    The only thing surprising about this is that they’re surprised enough to investigate it. I suppose they’d need to ensure that any initially unknown substance isn’t dangerous, but I expect there has been and will continue to be a lot of cocaine done in and near the White House.

      They went into shut down procedures, so they have to investigate. Doubtful anyone is surprised, someone is just angry that a staffer caused the situation to begin with.
