#1 If they've closed the investigation, they shouldn't be able to refuse to answer questions because "it's an ongoing investigation", right?

#2 A usual, holding back critical points about an event until the media attention span is exhausted allows for the creation of confusion about the actual truth. This was a drug drop off, using controlled locker and key, undoubtedly for someone in residence at the White House. The key to locker 50 will never be found but my guess is that it is/was in Hunter's possession. Only an addict in residence would craft such a scheme with the attendant risks associated with its compromise, but an arrogant one would do it as yet another display of invulnerability to the rules that govern the rest of us. Sound familiar?

Secret Service sacrificing its reputation to protect drug offender in the White House
By Thomas Lifson

"Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., told Fox News Digital that, during the briefing, she inquired about specific security measures in place for the lockers where the cocaine was found. Boebert said the Secret Service admitted that the key to the locker in question "is missing." "There are 182 lockers in that foyer and currently... locker number 50 where the cocaine was found, that key is missing," Boebert said. "There were more than 500 people who went through the West Wing during the weekend of when this substance was found, when the cocaine was found in the White House, and none of those people who have come through are classified as suspects."

"We do not know how many were tourists, individual citizens, or staffers, and they currently are not looking any further into those more than 500 people who entered that foyer of the West Wing during that weekend," she said. "Instead, they are quickly wanting to close this investigation and move on to the next Biden crime crisis." "

#3 No need to further discover what has already been discovered.

Breitbart - Officials at the White House know who brought cocaine into the White House and have confirmed that finding via fingerprint analysis, according to a report which contradicts a statement released by the Secret Service.

A security source told Soldier of Fortune magazine, “We know who handled it… We’ve known since last week.”

According to the report — which Breitbart News has not independently verified — two sources disclosed the name of the person who is believed to have handled the cocaine, but the magazine is withholding the name pending official confirmation.

The report alleged that the second test by the FBI “brought back a hit on fingerprints.”

#4 MAUREEN CALLAHAN: Yeah, right - the White House can find Bin Laden lurking in a remote Pakistan compound… but not a cocaine culprit under its nose. How much longer will we let them take us for fools?

#5 Watters Drops Info, Big Question About Why Secret Service Closed Cocaine Investigation

#6 If I were leading an effort that sought to discredit the Biden White House regarding the coke, I would attack these vulnerabilities regarding the incident:
1. Have a group like Judicial Watch flood the zone with FIOA requests to the WH Press Secretary and her staff for emails and internal communication regarding the location that the cocaine was found.
2. I would encourage OMG to target Eisenhower Executive Office Staffers to see what they are talking about when they are hammered in DuPont Circle. Why should we know less than the CCP about our government?
3. I would have a company like Rasmussen conduct some polling about whether Americans believe that there is a coverup concerning the cocaine and confront KJP about the result.
4. I would call the head of WH security in front of Congress for a grilling concerning the practice of allowing unvetted, unsearched, cokehead contractors free access to the WH in which it would be established that that’s not what happened.

#7 I wonder if the "coke dealer to the White House" is actually a direct connection to one of the cartels.

Such a person could use money / threats to quiet a lot of people.

#8 The key to locker 50 is missing. Ok, who was issued that key?

#9 I don’t accept the premise that it was in a locker. Sunlight ought to be applied to the Press Secretary. Executive privilege does not apply unless she was providing counsel to the president. Some WH fixer is not president for Constitutional purposes.

#11 This "investigation" brought to light that 2 other times drugs were found in the Biden White House. They were marijuana but these 2 were kept secret but somehow came to light after the cocaine was found. What else is being kept secret?

#12 Tell 'em all they have to pee into a bottle or lose their jobs. But I don't suppose that'd worry a guy like Hunter who has no job to lose...other than bag man for his daddy.

#13 If we assume the worst then we're probably about right for the Biden White House. My assumption would be that all or most of the people who work there are high on drugs most of the time and it will be covered up. I assume that if Biden White House employees were not sociopaths they would not be Biden White House employees. And yes, Murcek, a direct connection to one or more of the Mexican drug cartels should be assumed, the money going through one or more of Hunter's offshore accounts. They don't leave that border wide open for nothing. I would also assume that any cocaine found in the White House is the good stuff.

#14 Oh, the irony. Joe "tough on crime and cocaine" Biden and this fiasco. Thanks to him, this gives a new meaning to White House.

#20 Got a kick out of an article today about how, if that cocaine had been found in our house that DEA would confiscate under asset forfeiture it willy-nilly.

So now 1600 Penna. Ave. is no different than some dive in any urban setting.

#21 If a person is going to hide drugs in the Whitehouse, they WILL know where that blind spot is.

#22 ... and I think it was a delivery. Hunter will NOT be seen out on the streets picking up cocaine. He will have it delivered by someone who has access to the White House

#23 Only someone in security would know the blind spots. I don’t accept that the coke was in the cubbyhole. I believe that there was a couple of narrative tries at a location that would allow them to say that the perp could not be identified. The Hazmat testing took place in the library of residence. No security protocol would have you move possible anthrax from the office side of the White House into the residence. It was found in the library. You don’t march possible anthrax around. When it is moved it goes out of the building. The Administration is lying and doing it badly.

#24 So the finger prints will not be Hunters on the bag. Only the supplier's. By the way. Why has Hunter not been seen since the find? If he was innocent, why is he NOT vehemently running around defending himself.

#25 If the cubby was a delivery, the baggy will have the dealers prints. If Hunter left it in the library, it would have his prints. The balcony snort is why he is not visible. He will make no statement until his plea deal. Jill is making a bad mistake not getting him into rehab immediately. If anything bad gets into Hunter’s supply, how will that look for the first family? If the powers that be have decided that Joe needs to go, facilitating a Hunter OD would help move that along.
