    If a black guy was pulled over with that much cash, the cops would civil forfeiture it because it is obviously proceeds from drug dealing.

    I trust they are now investigating her ties to the drug trade?

    Everyone here focused on the cash for some reason.

    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.

    The only saving grace is they can lock out that one badge. Hopefully she reported it quickly.

    It’s about the info IN the bag, not the money. Crewde tials, phone, maybe ID. This was a targeted hit 100% because the world’s intelligence agencies now know how fucking stupid these people are.

    Like, dumb enough to not notice a tail, then get your bag stolen from a restaurant with all kinds of goodies in it dumb.

      But obviously it was stolen by a liberal, not a foreign agent, so you’re obviously wrong and stupid.

    Drug using dog killer obviously can’t be trusted, she was clearly on the way to buy more drugs. Lost more state secrets than Donald’s toilet library

    That is 100% some “no paper trail” money.

    Least shady thing you’re going to do with that money is to pay some undocumented contractors for work on your garden / home.

    So the completely unqualified, dog-killing, trump-butt-kissing, hateful, ignorant, worthless, lying, and corrupt piece of filth - who happens to be the secretary of homeland security got her bag stolen?

    I think this reaction sums it up best:

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      It’s called the uncanny valley. Some believe it’s an instinctual response to keep you away from corpses. Others say it’s more broadly an artifact from a time when humanity needed to be wary of things that looked human but weren’t…

    You can’t claim cash on insurance. Once it is gone, it is gone. You can’t put stop payments on it or trace it easily either. It is simply a loss for her.
