Watching The Cops Title: DoJ: DEA agents had sex parties with cartel-provided hookers in Colombia Move over, Secret Service, because another government agency has challenged for the party-culture championship. A Department of Justice Inspector General report accuses Drug Enforcement Agency personnel of having sex parties with hookers in Colombia, but at least government funds werent used to procure them. No, the bill got picked up by the drug cartels the DEA agents were supposed to investigate, as Politicos John Bresnahan reports: It gets better. Guess who watched the weapons while our agents partied with the cartels? Bribes apparently were de rigueur, too: The parties in question took place between 2005-8, although the report itself covers the subsequent four years. One big question from this report is how the agents only got suspended for this activity. Shouldnt this kind of behavior get an agent fired, especially since it gives the cartels lots of leverage over the agents in question? One has to wonder whether the threat of exposure allowed the cartels to get a lot more than their moneys worth out of this age-old honeypot scheme. Plus, it sure set some kind of example to Colombian police, which has been under tremendous US pressure to go after the same cartels that serviced our agents. Bresnahan also notes that the report accuses the DEA of covering up the incidents. Even after the IG found out about the allegations (through a whistleblower), executives refused to allow the IG to access the file. In fact, the IG also said the FBI obstructed its investigation as well on unrelated charges of sexual harassment in the bureau: Therefore, we cannot be completely confident that the FBI and DEA provided us with all information relevant to this review. As a result, our report reflects the findings and conclusions we reached based on the information made available to us. One case sounds similar to that which exposed the Secret Service scandal in Cartagena. A member of a supervisors group assaulted one of the prostitutes after a dispute over money, emphasis mine: There is also a disturbing case involving the US Marshals Service. One deputy procured prostitutes in Bangkok, a city known for its trafficking in children, but only received a chewing-out: Another deputy marshal took up with the girlfriend of a fugitive, which didnt turn out well for anyone: The USMS appears to have at least cooperated with the IG probe. This is an embarrassment for law enforcement in the US, especially in the DEA. It does raise, though, another interesting point. If an independent IG can eventually reconstruct all of this misconduct and corruption within the Department of Justice, perhaps another can do the same at State.

Some good reporting here.
Good report TC. I guess the big question is did Bill Clinton visit Columbia during this timeframe. LOL!
Obviously federal employees are much bigger party animals than I had realized. The DEA has to be thoroughly corrupt, top to bottom, for agents to take cash and expensive gifts and hooker orgies from the cartel and get no more than a few days off with pay.
Yes, if they are taking gifts and going to cartel funded orgies then they are 'on the take.' Meaning they have no value to us being there. Those 'on the take' are impeached characters. That means the cartel feeds them a few small fish to 'take down' now and then to keep their political masters in Washington happy. Also, it means these tax payer funded goons are also doing the dirty work for cartels in their war against other cartels. Peel the onion a bit more and we will find out these agents are also facilitating illegal movement of cartel operatives within our borders. Given the timeframe of 05-08 (still ongoing?) the full attention of Executive office was on the ME and Gitmo. No one probably wanted to be bothered with what was going on in SA. Add to that all the military bases we closed in Central and SA these DEA agents rely a lot on local armies/security forces. Adds to the element of corruption.
The solution? Remember: God gave men the plants for their use. And he didn't give the authority for men to dominate other men. Jesus warned that peddling pharmakeia will get a man the lake of fire. So, teach the law of God, teach the noxious effects, but do not then create armies and police forces and prisons...and corruption and officially-engineered death, to keep some men from misusing plants. Warn, tolerate, and treat the survivors - treat drugs just exactly the way that we treat most sexual sin. Legal under human law, not to be policed by human authority, deadly to the spirit, to be avoided, and to be resisted.
