Drug Enforcement Administration agents allegedly had “sex parties” with prostitutes hired by local drug cartels overseas over a period of several years, according to a report released Thursday by the Justice Department’s watchdog.
The report did not specify the country where the parties occurred, but a law enforcement official familiar with the matter identified it as Colombia.
Seven of the 10 DEA agents alleged to have participated in the gatherings — most of which took place at an agent’s “quarters” leased by the U.S. government — admitted to having attended the parties, the report found. The agents, some of whom had top-secret security clearances, received suspensions of two to 10 days.
Former police officers in Colombia also alleged that three DEA supervisory special agents were provided with money, expensive gifts and weapons from drug cartel members, according to the report.
“Although some of the DEA agents participating in these parties denied it, the information in the case file suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with cartel funds,” according to the 131-page report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz. (Read more from “Report: DEA Agents Had ‘Sex Parties’ with Prostitutes Hired by Drug Cartels” HERE)
A fish rots from the head down.
Why would the cartels not secretly FILM any DEA.guy at an orgy?
They would OWN that and any other guy.
Some say THAT was actually the reason we knocked down Noriega -he was trying to blackmail some of our TOP people over some Olumbian honey pots schemes they fell for.
Time to end the WOD now.
Old news but still there is need for a complete overhaul of the entire gubmint. This kind of crap has been going on for decades. Time for a total purging of illegal and corrupt activities in ALL gubmint departments and then get a “New Sheriff In Town”. No more Mr. Nice Guy and jail time for those who break the rules, demodummie, republican or others, NO EXEMPTIONS!
no way. we still have ink in the money printer!

Well, what’d they expect? Pampered Chef?
Too bad that Max Payne is fictional.
The problem is that the administration has filled these agencies with cronies and feel-good hires. They can’t afford to lose that level of “leadership”.
The best thing they can do is convince the media to ignore these stories. This is beyond the ability of anyone to spin.
And why exactly should any citizen ever believe anything a thug with a badge has to say??
Meanwhile, the GOP “leadership” in Congress sits by idly, twiddling its collective thumbs.
That Eric Holder certainly knows how to run a tight ship.
Back in the ‘eighties I had a friend who said that George Herbert Walker Bush was heavily involved in drug trafficking. Supposedly they used oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico as warehouses. I thought she was crazy. Now, not so much.
Government agencies can do whatever they want...they face no consequences and don’t have to turn a profit to stay afloat. There’s always more taxpayer money to steal (until there isn’t).
Good job if you can get it!
Obama is the head of the D.E.A. He appoints the head of it. They are all his people.
Sounds to me like a good time to join the DEA!
The fringe benefits sound awesome...
I no longer have a doubt Bush was just as involved with the dope running through Mena, Arkansas as Clinton was.
So what’s new, everything in this government is corrupt. Think about it, the DEA, DOJ, IRS, State Dep’t. Obama, SS, FCC, FDA, EPA, VA, etc. etc.
