From what I've heard about the secret service they were probably at the bar getting plastered. The thief probably had no idea who she was. Or....
This was an arranged dead drop to pass Intel off to Russia. This way the narrative is she was robbed, not just giving a package to some rando. No evidence to back that up, just wild internet speculation for your Tuesday morning.
Not very secure, is she?
Also, according to our own laws, she was doing something unlawful because why would she need $3,000 in cash?! They'd civil forfeiture that shit if a normal person got caught with that much cash on them.
Sounds like it was taken via citizen’s civil forfeiture 😊
Yeah, when I served on a jury, the prosecutor was very clear that the only reason someone carried more than $100 in cash was for drugs or other illicit dealings.
Hope you voted to acquit.
Edit: ducking autocorrect.
She runs the Department of Homeland Security, not Restaurantland Security.
$3k in cash? Her coke habit is expensive
Seriously, who tf carries that much cash and is a govt employee without being up to something very sheisty
She hasn't had a chance to deposit that bribe yet. After all, she had just received it there in the restaurant.
It's a definite warning sign when a person has that much ready cash on them.
i cannot think of why someone one at her level of government would need to hold $3000 on them
I can't imagine why anyone, in this day and age, would have that much cash on them unless they're directly going to buy something or just sold something.
Even then she’s a cabinet secretary someone else should hold onto the cash unless no one else can know about it
I thought using cash like that was a sign of criminality?Or does that only apply to minorities? You better believe any cop out there would confiscate that shit from any of us faster than you can say civil asset forfeiture. It was certainly a point of contention for Fanni Willis during the Trump trial.
I carry cash often because I play poker on the weekends as a hobby. It's funny how stigmatized paying cash for anything over $100 has become. People are always surprised to see it, and you definitely catch some judgemental looks.
Really? I don't do it a ton because I don't really like carrying cash, but I can't think of a time when someone's looked at me weird, my dealer practically insists on it and the local tradesmen all seem to like it so much they give me a discount.
I carry cash in small amounts because some restaurants prefer cash to avoid the credit card fee
She has a Secret Service detail, and still managed to get robbed? I hope she feels real safe going out in public knowing that they can't even protect her purse.
Cojones on that thief though...
Looks like drop off of state secrets to russian agent made to look like a theft. What better way than in plain sight and blame it on a thief.
Immediately thought of that. Drop off bribe.
Why was she carrying around $3k? Nothing illegal about that but that is a little curious.
Bribe money
That’s where your mind goes?
It’s for coke
That sounds more likely.
They aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe it's a bribe she received that she planned to spend on coke?
She claims she took out that money to celebrate Easter with family... for dinner, activities, and gifts.
I use a credit card for such things, but yeah.
I guess in her defense, if you're involved in the destruction of the U.S. economy, you never know when the economy might collapse and credit cards will no longer be accepted.
Still, you would think she would just carry around bars of solid gold or something.
It's illegal if the cop who finds it on you says it's illegal.
Damn. They just eating these opsec L’s
I've got $5 that says she just misplaced it.
Good. She fascist trash & there literally aren't enough bad things in the world that can happen to her.
A puppy killer too let's never forget. About as comic book villain as one can get.
I didn't see a video. I'm going to assume Noem pocketed the cash and there's no "man in the medical mask."
Lmfao what a fucking loser
I give up trying to write satire. You just can't beat the real thing.
Medication? Sounds like someone needs to attend a wellness farm to remove themselves from the teat of BiG pHaRmA
Good. Just a shame she didn’t choke to death, slowly.
Kripi Gnoem is insecure in her deeply-beloved homeland!!!
I hope they donate it to an animal shelter
