Has to be Hunter's, right?

Maybe it was left over from Jimmy Carter's staff... I thought you learned libertarian.

Amid all the festivities aboard the Delta Queen, there came an ominous telephone call for President Carter at about 8:15 last Thursday night. It was the new Attorney General, Benjamin Civiletti. He regretfully told the President a stunning piece of news: he had just ordered the FBI to undertake a preliminary investigation of Carter’s two closest White House aides, Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan and Press Secretary Jody Powell. The reason: an allegation that Jordan had snorted cocaine during a visit to New York City’s Studio 54, a celebrated disco club — the first version of the story said in April 1978 — and that Powell had been with him at the time.

Seems to me it could be any number of people with access to the area.
When White House staff go to work I imagine they go through some sort of metal detector but are they searched every day for "white powder"?

I actually started this to prevent Ben/TCSU from writing a novel about this. I don't really give a shit what Hunter does. It's his life.

I figured Don Jr. left it behind.

In my misspent youth losing track of your blow was not an option. Cost too much and frankly disappeared too fast.

Well, that's 180 degrees in the opposite direction from the lefty-lesions' output on the subject of the previous presidents' children when he was in office.

Lest we forget.

Thing is they were given actual roles and things to do. Biden hasn’t done the same thing.

You mean this douchebag? I pay attention when he gouges the American People...

The Trump Organization appears to have overcharged the Secret Service for stays at Trump-owned properties by agents protecting the then-president. The charges exceeded the government's approved rate, according to the House Oversight Committee, which says Secret Service records show payments totaling over $1.4 million.

"The exorbitant rates charged to the Secret Service and agents' frequent stays at Trump-owned properties raise significant concerns about the former President's self-dealing and may have resulted in a taxpayer-funded windfall for former President Trump's struggling businesses," Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney wrote in a letter to Kimberly Cheatle, the service's director.

According to the documents, the Secret Service was charged as much as $1,185 per room per night, nearly five times the government rate, which is set by the General Services Administration.

This is a far cry from what Trump Organization Executive Vice President Eric Trump claimed in 2020 — that rooms were provided "at cost" to the Secret Service.

Someone in Washington is using narcotics?

This is an outrage. I am outraged.

That information could not be derived from this story.

Cocaine is a Schedule 2 controlled substance, but it is not a narcotic.

Saw that & all posts not blocked before I posted; even read the lossless intelligent AP bit fully, too, thanks.

One can count on those always circling the wagons to help prove the point made by an outsider.

When a press secretary claims they cannot comment on a situation like this because of the Hatch Act, you know they're hiding something.

You're gonna tell me that in one of the most secure buildings in the world, they don't know who put it there?
