The Secret Service announces that its investigation into the source of cocaine at the White House is closed,

and they have no idea who did it.

Well, the investigation into who left cocaine at the White House has ended. And shock of shocks, there is no one who has been identified as a suspect. No one. There are no suspects whatsoever. So here's the thing. This is the most protected building on planet Earth.

I've been there multiple times. Their cameras pretty much everywhere. And now we are being told that a baggie of cocaine that was left in a pretty highly trafficked area, they have no idea who left that baggie of cocaine.

And they've closed the investigation after just 11 days. It is a mystery wrapped in an

enigma. According to the New York Post, the Secret Service ended its investigation into cocaine

found in the West Wing of the White House after just 11 days without identifying a suspect,

enraging congressional Republicans who demanded answers about how an illegal drug got into one

of the most secure buildings in the world. The protective agency said its probe was closed due to a lack of physical evidence. After FBI forensic testing on the bag, the cocaine was found and failed to turn up fingerprints or sufficient DNA, which in and of itself is a little bit weird. Why aren't there any fingerprints on the baggie would be an interesting question? I mean, you would imagine that might be true during the winter when people are wearing gloves walking into the White House, but it is the middle of the summer. So you'd imagine that

somebody had their hands on this thing 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, the service said. Now, as others have pointed out, if this

was anthrax, I don't think the Secret Service would be shutting down the investigation quite so quickly. Representative Tim Burchett of Tennessee stormed out of a briefing offered to lawmakers on the House Oversight Committee moments after it began, calling the conclusion bogus and the investigation a complete failure. He said they know who goes into the White House. They have facial identification. You can't go into the social, you can't go into the White House without giving your Social Security number

to say it's some weekend visitor. That's bogus.

Nobody exactly is buying any of that.

Meanwhile, Democrats are happy as clams that this investigation

is done. Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland says,

we're done here. There's nothing to see. It's all over.

I'm satisfied that the Secret Service and the White House are on top of it.
