Sources inside Washington say investigators are currently examining several suspects: - George Soros - Hakeem Jeffries - The ghost of Karl Marx - Three NPR tote bags found near a backstage hummus tray - A suspicious barista in Portland who reportedly whispered, "Google it." - An Iranian intelligence officer known only as "DJ Ayatollah Mixmaster" Officials insist somebody must have coordinated the withdrawals.
