FBI Probes Cocaine, Pipe Bombs, More
The FBI, led by Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Director Kash Patel, is digging into scandals that make Washington’s swamp look like a kiddie pool.
According to Newsmax, three high-profile cases—the DC pipe-bombing, the cocaine discovery in the White House, and the May 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs decision leak—are under renewed scrutiny for potential public corruption. Bongino and Patel are pouring resources into these probes to chase fresh leads.
On January 5, 2021, a suspect planted pipe bombs near the Republican and Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, D.C., just hours before the Capitol unrest. These devices, viable and dangerous, could have wreaked havoc in Capitol Hill’s residential and commercial zones. Thankfully, they didn’t detonate, but the threat was real.
Pipe Bombs Threaten Capitol Hill
The pipe-bombing case remains unsolved, a nagging reminder of how close chaos came to erupting. Bongino’s weekly briefings suggest progress, but the suspect’s identity is still a mystery. It’s a case screaming for answers, and the FBI’s renewed focus might finally deliver.
Fast forward to July 2, 2023, when cocaine turned up in the White House’s West Wing, near a basement entrance used for tours. This wasn’t some forgotten stash in a broom closet—it was steps from the Situation Room, one floor below the Oval Office. The discovery raised eyebrows and questions about security in the nation’s most secure building.
The Secret Service investigated but hit a dead end—no fingerprints, no DNA, no suspect on surveillance. It’s almost as if the cocaine materialized out of thin air, which, let’s be honest, strains credulity. Actions have consequences, and someone’s dodging accountability.
Cocaine in the White House?
Bongino’s insistence on weekly updates signals the FBI isn’t buying the “nothing to see here” narrative. The cocaine case isn’t just about a baggie—it’s about trust in institutions already on shaky ground. If the White House can’t keep its halls clean, what else is slipping through the cracks?
Then there’s the May 2022 leak of the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision draft, which overturned Roe v. Wade. Chief Justice John Roberts confirmed the draft’s authenticity and launched an investigation, but the leaker remains at large. The breach shook the Court’s sanctity, and the public deserves to know who betrayed that trust.
Despite probes by the Supreme Court and the House Judiciary Committee, the Dobbs leaker’s identity is still unknown. It’s a scandal that screams for closure, yet the trail has gone cold—until now. Bongino and Patel’s renewed efforts might finally unearth the truth.
Supreme Court Leak Still Unsolved
Bongino and Patel are limiting media chatter to keep their focus on the investigations, a move that’s both refreshing and frustrating. “We decided early on to limit our media footprint overall to keep the attention on the work being done,” Bongino said. In a world obsessed with soundbites, their silence speaks volumes, but it better yield results.
Bongino’s office, a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, restricts phone access, making public engagement tricky. “I try to read as much of your feedback as possible, but the workday is busy,” he noted. It’s a weak excuse when transparency is on the line, but at least he’s owning it.
The duo’s only joint media interview since taking the helm shows they’re playing it close to the vest. “In response to feedback, both positive and negative, from our interview last week, we will be releasing more information,” Bongino promised. Don’t hold your breath for a tell-all, but it’s a start.
Bongino and Patel Push Forward
Bongino’s weekly briefings on these cases suggest movement, though details are scarce. “I receive requested briefings on these cases weekly, and we are making progress,” he claimed. Progress is great, but the public needs more than vague assurances to restore faith.
He’s also crowdsourcing tips, urging the public to contact the FBI with leads. “If you have any investigative tips on these matters that may assist us, then please contact the FBI,” Bongino said. It’s a bold move, but relying on citizen sleuths feels like a Hail Mary.
These cases—pipe bombs, cocaine, and a Supreme Court leak—aren’t just isolated incidents; they’re symptoms of a deeper rot. Bongino and Patel’s focus is a step toward accountability, but the clock’s ticking. If they don’t deliver, the public’s trust, already threadbare, will fray further.
