They know the rules they just don't fucking give a damn.

Is that why the Heritage Foundation is so popular with the GOP?

Cocaine, fentanyl and Ted Cruz, somehow it all makes sense

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.

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.

Under questioning, Wingate said he forgot the magazine was in the briefcase and “explained that the drugs were his and were prescribed to him from a medical professional,” the affidavit states.

A doctor prescribed you a pill that is both fentanyl and cocaine and you forgot it was in there with your 9mm clip. Well. As One Does.

I suppose we were due for a Jeff Gannon cycle. Since the Epstein files are under the DOJs illegal hold.

The real fun will be seeing the corporate news sewers report this without reporting it or following it in any way whatsoever.

...

the drugs were his and were prescribed to him from a medical professional

The term "medical professional" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting here. Let's get the name of the DOCTOR who was prescribing pills comprised of cocaine and fentanyl. Or maybe the "medical professional' is really just his drug dealer buddy Chuck, who makes a full-time living at it, making him a "medical professional," of sorts.

The party of Law & Order dum…dum…!!!

Shocked! Shocked I tell you!
