Secret Service vet on WH cocaine: ‘Somebody’s stopping this from being thoroughly investigated’

“If you’re not going to interview them, then all 500 people should never be allowed back in the White House again because they’re all suspects,” the former supervisory special agent says.

Asecurity 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 days.

“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 this 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.”

He also posed the question: “Why is this being treated as if this dime bag or eight ball of cocaine was found on a street corner in a major city? And why isn’t it being treated that this was found in the White House? And also, if you didn’t think it was a threat, or could be a threat, why was the hazmat team called?”
