around 6 p.m. Eastern discovered a plastic baggie of white powdery substance in the West Wing during a routine patrol, which prompted an evacuation of the White House and the dispatch of a D.C. Fire Department hazmat team who first identified the substance as cocaine.

The squirrel hunt is on.
Maybe they will find evidence leading to Hillary’s arrest and conviction.
On FBN today Joe Concha was talking about a poll of some Dems voters in NY. The voters thought:
Biden was in ineffective leader.
Biden wasn’t strong.
Biden was too old.
But, they all said they’d vote Biden.
Ha.....you miss spelled snipe
Exactly. Total waste of time.
Great, another “investigation” so Comer can go on Hannity and do his Trey Gowdy impersonation.
What, are they bored with impeachment already? Oh, right, they can’t be bothered with actually taking some action.
Although snipe are an actual family of birds, a snipe hunt is a quest for an imaginary creature whose description varies.
Chevy Chase:
Clark : (on his brother in law being better suited to kill the loose squirrel)
Where is Eddie? He usually eats these damn things.
Cousin Catherine Johnson : Not recently, Clark. He read that squirrels were high in cholesterol.
What? The FBI and the Secret Service are all over this. Before long the House committee will be receiving videos and testimony from them , because historically but especially lately, these agencies have spared no expense, offered all hands on deck , all resources utilized to bring justice to the bad guys.
Or theyll say the tapes are missing
Sorry grandma, your presence in DC on January 6 is obviously covered by the FBI but the White House is not under similar surveillance?
Sure, and I’m the king of England.

GOP senator Tom Cotton demands to know if cocaine found at WH
was discovered in area ‘confidential information is exchanged’
By Victor Nava, ny post.com, July 5, 2023
A top Republican senator has demanded more information from the head of the Secret Service after a bag of cocaine was discovered Sunday in the West Wing of the White House.
In a Wednesday letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) asked that the protective agency confirm the precise location where the dime-size bag of white powder was found by a uniformed agent during a routine patrol.
“I urge you to release that information quickly, as the American people deserve to know whether illicit drugs were found in an area where confidential information is exchanged,” Cotton wrote.
“If the White House complex is not secure, Congress needs to know the details, as well as your plan to correct any security flaws,” the senator added.
Aside from the location where the cocaine was found, Cotton demanded that Cheatle provide his office with a complete list of individuals with “access to the White House complex without passing through any security screening” as well as a list of individuals “subject to lesser security screening requirements than the most complete screening required of individuals accessing the West Wing.”

Lawmakers asked that the protective agency confirm the precise location where the dime-size bag of white powder was found by a uniformed agent during a routine patrol.
The senator also asked how many White House visitors are screened by the Secret Service’s K-9s each year, how often the agency encountered illegal drugs at the White House within the past five years — and where the drugs were discovered.
”Illegally possessing cocaine is a crime under federal law. If the Secret Service discovers the identity of the individual who brought illicit cocaine into the White House complex, will they make an arrest under this provision?” Cotton also asked, requesting answers to his queries by July 14.
The Republican-led House Oversight Committee has also indicated it plans to investigate the White House drug find.
The panel is expected to request a briefing from the Secret Service on the matter, according to ABC News.
Why is this a Secret Service issue ? Shouldn’t the FBI take the lead ? Not that’s any better.....
Or maybe they are involved...don’t know. A criminal act on Federal Property occurred.
Snipe are harder to hit.
Just another rabbit for the committee to chase and never catch. The SS probably knew within an hour who the dope belonged to, but they will cover it up.
