White House staffer Michael Hopkins, communications director for NY Democrat representative Joe Morelle, is arrested at the white house for attempting to smuggle in several high capacity magazines and ammunition before trump takes office.
I wonder what he was plotting.
https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/02/congress/house-staffer-arrested-00192151 House staffer arrested Monday for entering Capitol complex with ammunition
Capitol Police said the staffer is Michael Hopkins, who is the communications director for Rep. Joe Morelle.
A House staffer was arrested Monday morning for entering the Cannon House Office Building with ammunition, according to a statement from the US Capitol Police.
Capitol Police said the staffer is Michael Hopkins, who is the communications director for Rep. Joe Morelle (D-N.Y.).
“USCP officers noticed what appeared to be ammunition on the x-ray screen. After a hand search of the bag, officers found four ammunition magazines and eleven rounds of ammunition,” the police statement read. “The staffer told the officers that he forgot the ammunition was in the bag. 38-year-old Michael Hopkins was arrested, and he is facing charges for unlawful possession of ammunition, including one charge for possession of a high-capacity magazine.”
Earlier Monday morning, Morelle’s office issued a statement about the arrest.
“Our office is fully committed to cooperating with the investigation. As Ranking Member of the Committee on House Administration, Congressman Morelle is devoted to ensuring a safe and secure workplace for all,” the statement read.

I know nothing about this other than that, really. You've gotta be a special type of incompetent to consider racking up ammo and then forgetting the ammo. I mean, beyond the level of incompetant one expects from .gov slackeys. Fo sho you're taking more than 11 rounds. No sense stacking up empty clips.
He goes thru that security checkpoint quite frequently I wager. if it was 'smuggle' then surely he'd be moving them around it? Or through it via a method that might work. He knows he's gonna be checked. It happens daily (or however frequently he enters. Sounds like he's been there before to me).
I can't eliminate the possibility that it was as you claim, attempt to stash for later misuse. But if them is really that incompetent, and they've had they fingers in .gov pies, you've got bigger things to worry about.

>>1365703 Doesn't say "gun". Says "magazines and ammunition" ... Of which there's 4 magz, at least one of which is "high capacity" and 11 rounds. Meaning most or all was mostly empty.
If it was planted, why would he say "yeah, them mine, I forgot them there"? as opposed to: "I've never seen these before, which one of you corrupt fuckers put 'em there?"

>>1365705 So he was in possession of an illegal magazine, ones that's not just illegal in DC, but where he lives as well, and he tried to smuggle it into the Whitehouse along with ammunition, right before a politician that democrats keep trying to assassinate is supposed to enter office?
Nah, nothing to see here. Move along

>>1365714 Lol. You think there's two options. Cute. This is gonna be one o the best rekd threads to date.
And yes, smugness radiates. I love it when spastics get what they wanted.
As for just deserts. It's coming for them too. They measure in dollar. Which is already pretty devalued and only accelerating.

>>1365720 here's a tip from helpful old, English proficient me. you meant "desserts", not "deserts". try to remember that next time you impersonate an american online for your agenda, ok

>>1365717 But he's not going to be in there once the swapover happens, is it? Try thinking. I know it hurts, but try.
Or you trying to tell me that he'll also be trump's comms director?
You honestly think that if it was the goal to smuggle in ammo, they'd select somewhere known to be checked and leave the ammo behind? And just for good measure, make sure what is there will get you in trouble when it's inevitably found?
Reeks of accident. To me at least. It's stupid, the sort of stupid you get from not thinking.
There's much better ways to achieve this goal. Ways that don't risk your jerb, or freedom. Could prolly order it to be delivered there.

>>1365727 I'm English speaking. Maybe even native. Don't recall ever claiming to be murrican. Mayhaps you'd care to point this out?
I don't give a shit if you trust me or not - but I can assure you, I have nothing to gain or lose by any outcome. I'm probably the least biased poster available.
I'm just trying to encourage thought. Occams razor this shit.
Or just stay in your filter bubbles and continue being objects of mockery. Your choice. Both work for me.

>>1365733 I say 'maybe'... I definitely know. But do you?
You've already decided I must be lying, so if I was to say I am natively English you'd assume I'm lying about that, too. Not much progress.
The 'maybe' might - just might - get you to think, tho, it's a slim chance. But throw it out there. I might just get pleasantly surprised.

>>1365735 you've already claimed you're unsure about your qualification regarding your ability to speak engish. it took you 15 minutes to reply to me.

>>1365736 Does it ever cross your mind that I don't just sit here waiting for you to reply to?
Sorry, that implies you have a mind.
Also, I'm quite sure of both my abilities and qualifications in English. Pretty confident I'd explained the presence of 'maybe' to not indicate unsurity on my part, but to encourage thinking on yours. Which you failed at, again. I sense a pattern.
