A staffer for Sen. Thad Cochran (R-Miss.) admitted to distributing methamphetamine and another drug in exchange for sexual favors, according to a report in The Washington Post.
Customs and Border Patrol officers in Cincinnati found a package of gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) addressed to Fred Wesley Pagan, according to a court document.
Homeland Security agents searched his house in the Brightwood neighborhood of Washington D.C., on Thursday and found a substance that tested positive for meth in plastic bags, the court document states.
The Post reports Pagan is a long-time employee of Cochran and currently serves as his office manager.
Pagan allegedly admitted he bought the GBL from China knowing it was illegal. GBL is a Schedule I controlled substance, on par with marijuana and LSD, and is purported to build muscles, reduce stress and enhance sex. It also breaks down into the party-drug GHB, which is also known as the “date-rape drug,” according to the Justice Department.
He told investigators he “intended to distribute both the GBL and methamphetamine in exchange for sexual favors,” according to the court document.
“The senator is traveling to Mississippi right now and has not seen the details included in the documents you provided,” Cochran communications director Chris Gallegos told the Post on Friday.
“Our office is in the process of consulting with Senate legal counsel.”
The 49-year-old appeared in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Friday, and a grand jury indicted him on intent to distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and on importing a controlled substance.
The distribution charge carries a mandatory minimum of five years in jail and no more than 40 years, while the importation charge carries a maximum of 20 years, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.
While physically present, Sen. Cochran, busy trying to pick the flowers off the wallpaper pattern, could not be mentally reached for comment.
You’d have to be a real loser to need to use a date-rape drug in DC. The whores are waist deep.....
Might also be useful for trade with switch party votes.
Both Heterosexual and LGBTQ.
Haley Barbour with the assistance of Mitch McConnell engineered one of the dirtiest tricks in U.S. election history to keep the sad remnants of Thad Cochran in office.
If Mississippi voters hadn’t been swindled, this guy wouldn’t have been working in McDaniels office.
Criminal penalties should be doubled for legislatures and their staffers.
cochran’s vote is barbour’s vote, the vote for cloture and vote for lynch is what barbour would want, he doesn’t want an AG that would do anything to hamper obama’s illegal amnesty. POTC&HB
Pagan what an appropriate last name.
neck deep if you include most members of Congress.
This is the kind of GOP that makes the GOP electable... Smh. All of them are scandal ridden scums.
So where is the FR Liberal-Republican/Vote for the lesser evil contingent?
On another thread taking me to task for making a big deal out of approving an Attorney General nominee who testified that federal laws don’t mean a thing. #76
