As predicted, the Secret Service thoroughly investigated who was responsible for the cocaine found last weekend in the White House and … oopsie, they came up empty-handed.
The Political Insider reported on officials last week already trying to temper expectations of finding the culprit. And sure enough, that scenario came to fruition.
The Secret Service issued a statement Thursday indicating that despite fingerprint and DNA analysis, and the cocaine being located in one of the most secure areas of one of the most secure buildings on the planet, they “will not be able to single out a person of interest.”
“At this time, the Secret Service’s investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence,” they said.

The first question that comes to mind is – Was Mr. Bean leading the investigation?
The second question that comes to mind is – Did the Secret Service just admit that one can go into the White House with a white powdery substance, plant it, and never be discovered?
That’s reassuring.
Responses to the Secret Service announcement and their Detective Frank Drebin-esque investigation ranged from mockery to disbelief. Judge Jeanine Pirro from Fox News absolutely leveled the agency.
“It’s a slap in the face to every American who was ever arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and went to jail for cocaine possession, especially a Black American,” Pirro said.
“And to the Secret Service – Have, you no dignity? Have you no shame?” she continued. “You’re either inept or you’re covering up.”
It’s not a binary choice, however. It’s perfectly reasonable to assume they are both inept and covering up.
Political commentator Kathleen McKinley pointed out how the media will react to the news of the CocaineGate investigation being closed.
“And that will be the end of that. The media will not say another word about it. Not even a whisper,” she wrote.
Imagine cocaine was found in the Trump White House and his own son had an extensive history of drug use and abuse. Would the media walk away and accept the official story coming from the Secret Service?

“Oh, the @FBI handled the evidence. We can totally trust them not to tip the scales of justice,” another observer wrote.

Trump: They Know Who It Was
Former President Donald Trump last week responded to rumors that the Secret Service was going to be unable to pinpoint a suspect, stating that should that happen, it means they are protecting President Biden and his son.
“THEY 100% KNOW WHO IT IS,” Trump said. “If they don’t release information, it means they destroyed the tapes & the Cocaine was for use by Hunter, & probably Crooked Joe, in order to give this total disaster of a President a little life and energy!”

Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) suggested the Secret Service just wanted to put CocaineGate in the rearview mirror as quickly as possible.
“They are quickly wanting to close this investigation and move on to the next Biden crime crisis,” claimed Boebert.
How is it possible that an illegal drug was brought into the White House, left there for some length of time, and nobody can figure out how it got there?
Answer: It isn’t.
Were any Biden administration officials questioned in this investigation? Who can access the White House with so little scrutiny that they can smuggle in and store illegal substances?
They do this because they know they can get away with it. They know the media won’t question the story.
And they apparently have gotten away with ignoring illegal drugs in the White House twice more in the past year or so. The Secret Service confirmed Thursday that marijuana was found previously at the White House – in June and September of 2022.
Marijuana remains illegal at the federal level, meaning it isn’t allowed on federal grounds, including the White House.
Biden vowed to bring “decency” back to the White House. Instead, it’s been turned into a drug den and shelter for criminal deadbeats.
The biggest one being his own son.
