| Secret Service ends investigation into cocaine found in White House without identifying a suspect |
| 2023-07-13 |
| [Yahoo] The Secret Service on Thursday said its investigation into how cocaine ended up at the White House is now closed without identifying a suspect. The agency statement came after congressional Republicans said they were told in a classified Secret Service briefing that the investigation into the cocaine found in the White House West Wing earlier this month was concluding without a determination of who was responsible. "There was no surveillance video footage found that provided investigative leads or any other means for investigators to identify who may have deposited the found substance in this area," the agency said in a lengthy statement. "Without physical evidence, the investigation will not be able to single out a person of interest from the hundreds of individuals who passed through the vestibule where the cocaine was discovered. At this time, the Secret Service's investigation is closed due to a lack of physical evidence." The Secret Service said the packaging was "subjected to advanced fingerprint and DNA analysis," by the FBI crime lab. "The investigation included a methodical review of security systems and protocols," the agency statement said. "This review included a backwards examination that spanned several days prior to the discovery of the substance and developed an index of several hundred individuals who may have accessed the area where the substance was found. The focal point of these actions developed a pool of known persons for comparison of forensic evidence gleaned from the FBI's analysis of the substance's packaging. "On July 12, the Secret Service received the FBI's laboratory results, which did not develop latent fingerprints and insufficient DNA was present for investigative comparisons," the statement said. Following Thursday's closed-door briefing to members and staff of the House Oversight Committee, Republicans said they viewed the development as a "failure" of the agency and said the briefers said the investigation was concluding. |

| #12 And to think it was Joe Biden who wanted extra criminal penalties for crack cocaine. Well, I guess that makes it alright if Hunter only goes for the powder. |

| #11 When honor cannot hold against rank criminal intimidation and careerism, the prognosis is terminal, and protestations of integrity are mere noise. When in doubt, trust your instincts, because all government will do is give the wink-wink, nudge-nudge smirk. |

| #9 Did we ever find out which of the 38 possible people leaked the Supreme Court brief? or who dropped off the Jan 5th pipe bombs? or how many Deep State provocateurs were in the Capital on Jan 6th.... The list grows by the day. |
