      That is not it. Director of Secret Service wanted to remove evidence to avoid controversy at the Biden White House. This is political.

          Reminds me of the timeless Ronald Reagan quote:

          A few months ago I told the American people I did not trade arms for hostages. My heart and my best intentions tell me that’s true, but the facts and evidence tell me it is not.

        Yeah but so what? Only the most naive possible person would expect:

        • there to not be cocaine at the white house
        • for the Secret Service to not want to cover it up

        Who cares? You’re holding the power structure to a level of boy scout howdy-doody ethics that only exists in cartoons.

        Of course there’s cocaine at the white house, and of course the USSS tried to cover it up. I ain’t even mad about that.

        I find it hard to believe that a conservative — a political philosophy for adults who realize the world isn’t perfect and that political structure needs to adapt to that — would be upset about this.

        If you really think the secret service shouldn’t have tried to cover it up, why do you support people keeping their weapons? After all if we can expect the government to not break the rules, why have a second amendment?
