Driver Actually Survives Wrong Turn At White House
Suburban mother killed by feds not so lucky
WND
Miriam Carey
WASHINGTON — There is a new clue to understanding the puzzling death of Miriam Carey, the suburban mother shot to death by federal officers on Oct. 3, 2013, in the shadow of the Capitol.
Carey family attorney Eric Sanders told WND that he has always believed the key to understanding what went wrong that fateful day has been finding out exactly what happened when Carey apparently made a wrong turn and found herself at a White House security gate, with her 1-year-old daughter, strapped to her car seat.
After the 34-year-old dental hygienist from Stamford, Conn. made a U-turn to exit the security check point, federal officers chased her black Infinity at high speeds through the streets of the nation’s Capitol, finally shooting her in the back numerous times, including the back of the head.
Now, it looks like history has repeated, but without the deadly outcome.
Shortly before 5:00 Wednesday afternoon, a man driving a gray Honda Civic turned into a White House checkpoint at 17th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, right behind a motorcade carrying President Obama’s two daughters.
The Secret Service took 55-year-old Mathew Evan Goldstein into custody, causing the White House to go into lockdown for an hour. According to his schedule, President Obama was inside the building at the time, meeting with Secretary of State John Kerry.
It turns out, Goldstein is an IRS employee who has a pass for the U.S. Treasury building that is located right next to the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue.
It appears, just like Carey, he made a wrong turn into a security gate and suddenly found himself the target of law enforcement.
Sanders told WND the fact the driver was able to enter the secure area so easily proves what he has been saying all along about federal law enforcement agents: “Their negligence caused her death. Their security is terrible!”
Sanders believes the definitive explanation as to how Carey ended up dead in a similar incident will be revealed when law enforcement finally releases security camera video of her encounter with officers at the guard gate.
That video has not been released because the results of the investigation still have not been released, more than eight months after the incident.
One expert has told WND information about White House security that could back up Sanders’ claims.
