White House Allies Call Cocaine Story ‘Political Fodder,’ House Republicans Open Investigation
House Oversight Committee: “This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House.”
I am not letting go of this story. I’m glad the House Republicans opened an investigation.
White House allies opened up to The Hill, brushing aside the story they’d be up in arms about if Trump was president. Then again, I know the Republicans would probably do the same, but hey. Trump isn’t president, and his children don’t have a cocaine-filled past.
One source close to the administration, however, said it was handling the situation “very well.”
“It’s all political fodder right now, political bull s***,” the source said.
“I think it’s comical. Of course, you’re going to do what you need to do. Any time the opposition has a way to lean in and provide some type of antidote or response that’s going to get people wired up — they’re going to do so,” the source added.
I must say…I agree with Kaleigh McEnany: “There is no way, it is inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72-hour period [at The White House], so I would rule him out at this point.”
Plus, Hunter wouldn’t need to empty his pockets or go through security.
But who knows? He might have given the cocaine to someone.
Either way, everything is suspicious. The location of the cocaine has changed three times: residence’s library, service entrance, secure area near the Situation Room.
I also wondered how the story even got out. I know evacuating the White House and closing off streets would bring attention, but why didn’t they lie about the reason? Seems fishy to me.
We also learned the White House isn’t nearly as secure as we thought.
No one thinks we’ll ever find out who brought the cocaine into the White House, which makes me think coverups or having drugs, even ones as horrible as cocaine, in the White House, are not uncommon.
We also don’t know how much cocaine officials found.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) sent questions to the Secret Service yesterday. The first question should bring forth interesting answers: “Who has access to the White House complex without passing through any security screening? Please provide a complete list of all such individuals.”
Today, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) sent his own letter to Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle:
The presence of illegal drugs in the White House is unacceptable and a shameful moment in the White House’s history. According to a senior law-enforcement official, the cocaine was found in a storage facility that is “routinely used by White House staff and guests to store cell phones.” According to reports, USSS agents discovered a suspicious white powder inside the White House, prompting an evacuation of White House staff and personnel. The substance has since been confirmed to be cocaine.
This incident has raised additional concerns with the Committee regarding the level of security maintained at the White House. In order to assist the Committee with its investigation, please provide a staff level briefing on this matter by July 14, 2023. You may contact the Committee at (202) 225-5074 to schedule the briefing.
The White House said the Secret Service started an investigation by checking visitor logs and security cameras.
My conspiracy theorist mind is still going into overtime.

why is no one asserting the coke was in all 3 of those places.
I mean… Hunter….
geeze is that really a stretch? Secret service already retrieved a pistol from a garbage can for him.
“He’s the smartest man I know (when it comes to new and outrageous ways to embarrass me).
So just who is the smartest of the two, the “Commander in Chief” or his son the “Crack head in Chief”? Our White house has been turned into a crack house and all the dems can say is “ho hum”? Boggles the mind.
I wonder if the hookers have to sign the guest book and leave their nose candy in that locker, when they go there to get in the hot tub with Hunter?
This motley crew is disgracing the nation’s White House by their presence in it. The fumigators will have to come and clean the place when they leave it. At least JFK’s tastes ran to high class women, not street walkers like Hunter’s crowd.
Nothing, absolutely NOTHING, would shock me right now with this story.
This just in: 52 former directors and asst directors of FBI CIA NCS DoJ DOE and National Parks signed a document certifying that reports of cocaine in the White House is Russian Disinformation.
The best reason I heard about why it couldn’t be Hunter’s is that if it was he would have already snorted it and the bag would’ve been empty.
Another liberal is caught with their hand in the cookie jar and the left’s only response is ” nothing to see here”.
And there will be much harrumphing in the land.
Perhaps Kamala Harris will give a speech and we will live happily ever after.
That would be nice. I was thinking of a light dinner and salad world be nice.
Kamala could make a word salad.
With Raunch dressing.
Yuk!
Maybe we shouldn’t care… maybe when something really bad happens to anyone there presently… maybe we shouldn’t care then either.
Reagan spoke in the horseshoe in 1984 at the Univ of South Carolina during my glorious freshman year.
I’ll admit…I gave it to Ronnie with the admonition to stop by the ZBT house for a post-address party and he instead was whisked off when leftist agitators outside the gates were chanting “1234, we don’t want your dirty war”. Ronnie called me later to apologize and say he left my gift to him in the cloak he wore when he was awarded the honorary Doctorate degree. It lay undisturbed until last week when Hunter found it by accident and it dropped out of his pocket, sprouted eight tiny legs and became oddly mobile. Sorry, y’all…that Peruvian Flake was powerful! It was all my fault. Mas oui!
If a stash of illegal dope had been found in President Trump’s White House, the contemptible, water-carrying, selectively outraged media lapdogs/trained seals/shills and hypocrites would be engaged in their usual howls of outrage and histrionics. But, because a Dumb-o-crat President is in office, these reprobates can’t be bothered to criticize the situation, much less condemn it.
“It’s all political fodder right now”
“The location of the cocaine has changed three times: residence’s library, service entrance, secure area near the Situation Room.”
And now, apparently, the White House Stables.
Just a hop, skip and a jump to Mar-a-lago, as the FIB flies…
Lab tests reveal a new species of cocaine found in White House has legs and is able to move on its own.
Has anyone checked to see if there is a tie to the Wuhan Institute of Virology, and has the evidence had it’s Furin cleavage site inspected for gain of function modification? It keeps evolving into different locations.
What does it really matter at this point. Just like the largely forgotten Supreme Court leak of the Dobbs decision this to shall be forgotten in a month or two and nobody will worry about where this cocaine came from.
White House calls cocaine political fodder.
Hunter calls it nasal fodder.
Snort! Snort!
Just stop lying about EVERYTHING.
Why?
It works every time!
REPORTER: Is the Biden Administration embarrassed about cocaine being found in the White House?
KARINE JEAN PIERRE: No. That was not some cheap cocaine you can pick up off the street. Lab tests have confirmed it to be the highest quality cocaine available.
Maybe try not doing things that might become “political fodder”?
Of course it’s political fodder. Nothing wrong with that.
FFS a bag of coke laying around in the west wing means either:
1. Security measures at the WH suck
2. Someone who can bypass security left it
Either of those is problem. Maybe it’s the same mysterious individual who left the ‘device’ at the DNC on J6 who still hasn’t been identified?
Hunter believes that the Director of Secret Service, who was formerly the head of security for Pepsi, has it in for him because he prefers coke.
I know next to nothing about cocaine and crack, but just from what I have read online, big difference from using crack vs powdered cocaine. Hunter was (? is) addicted to crack. I’m sure some people, perhaps more casual users, might use both at different times, but I suspect Hunter almost always went for the intense high from crack. I doubt the cocaine was his.
From the Presidential Clue Expansion pack: The administration was offed by the crackhead son, in the library, with a bag of cocaine.
When the authorities can’t find a thing, the Repubs ought to call into Congress the head of the Secret Service and Mayorkas, whom she reports to, and ask the following question, “Why do you still have jobs, if security is so poor at the White House that this could have been anthrax and you would have no idea who was responsible?”
Clearly, it was the same guy who left the pipe bombs at the DNC and RNC headquarters.
Sneaky bastard.
Breaking News! The White House just announced that the mysterious bag of cocaine was actually found in a cardboard box labeled “Donald Trump’s Stuff!”
