Oh great let’s start with the cleaning crew. Then when that doesn’t turn anything up they’ll start on the interrogations of the lower level staff, never mind if they don’t work on the 3rd floor.

… staff and cleaning personnel would be questioned about whether they saw anything related to the incident.

I was thinking more along the lines of asking the cleaners if they’d been washing off other “art work” and just hadn’t reported it. It’s possible. It could also narrow the time frame for this deed to have been done which could maybe be useful.

Overall though, I think you’re right about going after the flunkies before looking at the bosses.

Was this done as an act of resistance, of condemnation, of DHS policies? Speaking truth to power? I’m not sure from the article the rationale of the perpetrator.

“There is no room in the workplace for such symbols of hate. And there is no room in the workplace for those who ascribe to such a thing.”

I might believe that if you hadn’t found a swastika. As it is, I’m inclined to believe that, in fact, there is room in your workplace for such things.

They’re investigating the hand-drawn one because it’s an insult to the official (and authenticated) Nazi Battle Flag hanging in the DHS executive conference room (right next to the Confederate and Russian ones, above the American one).

There isn’t a security camera in the corridors of the homeland security building?

There are. But all of the forensics examiners haven’t been able to identify the mysterious guy on them. There’s some suspicion that it’s the same dude who showed up outside Epstein’s cell, and the FBI has personally reassured Barr that they’re doing everything possible to identify the perpetrator.

They’re probably doing test samples for the eventual wall. It would be a real shame if the swastika didn’t match the underlying paint. It’s the details that makes Trump great, don’t you see??

I might be inclined to believe it if we didn’t have the shining examples of ICE and CBP proving the lie everyday with their concentration camps along the boarder.

Wonder which particular department in DHS has offices on 3rd floor and if it is staff only or if visitors have access to it in any circumstances? I would hazard a guess it was in one of the bathroom stalls–either men’s or women’s.

This is definitely an inside job. Nobody gets beyond the security guards who monitors the front door. If you don’t have the credentials, you will need an escort. No to mention the culprit was more that likely captured on a surveillance cameras! LOCK ‘EM UP!
