| Secret Service vet on WH cocaine: 'Somebody's stopping this from being thoroughly investigated' |
| 2023-07-23 |
| [Just The News] A security expert who worked with the Secret Service for over 20 years says he's "surprised" the agency is closing the investigation into how cocaine was found at "one of the most secure buildings in the world" without identifying any suspects. In briefing Congress earlier this month about the July Fourth weekend discovery at the White House, the agency said it did not conduct interviews as part of its internal investigation, citing the roughly 500 potential suspects, and that it planned to close the probe in the coming weeks. "I'm surprised because we're talking about agents who are extremely intelligent, dedicated and exceptional criminal investigators," Charles Marino, a former supervisory special agent, told Just the News last week. "If you tell them to go out and get to the end of something, that's exactly what they're going to do." He also said: "You've got a designated timeframe, you've got the holiday ... in which this occurred. We're fairly certain that this item did not linger for a long period of time in the West Wing, based on the security measures that we know are in place in terms of checking on that area and conducting sweeps." |

| #7 I suspect that you have to tick someone off to get the Hunter assignment. If you mess that up, you will be driving north to partake of the thankless Hillary detail. |

| #6 Perfect summation in a phrase -"... protecting principals with principles. over the years, the USSS turned a blind-eye to lots of misbehavior's, mostly involving the Presidential libido, especailly among democrats. But the Puppet Show has installed a residential nightmare, whose behaviors plumb new depths of shamelessness. I suspect even for the most disciplined Secret Service Agent, witnessing the behaviors is challenging for their gag reflex! (my father was on the PPD for Roosevelt and Truman, so I know the mindset well) |

| #3 It is not the job of the Secret Service to provide scandalous truth to the American people. Neither is it their job to facilitate illegality. This is a very bad situation for them because the drug drop was done sloppily and the test results were broadcast in the clear. Their job description was written with the idea that they would be protecting principals with principles. |
