Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant | CNN Politics

You know who carries large amounts of cash?

People who get paid in cash.

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?

Can't even manage her own security, smh.

Oh no!

Anyways...

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.

The head of Homeland SECURITY doesn't have good enough security to keep her bag from being stolen?

Probably stolen by a member of her own security detail.

Fucking hilarious.

So qualified, she couldn’t even secure her own purse.

Why does her face make me uncomfortable

How the fuck is she going out in public and not being shot in the face? Honest question.

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

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.

More evidence that we are shifting from a Trickle Down Economy to a Robin Hood Economy (take from the rich, give to the poor).

I'd be willing to bet she just lost it and is blaming crime just as a deflection.

Damn that’s a lot of cash. I like to carry some cash for emergencies, but shit, $3000??

Department of Handbag Security Chief Fails to Secure Handbag.

Who goes out with $3k cash? Even if you are so wealthy that the quantity is like $20 for normal people, that's enough to make you a target if someone discovers you have it.

Hunter's Laptop people speaking up in 3...2....1.... wait where are they???

I mean unless her phone was in it... although who just walks around DC with $3k lmao

Cope harder, Garden Noem.

Do normal people routinely carry around $3,000 in cash? (Granted, that could just be the original Picasso that I swear was in the trunk of my Geo Metro when it was stolen).

That's an awful lot of cash to have. What do you need that for? Better "arrest" that money and take it down to the station.

(Not condoning civil asset forfeiture but def making fun of it).

The 80s called. They want their shoulder pads back.

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)_/¯

Why did the Homeland Security Secretary have $3,000 in cash in her purse?

So, she does coke? Why else do you need 3k in cash?

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.

Bribe gone bad, reported stolen.

oh no

Finally some good fuckin news

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.

I respect this.

Oh no! That's terrible. Anyway....

Such great OpSec...

Was this a targeted theft, or merely a crime of opportunity?

Who still carries a checkbook? Wtf

Police were able to recover the bag that only contained $500

This article is shit. Where was she when the bag was stolen? Was it not tied to her?
