Kayleigh McEnany, Donald Trump’s former chihuahua, er I mean White House press secretary and current Fox News whatever seems to view herself as an amateur sleuth, and she’s all over that Joe Biden/Hunter Biden cocaine brouhaha that happened just over a week ago at the White House. Which was briefly closed on July 2 after Secret Service agents found a snowy white powder. Turns out it actually is snow, as in the kind that is generally snorted, not the stuff that’s produced when the weather gets cold.

Queerty reports it still isn’t known how the cocaine wound up in the White House but in a press conference last Wednesday, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that tours of the West Wing were going on all weekend while Biden and his family were away. She added the situation is currently being handled.

“Let the Secret Service do their job,” Jean-Pierre said. “It’s under their purview. We have confidence that they’ll get to the bottom of it.”

Actually, other conservatives have turned into amateur sleuths, trying to work this out on their own. Mainly by doing everything in typical right-wing fashion by making crazy accusations and espousing cuckoo for cocoa puffs conspiracy theories on the always unquestioning Fox News. But McEnany seems to be leading the pack here.

And Fox News was more than happy to blurt this out on Twitter.

“SEASONED FEEDBACK: @kayleighmcenany calls out Karine Jean-Pierre for her ‘inexcusable’ briefing on cocaine being discovered in the White House.”

When McEnany declared last week that there was “no way” the cocaine belonged to Hunter Biden, despite his past struggles with addiction, her fans were a bit unhappy. If there’s one thing connies love, it’s talking about his former drug addiction.

“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,” she said Thursday on Fox and Friends.

So there.

McEnany hasn’t given up the search, no sirree. Monday she told Sean Hannity she’s whittled down the number of suspects. Well, sort of, anyway.

She’s kept an eye on media reports, and she’s knowledgeable about the layout of the White House. So the sleuth wanna-be has decided that the cocaine was found near the Situation Room, an area that only the staff has access to.

“I would say at this point, it would have to be a staff member,” she has deduced.

So, Queerty wondered, “What should the Secret Service do now?”

I don’t know. Maybe investigate whether or not Donald Trump Jr. visited the White House around that time.

I’m kidding. Sort of.

But McEnany explains why she thinks this scenario could have happened.

“There are no cameras inside the West Wing, so that makes it much more difficult. But sit down every staff member—this was on a Sunday, very light foot traffic—sit down every staff member who had access to that area and try to figure it out.

Um…isn’t that what Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters that investigators are doing exactly that? I mean, as in “Let the Secret Service do their job. It’s under their purview. We have confidence that they’ll get to the bottom of it.”

So then McEnaney went loopity-loo, saying she assumes the Secret Service is doing what Jean-Pierre has already said they are doing. Then Hannity upped the hysteriosity by asking, “God forbid, what if [the cocaine] had fentanyl in it?” And I don’t want to adult anymore.

But I don’t know why McEnany is still so obsessed with this, and per Queerty “what she thinks those in charge should be doing differently when they’re already doing everything she says they should be doing.”

We should know more later this week. Spectrum News is reporting the Secret Service will brief Congress around 10 a.m. Thursday and that the investigation will likely be officially closed by the end of the week.

Looks like McEnany will have to find something else to obsess over.

Oh, and apologies to chihuahuas everywhere.

SCOOP : @RepJamesComer’s team tells me that the Secret Service briefing on the cocaine found at the White House is now set for this Thursday at 10am.
