Embattled DEA chief to resign, officials say * 1
    #21576457 - 04/21/15 02:25 PM (9 years, 29 days ago)

Quote:

Washington (CNN) - It didn't happen on 4/20 -- marijuana's high holy day -- but expect Michele Leonhart to step down soon as administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, U.S. officials familiar with the matter say.

Obama administration officials long ago soured on Leonhart, a career DEA agent who broke ground at the agency when she rose into leadership as the first woman to head a field office. In recent years, she has angered the administration for appearing to resist federal rules relaxing enforcement on marijuana as states have moved to legalize the drug for medicinal and recreational use.

More recently, she came under fire for her poor performance in a congressional hearing on an inspector general report that found instances of DEA agents having sex parties in Colombia with prostitutes paid for by drug cartels. The report cited light punishments for the agents and Leonhart seemed at a loss about what she could do about it.

On Monday -- 4/20 -- word spread around Washington that Leonhart had met with Justice Department officials to discuss her departure and how to handle succession at the top of the agency. Officials had hoped to have her departure announced before Loretta Lynch, the attorney general nominee awaiting Senate confirmation, took office.

A Justice Department spokeswoman said she couldn't comment. The DEA didn't respond to a request for comment.

Leonhart was tapped by President George W. Bush in November 2007 to lead the agency in an acting capacity, and was nominated by President Barack Obama to serve as administrator three years later.

Last Friday, Leonart sent an email to employees saying: "This has been a very difficult week for DEA, with members of Congress and the media asking tough questions and sharing our outrage about the disgraceful conduct of a few individuals several years ago. This employee misconduct has upset me for many reasons, but especially because it calls into question the incredible reputation DEA has built over more than 40 years."

She ended the email: "I want to thank you for your continued expressions of trust and confidence as we navigate through these rough waters. I know you will remain focused on our mission and the commitment to excellence that is the hallmark of who we are, and what we will always be at DEA."

Wait. What? Who is hiring the prostitutes? I thought those were paid for by the cartel, not the DEA. Weren't the drugs and prostitutes supposed to be gifts to the agents?

Yes, the prostitutes were paid for by the drug cartels. Link.

But essentially our tax money paid for travel, room and board.

HAHA!!!  Hookers and blow for the DEA!!  Surprised...nope. Corrupt tyrannical fucks. 

It's not a war on drugs, its a war on personal freedom.

Disband the DEA, TSA, NSA, DHS and the ATF.  Repeal the Patriot Act.  This is the USA.  Power to the people.

Legalize. 
Leave 2A alone.
Don't fuck with the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.

FREEDOM for ALL

Just like all the dealers they put behind bars, another will rise to take her place.

Obama has recently been making a lot of noise about his support for medical marijuana.  Let him prove it by installing someone who shares his views.

What do you think will happen?

That's the key question, who will replace this bitch and what will their position on marijuana and the "war on drugs" be as the new DEA chief?

I don't think anyone should get their hopes up, the enforcement of drugs laws and the DEA isn't going away.

Smoke in her eyes

Michele Leonhart leaves the DEA soon, and not soon enough

By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - - Tuesday, April 21, 2015

The government announced Tuesday that Michele Leonhart, the administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration, will soon be leaving, and only the potheads of America have reason to grieve. She has had an uncomfortable ride, bucking the Obama administration by relaxing enforcement of federal narcotics law in states where marijuana has become legal in state law. Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington no longer prohibit marijuana under certain circumstances. Neither does the District of Columbia.

But it’s sex, not pot, that brought her to grief, specifically the reckless behavior of certain DEA agents on her watch. She had to answer questions from Congress last week about certain agents’ “sex parties” in Colombia, with prostitutes furnished by local drug cartels. Some parties preceded her watch, dating from 2001. Sex, apparently, is a great persuader. (Who knew?) “This new internal report describes not one or two isolated incidents,” says Rep. Elijah Cummings, Maryland Democrat, “but literally dozens of parties with prostitutes.”

A report, filed by the Justice Department inspector general, says it found that “the ‘sex parties’ occurred in government-leased quarters where agents’ laptops, BlackBerry devices, and other government-issued equipment were present [and] created potential security risks for the DEA and for the agents who participated in the parties, potentially exposing them to extortion, blackmail, or coercion.” She suffered a vote of “no confidence” from the House Oversight and Government Reforms Committee.

A plagued tenure has dogged Ms. Leonhart for a long time. A year ago, after the DEA seized seeds bound for a Kentucky hemp research program that had been approved by Congress, Sen. Mitch McConnell, Kentucky Republican, called the incident “an outrage.” The Kentucky state Agriculture Department sued the DEA.

Since her watch began in 2008, the Justice Department’s inspector general has investigated the DEA’s involvement in the massacre of civilians in Honduras, the use of NSA data to spy on Americans, the use of ineffective confidential informants and the hiring of one informant with a history of telling lies. She testified to Congress against a bipartisan drug sentencing reform that was supported by the Obama administration.

But it was the DEA’s version of bunga bunga in Colombia that was the final straw. “This has been a very difficult week for DEA, with members of Congress and the media asking tough questions and sharing our outrage about the disgraceful conduct of a few individuals several years ago,” Ms. Leonhart, with remarkable chutzpah, told DEA employees in an email dispatched last week. “This employee misconduct has upset me for many reasons, but especially because it calls into question the incredible reputation DEA has built over more than 40 years.” Ms. Leonhart offered the usual bureaucratic blah-blah.

The new revelations make the decision to replace her an easy one. “There’s simply no excuse for the outrageous behavior of the DEA’s so-called leadership,” says Neill Franklin, a Maryland police veteran and the executive director of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, a reform group. “[Ms.]Leonhart just helps us add to the list of reasons of why we need to rethink our entire approach to drug policy.” The current mess is nothing to celebrate.
