Cocaine in the White House

“Dear Howie, having appreciatively listened to your podcasts for several years, I am very disappointed in your lack of critical thinking about discovery of cocaine at the White House on Sunday July 2. Let’s look at data: 1. Hunter Biden is a known cocaine user. 2. He knows he can get away with almost everything, including knowing he will not be searched at any time coming or going to the WH so that he can bring in whatever he wants. 3. He has a record of doing extremely foolish things, apparently a combination of extremely poor judgment and not recognizing that he can get caught in situations that are not protected by the Biden administration. 4. Who else would be so foolish as to bring cocaine into the WH and why? Almost all other individuals would be searched. Some random staffer or tourist who uses cocaine is much more likely to keep and use it at home. 5. Some staffer or tourist who accidentally brought in and left cocaine would not have erased fingerprints from the plastic bag or left no DNA or other evidence, so the Secret Service claiming they could not determine the culprit is unlikely.
When asked about the cocaine, WH deputy press secretary Andrew Bates invoked the Hatch Act, which is irrelevant to the question. Karine Jean-Pierre said the question was “irresponsible”, but never answered the question, i.e., did not deny that it could have been put there by Hunter Biden. She also said that the Bidens “They were not here. They were at Camp David. They were not here Friday, they were not here Saturday or Sunday, they were not even here Monday. ” 1. However the Bidens, including Hunter, were at the White House through Friday, so her statement is incorrect. 2. Also, Jean-Pierre saying the Bidens were not there when the cocaine was discovered implies that she thinks the cocaine was placed in the WH at about the same time it was discovered. That would further imply that the person who placed it could still have been in the WH at the time. I doubt Jean-Pierre thinks any of this, just that her defense statements were a mix of irrelevant and silly.
The Secret Service claimed not to be able to find any forensic evidence, fingerprints, DNA, or surveillance photos to determine who placed the cocaine. An obvious implication of this is that anyone could bring in almost anything, e.g., anthrax or C4, both with deadly consequences. Do you think neither the Secret Service nor anyone else has thought about that and instituted procedures to prevent such happening? Now the Department of Homeland Security has denied an FOIA request because “disclosure could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings”. Since the case is closed, there aren’t any enforcement proceedings.
As a scientist who routinely has to evaluate data, I conclude that Hunter Biden placing the cocaine in the WH is by far the most likely explanation, if the Secret Service was unable to determine the culprit it is only because they deliberately avoided doing so, and that they are lying. The alternative that someone else brought in and left cocaine is silly. I suspect much of the country thinks similarly. This just further erodes any trust we have in government.”

“Love the podcast and listen each day, but miss the occasional guests, Mollie Hemingway and Emily Jashinsky. Howie is fine on his own, but Mollie and Emily added another opinion and voice.”

“Mexican can and should protect its borders.
Folks are literally marching through Mexico to get to the US border. The President is correct, a sovereign nation such as Mexico has means to address the issue, but they chose not to.”
