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

As we reported on Thursday, the Secret Service said they were closing the case because they couldn’t figure out who brought the cocaine into the West Wing of the White House. My colleague Sister Toldjah reported on the Secret Service’s official statement and how it just makes them look worse if they now want us to believe that they can’t find out who the culprit was.

On the evening of July 2, officers from the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division found an unknown substance inside a vestibule leading to the lobby area of the West Executive Avenue entrance to the White House.

The substance was located inside a receptacle used to temporarily store electronic and personal devices prior to entering the West Wing. [….]

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. 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.

This also wasn’t the first time people brought drugs into the Biden White House either, as I reported, which raises a big problem showing a continual hole in the security they are not addressing. While they whittled down possibilities to include 500 names, they said they couldn’t get any physical evidence off the bag. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) called for a drug test of the 500 people.

Let’s also not forget that White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre scolded the media as “irresponsible” for asking whether the cocaine was Joe or Hunter Biden’s, saying that the family wasn’t there that weekend, including Friday. The press pool busted that, noting the family, including Hunter, was there on Friday before they left for the weekend.

But it does look like they’re shutting it down before our eyes and daring someone to do something about it.

Fox’s Jesse Watters didn’t believe it any more than the rest of us do.

“What if this was ricin?” he asked. “This means the Secret Service wouldn’t be able to tell who brought ricin into the White House.” Yes, that sounds exactly like what it means. Some security or cover-up, you decide. “The Secret Service has a $3 billion a year budget. And they can’t solve a case that a local county detective can solve like that,” he said, snapping his fingers. He noted how Democrats are satisfied with this malarkey, but Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene pointed out how it was a “pass holder” or someone brought in by a pass holder, not a random visitor. And we all know that if this had happened during the Trump administration, Democrats would be screaming their heads off and demanding everyone take tests.

But Watters also made another interesting point that is going to raise more questions: The current head of the Secret Service, Kimberly Cheatle, who was picked by Biden and took over in September 2022, used to be on Biden’s security detail when he was Vice President.

I am proud to announce that I have selected Kim Cheatle to be the next Director of the United States Secret Service. Kim has had a long and distinguished career at the Secret Service, having risen through the ranks during her 27 years with the agency, becoming the first woman in the role of Assistant Director of protective operations.

Jill and I know firsthand Kim’s commitment to her job and to the Secret Service’s people and mission. When Kim served on my security detail when I was Vice President, we came to trust her judgement and counsel. She is a distinguished law enforcement professional with exceptional leadership skills, and was easily the best choice to lead the agency at a critical moment for the Secret Service. She has my complete trust, and I look forward to working with her.

We thank Director Murray for his service to this country, and wish him and his family well as he takes the next step in his career.

So we went from some in the Secret Service saying things that the Jan. 6 Committee didn’t like last year, and the guy who was in charge then retiring to Biden appointing this new person who had been on his team. I’m sure that there’s no problem there. We see how politicized the FBI has become, has the Secret Service now also been compromised?
