- White House speech-writers thought it was the perfect visual for President Bush's first prime-time address to the nation -- a dramatic prop that would show how the drug trade had spread to the president's own neighborhood.
"This is crack cocaine," Bush solemnly announced, holding up a plastic bag filled with a white chunky substance in his Sept. 5 speech on drug policy. It was "seized a few days ago in a park across the street from the White House . . . . It could easily have been heroin or PCP."
But obtaining the crack was no easy feat. To match the words crafted by the speech-writers, Drug Enforcement Administration agents lured a suspected District drug dealer to Lafayette Park four days before the speech so they could make what appears to have been the agency's first undercover crack buy in a park better known for its location across Pennsylvania Avenue from the White House than for illegal drug activity, according to officials familiar with the case.
In fact, when first contacted by an undercover DEA agent posing as a drug buyer, the teenage suspect seemed baffled by the agent's request.
"Where the {expletive} is the White House?" he replied in a conversation that was secretly tape-recorded by the DEA.
"We had to manipulate him to get him down there," said William McMullan, assistant special agent in charge of DEA's Washington field office. "It wasn't easy."
White House and DEA officials said they did nothing improper in their efforts to help Bush illustrate how widespread the local trade is. A senior White House official said the DEA was never asked to manufacture an arrest for the president's speech.
According to DEA officials, the suspect had been the target of a three-month undercover investigation before the White House request and had sold crack to agents on three previous occasions in other parts of the city.
DEA officials said yesterday they have held off on arresting the suspect in hopes that he would sell a larger amount of crack to undercover agents and could be charged with a more serious offense.
"We were negotiating for a kilogram of crack and we were trying to identify his organization," said McMullan. "We were going to make that undercover buy anyway. What difference does it make where it happened -- whether it was in front of the White House . . .or in front of the Supreme Court?"
DEA had planned to make an arrest this week, but the attempt fell through when the suspect failed to show up for a scheduled meeting with a DEA undercover agent. Another attempt will be made next week when a federal grand jury is expected to return indictments against him and possibly some of his confederates, said DEA spokesman Mario Perez.
Kevin Zeese, a defense lawyer who specializes in drug cases, said DEA's efforts to maneuver the suspect to the area around the White House may enable his lawyer to argue that he was a victim of "outrageous government conduct."
This would not help his defense against the three earlier crack sales, Zeese said. Nevertheless, "I think it's disgusting," he said. "The situation is not bad enough that they have to create a false situation? It's the government creating a hoax so they can rev up the war effort."
As described by White House and DEA officials, the trail that brought crack to the White House began last month in Kennebunkport, Maine, where the president was on vacation and preparing for the speech that would unveil his anti-drug program. The idea of the president holding up crack was included in some drafts and Bush quickly approved. "He liked the prop," said one White House aide. "It drove the point home."
Officials said that communications director David Demarest, who oversees the speech-writers, then asked Cabinet affairs secretary David Bates to contact the Justice Department about getting the drugs. Instructions to Justice were to find some crack that fit the description in the speech, not to go out and arrest someone just for the speech, aides said.
Imagine being some guy in a colombian jungle and the crack you made ends up in the US president's hands.
I don’t think the crack was made in the jungle now for sure the coke but usually that shits made in a kitchen in some project lmao
Like watch crack conspiracy something like that on Netflix the guy who sold that 14g of crack is on it talks about it
Crack is not made in the jungle you stupid fuck
@@artv7291 I’m saying this shit had me cringe so bad
@@artv7291 they dunno about that life just let them
Think what they want lmao
The boss always has a sample with him.
It's not a prop. That's the usual amount he kept in the top drawer of his desk! LOL
He tucked it right back in his desk where it belongs lol
It was bought as a DEA operation and the black man who sold it got arrested and served 10 years.
@@artv7291 Perhaps, but you're leaving out the fact that they knew the Black man had it because he bought it from them to begin with. CIA runs the global cocaine industry.
@@artv7291 God damn is that true? Ridiculous
Nah son the president has access to pure high quality lab-made cocaine. That's the shit he confiscated from his secretary.
This man casually holding enough to be stabbed over lmao
He was probably the biggest dealer in the country at the time of this video
“How did it get here”? You and Reagan 😂

@@jacobstonebraker1556Hunter Biden would like to do a interview with you
This is crack cocaine. And goddamn it's some good shit. But I need it all for my son. He needs it to forget about how much of a fuck up he is. And later I'm gonna need it to deal with the fact that my shortbuser son managed to serve 2 terms and I only got one.
He puts it right back in the desk drawer for safe keeping
That’s a lot of crack!
Big Rocks ...
Imagine having your hands on some 1980's fish scale..
Are you a crackhead or something why are you amazed at that
@@nadjiguemarful because....1980s nose beers bro.. 🤘
I wish
Crazy shit about it is that during the 80s they did tests and the average purity of powder was 55% and the average purity of rock was 80+.To me that is just proof that the government operation intended on pushing specifically crack and it wasn't just about making money.
🤧😳
No way that crack came off the street that day. They was some huge rocks sir. I never seen crack rock that big. “Just across the street..”
He actually found it under his son's bed.

30 years later we know it was a very successful strategy.
It was, tho. It furthers the Amerikkkan foreign policy goal of keeping Latin America divided and subjugated, and domestic policy goal of keeping Black people divided and subjugated. It's not that their plan didn't work. It's that their plan isn't what they said it was, but something else altogether...and it works great!
You are stupid. Abortion exists to prevent people like you
