Twelve days after cocaine was found in a West Wing entrance area during a routine sweep, the Secret Service made the humiliating announcement Thursday it had closed an investigation without a suspect due to a lack of physical evidence.
“It stretches credulity,” Washington Times columnist Robert Knight tells AFN, “to think that with all the tools of their command, they can't get any clues whatsoever about who left this bag there.”
According to the announcement, however, the Secret Service struck out with footage from surveillance cameras as well as the package itself, which failed to provide forensic evidence from fingerprints and DNA.
After it was first reported the bag of cocaine was found in a White House library, that story changed to a "work area" then to a cubby hole where visitors leave behind belongings before taking a tour. The description of a cubby hole was described as a storage locker according to a more recent New York Post story.
American Family Radio host Jenna Ellis tells AFN she was grateful House Speaker Kevin McCarthy blasted the White House for failing to name the culprit.
“You can’t tell me in the White House, with 24/7 surveillance, in a cubby hole by the Situation Room, that they don’t know who delivered it there,” McCarthy complained in a Fox News interview.
“I think that [McCarthy] is at least describing the impression,” she observes, “that the White House and the Secret Service are giving to a lot of Americans who really do want more transparency with this."
In a column about the cocaine cover-up, PJ Media editor Stephen Kruiser summed up the conclusion of many: Hunter Biden’s stash of cocaine was found, which put the Secret Service in a terrible position.
“This is the most boring connect-the-dots ever. There are only two dots,” he wrote.
