White House Evacuated - Cocaine found
-
Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Monday the Secret Service "destroyed" the bag containing cocaine at the White House and does not have enough DNA evidence to identify who may have left it there.
"[The Secret Service] don't even have the key from the locker [where the cocaine was found] and they said originally 'we didn't find enough DNA, now, and they went back and said, 'we didn't find any DNA,'" Burchett said during "The Chris Salcedo Show" on Monday, discussing a briefing on the controversial drug find and resulting probe. "Apparently, they destroyed the bag and any chance of getting any DNA."
He said that if something similar occurred while he was the mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, the police would have come in with "hazmat suits," put it into an evidence bag, and taken it to a lab for analysis.
"I was Knox County mayor," he said. "When we found an unknown substance somewhere, we called on law enforcement are sheriff's department, the best in the country, and our police department, one of the best in the country, obviously to come in with hazmat suits to put in the bag and take it to a lab. That's exactly what they should have done here. They should have taken it to Quantico and analyzed it, but instead, they destroyed the bag."

I once found a bag of weed on the grass next to the sidewalk near my house in California.
Thank God you're out of that shit-hole!
In TX, we execute people for having weed. As it should be.

Just When you thought the reputation of the FBI couldn’t get any worse.

Time for Rowe to go.

Wouldn't surprise me, although I'd peg her more as a pothead.
