https://www.notus.org/congress/heritage-foundation-employee-faces-drug-possession-charge-after-capitol-hill-screening

A Heritage Foundation employee faces a drug-possession charge after a security screening at a Senate office building turned what tested presumptively positive as cocaine and fentanyl, according to court records.

Capitol Police officers detained Matthew Christopher Wingate on July 14 after he entered the Russell Senate Office Building and placed his bag on the X-ray belt as part of routine screening, according to an affidavit filed in Washington, D.C., superior court.

Wingate is the government-relations director for defense and foreign policy at the Heritage Foundation, and previously worked as a national security adviser for Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) and a military legislative assistant for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), according to Legistorm.

An officer observed an image consistent with a pistol magazine inside the brown briefcase, and a secondary screening found a magazine with 10 rounds of 9 mm ammunition, the affidavit states.

Officers placed him under arrest, the affidavit states. That was apparently because of the magazine. Firearms and ammunition are generally prohibited from being carried into Senate office buildings.

Officers ran a check through the Metropolitan Police Department’s Gun Registry Unit, which confirmed Wingate held a valid license to carry a firearm in D.C., the affidavit states.

A crime-scene officer discovered a plastic sandwich bag in the exterior pocket of the briefcase containing four capsules and three blue-pressed tablets, the affidavit states. Field testing of the blue pills, which were imprinted with the letter “A” on one side and “7 6” on the other side, returned a presumptive positive result for cocaine and fentanyl, the affidavit states.

>Trump's former press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany said, "For it to be Hunter Biden, he left on Friday, he was at Camp David, there is no way, it is inconceivable to think cocaine could sit for a 72-hour-period so I would rule him out at this point."
well i guess that settles that

>>1525816
That article says it wasn't Hunter Biden's coke.

>>1525819
So who's coke was it?
And who really killed Seth Rich?
>>
>>1525822
Don Jr's cocaine, and Seth Rich's parents say he was killed by an unknown armed robber.
>>
>>1525823
I heard that Seth Rich still had his watch, wallet, phone and credit cards when he was found by the police, so what did that unknown armed robber rob?
>>
>>1525824
There were too many witnesses. The robbers had to flee, which is why the cops never caught them.

It's almost like these guys don't care about the law or something. Weird.

Anyone who believes this conspiracy has 1) never read the police report, 2) doesn't know basic human psychology, and 3) doesn't know how to plan a hit.
As per the police report, the police responded in approximately one minute (thanks to new shot triangulation tech that had been installed the year prior as well as a general increase in police patrols in that time frame due to previous similar robberies), Seth was not only still alive when the cops arrived but he was able to communicate with them, and he lived long enough to make it to the hospital but unfortunately died there.
Now on to human psychology: you just accidentally turned your armed robbery into a murder. You can already hear the sirens because you're an idiot who decided to pull the same crime too many times in the same neighborhood at the same time of night. Do you A) take the time to go through the dude's pockets for valuables that will link you back to the crime if found or B) get the fuck out.
As per planning a hit, why the fuck would you A) use an unsuppressed gun in a neighborhood with shot triangulation, B) choose peak cop patrol time (and time it so badly that a cop is practically outside the door when you shoot your gun), and most importantly C) LEAVE WITH THE GUY STILL ALIVE AND LUCID.

The entire fucking conspiracy falls apart with that last point I swear to god anyone who believes it is a total fucking retard holy shit.
>>
>>1525832
On the other hand, if there are as many cameras in Washington DC as you say, that the police were able to respond within 1 minute to his shooting, why have they never been able to find and charge a suspect? Like if it took approximately one minute for officers to arrive at the scene in the city which is #2 in the country for the highest surveillance camera density, how could the cops not find the suspect? Or get any clues which would lead to his arrest?
>>
>>1525833
Surveillance video is not nearly as good as they want you to believe it is. They almost always need to combine it with a bunch of other evidence and get witnesses to corroborate the footage.

>>1525824
So it was the Russians that killed him.
Speaking of Russia, they're using the same tactics to deflect from the fact that the fascist at Project 2025 and trump's regime are drug addicts.
>>
>>1525583
It's a given that far right conservatives are corrupt and criminals.
A leader of project 2025 who is trying to further consolidate right wing fascist control of the media was caught taking big bribes from a republican billionaire.
https://www.propublica.org/article/paramount-mergers-fcc-kennedy-center-gala

Of course the republican biased media totally ignored this corruption.
>>
>>1525861
You do know if this was a Democrat you'd be chanting "legalize all drugs" or something and not even care, right?
>>
>>1525816
Hey it's called the white house for a reason.
>>
>>1525858
It's kind of unhinged to blame everything bad that happens on the Russians.
>>
>>1525872
It's funny to see democrats embrace mccarthyism though. Especially since a lot of them are unironic communists.
>>
>>1525873
Projection.
>>
>>1525862
There's nothing wrong with wanting people to be subjected to the policies they advocate for.
>>
>>1525874
You don't understand what that word means.
>>
>>1525876
Do tell.
>>
>>1525833
We actually do have surveillance footage, but as >>1525836 says the quality wasn't good enough to positively ID the suspects beyond "two males." As to why the officers didn't pursue the suspects despite their quick response time, what would you rather do as police officer: chase two armed men, or render first aid to a gunshot victim? More officers arrived on the scene later, but by that time the suspects were in the wind.

Also for context 30% of murders that year were unsolved in DC. Unsolved cases like Seth's are sadly not uncommon, he just happened to be a DNC staffer which drew extra scrutiny to the failure of the police to solve the case.
>>1525858
Fuck off retard. My arguments have been perpetrator neutral, because the conspiracy is retarded no matter who the alleged conspirator is. I personally don't want to argue alleged conspirator motive because that inevitably invites political bias where everyone refuses to listen to reason because their personal political demon just HAS to have done it, even if it runs counter to the alleged conspirators own goals.
>>
>>1525875
Project2025 probably leans more libertarian, you dirty ditch pig.
>>
>>1525874
I'm not sure that Republicans are the real communists projecting their beliefs onto Democrats
>>
>>1525862
>Whataboutism
Why are Project 2025 and the Russians exactly the same?
>>
>>1525881
Good for you admit the Russians killed him because the Russians were, and are still conspiring with trump.
>>
>>1525879
Do you think the republicans are secret communists?
Don't be retarded.
>>
>>1525941
I remember the Mueller Probe spending years examining connections between Trump and Russia
I don't remember that investigation revealing any conspiring or collusion. There didn't seem to be any go between passing messages between Trumps campaign and Russia.
>>
>>1525941
>"Anyone who believes this conspiracy is retarded, regardless of their preferred conspirator boogeyman"
>SO THAT MEANS YOU ADMIT THE RUSSIANS KILLED HIM
Thank you for proving my point that you are a fucking moron, like everyone else who believes this conspiracy. Let me be crystal clear: due to the facts of the case and understanding basic human nature, Seth Rich was killed in a robbery gone wrong. There is no conspiracy because no good conspirator would choose that time or method to kill him, and they most certainly would not have left the building with him still breathing and lucid.

To you specifically, I have NEVER seen the Russians accused in this conspiracy before this very thread. I can't even fathom the logic behind it as we now know that the email leak was conducted using a phishing attack, not an inside man (which is why this conspiracy died for the most part: getting phished is way more embarrassing for the DNC than a murder conspiracy).

Why are you seething over the fact trump conspired with the Russians?
>Russia, if you're listening

>>1526010
>Trump goes to Dixieland for a photo op and says "Elvis if you're listening" during his speech
>The next day the media is full of news stories about how Trump is colluding with Elvis l
>>
>>1526010
The funny part is I never said Trump wasn't. And it's genuinely amsuing, because I don't like him OR the Russians, but I'm not enough of a drooling retard to accuse them of things they didn't do just because I don't like either of them. So I'm not going to magically agree with your stupid conspiracy, even if I don't like the same people you don't, because tribalism is for morons.

Accuse your enemies of crimes they actually commit, false accusations only make them look better and you worse.
>>
>>1525583
>Project 2025
Not news, not in the headline, off-topic.
>>
>>1526057
>I think there's no evidence Trump colluded with Russia. Trump who actively worked to destabilize and undercut nato and constantly tries to negotiate favorable terms with Russia to end their war of aggression. Trump who kept boxes and boxes of classified documents in his private bathroom. Trump, who was mysteriously supported by Russian numbers calling in bomb threats to democratic areas during the last election. Trump of whom Putin has been reported having a picture of him blowing bubba. Nope, there's absolutely no evidence of Russian blackmail or collusion of any kind, I'm a fucking moron!
