TLDR: The current head of the DEA, Michele Leonhart, who is pretty famous for her bigoted stance on drug reform, is finally "retiring" in the wake of a breaking DEA sex scandal. Basically, for a number of years, DEA agents in Colombia had lots of sexy orgies with prostitutes paid for by the cartels.

From the Justice Dept Report on sexual harassment in the various agencies: "The foreign officer allegedly arranged “sex parties” with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels for these DEA agents at their government-leased quarters, over a period of several years. 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. A foreign officer also alleged providing protection for the DEA agents’ weapons and property during the parties. The foreign officers further alleged that in addition to soliciting prostitutes, three DEA SSAs in particular were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members."

Hypocrisy gets its own in the end. Good on AG Holder for finally standing up to this bitch.

She won't be missed.

Bye bye!

“Is crack worse for a person than marijuana?” Polis asked Leonhart.
“I believe all illegal drugs are bad,” Leonhart answered.
Polis continued, asking whether methamphetamines and heroin were worse for a person's health than marijuana.
“Again, all drugs, they're illegal drugs,” Leonhart started, before being cut off by Polis.
“Yes, no, or I don’t know?” Polis said. “If you don’t know, you can look this up. You should know this as the chief administrator for the Drug Enforcement Agency. I’m asking a very straightforward question: Is heroin worse for someone's health than marijuana?”
Leonhart ducked again, repeating, "All illegal drugs are bad."

Thank goodness! She is a stupid one:

the really sad thing about this incident is that she definitely knows the truth about these drugs, but cant say anything because of the government and DEA's official stance. she should have stood up for what is right and fought against the bigoted policy. but nope, she decided to play ball- and now she's getting her just desserts.
