Hunter got kicked out of the Navy for using cocaine. They know it's
his. Just do a nose swab and compare the shit.
Without physical evidence, the agency couldn't narrow the list of
possible suspects beyond 500 staffers and visitors and determined that interviewing all 500 wasn't worth it.
The Secret Service on Thursday announced it had closed its investigation
into who left a small packet of cocaine in the White House without
finding the culprit, and a spokesman for the agency told NBC News it did
so without conducting interviews.
The agency, along with the FBI, tested the packet to determine it was
cocaine and looked for any fingerprints or DNA evidence. But the tests
yielded no usable forensic evidence. Video footage of the area where the
baggie was found also provided no evidence to narrow the possible
suspects beyond a list of roughly 500 staff members and visitors who
passed through during a weekend earlier this month.
Secret Service spokesman Anthony Gugliemi said the agency determined
that interviewing all 500 people could be a strain on resources, might
infringe upon civil liberties and would likely be fruitless without corresponding physical evidence tying any person to the drugs.
“Yes, you could have a consensual interview,” he said, meaning the
interviews would be voluntary. “But we have no evidence to approach
them.”
Gugliemi said the small amount of cocaine, 208 milligrams or about .007
ounce, would only result in a misdemeanor charge in the District of
Columbia and the agency determined that did not warrant the expenditure
of resources it would take to interview 500 people.
The incident drew much public attention in recent days, including
criticism from Republicans who accused the Biden administration of not
doing enough to find the culprit.
Former President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday,
“Despite all of the cameras pointing directly at the ‘scene of the
crime,’ and the greatest forensics anywhere in the World, they just
can’t figure it out? They know the answer, and so does everyone else!”
Chuck Rosenberg, a former U.S. attorney and acting administrator of the
Drug Enforcement Administration under then-President Barack Obama, said
law enforcement agencies need to consider their resources when making
decisions about who and what to investigate.
“They could have done the interviews, but at the end of the day it’s a
long walk through dry sand,” said Rosenberg, an NBC News contributor.
“They have finite resources and it’s OK for them to decide some things
are worth their time and some things are not worth their time.”
