The mystery of who left cocaine in the West Wing has some Secret Service members "furious" about an abrupt end to a probe in which investigators likely "know exactly who it was," former agent Dan Bongino says.
In an interview with Daily Signal reporter Mary Margaret Olohan, who posted the exchange on Twitter, Bongino claimed "there's probably less than 200 people who could have left this cocaine."
The ex-intelligence agent noted the coke was "in a bag, which is plastic, which is nonporous, meaning it's probably not that hard to pull a latent print."
"They've got to know who did it," he asserted. "The question is, Who's pressuring them to not find out who did it? And it's gotta be coming from this White House. This is terrible."
The prospect had Bongino begging the Biden administration: "Don't destroy this agency like the FBI. It's really unbecoming."
"A lot of my former colleagues at the Secret Service who retired, they are absolutely furious about this," he told the news outlet.
"I got 50 emails, communications, texts from people. 'This is embarrassing, humiliating.' These are good guys, man, guys who worked for [former presidents Barack] Obama and [George W.] Bush, nonpartisan guys, most of them aren't even political. This is embarrassing, they know exactly who it was."
Pressed on whether those holding back don't want it come out it allegedly belonged to President Joe Biden's son, Hunter, Bongino said "the question is whether it was Hunter or one of his friends."
"I'm in the Secret Service for 12 years… We never had this problem," he said.
"So nobody, by Occam's razor, right, the process of deduction, keep it simple stupid, Occam's razor. You've got this guy, we never found coke in there before. You've got a dude who's doing coke on tape, who's got a reputation for being a coke addict. He's living in the White House. He's there on Friday. The coke's found there on Sunday, and everybody is like, Gosh, who could it be?"
