Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, two sources familiar with the incident, including a law enforcement source, told CNN.
The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant.
The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
Because the Russians are not dumb as fuck, and they would be the ones setting it up.
People have accidentally picked up drop bags before, it wouldn’t be the first time that the wrong person got one.
It would be the first time anyone was dumb enough to report one missing.
I don’t think that’s even what happened necessarily, I’m just saying it’s not impossible. This could all just be a distraction but from something else. In the scenario where it’s a drop, I imagine it would probably be a successful drop from the Russian agent to Noem, followed by Noem being dumb enough to confirm the money was there, then stay to eat after the drop and be surprised when somebody walks off with her bag full of cash.
It could also just be somebody from the press paying Noem and her being the leak the whole time, after she’s been threatening federal employees with polygraphs.
In this scenario, I imagine Noem taking a bribe, giving information, a journalist saying fuck this lady she’s scum, I’m walking off with this money, and Noem getting pissed and thinking she’s above the law anyway, why not report it stolen
I mean, yeah, you do have a point.
