Biden’s’s DEA Captain Is Charged With Rewarding Friends With Cheap Public Agreements On Another Day In The Swamp

Would it surprise you if a prominent Biden official was charged with giving her liberal friends swanky, well-paying government projects and arrangements?

No, probably not, but it is unexpected that the Associated Press briefly dropped its Democrat-Media Complex credentials and reported that Anne Milgram, the head of the Drug and Enforcement Agency under President Joe Biden, is under investigation for allegedly rewarding her allies with no-bid arrangements.

Milgram is a former law professor and New Jersey’s’s attorney general. The IG is currently considering millions of dollars in taxpayer funds that were supposedly distributed to her friends for” corporate preparing and communication” and some contracts. The charge for for contracts was provided, according to the AP,” at rates far exceeding payfor public officials.”

The democratic Project on Government Oversight’s’s general direction, Scott Amey, told the AP that some of these deals” look very marshy.”

A$ 1.4 million transaction made to the company WilmerHale for an outside evaluation of DEA foreign services and advice on how to stop wrongdoing and lessen scandals is also included in the state. The AP noted that the survey received a lot of criticism for not being as full as it ought to have been. Who was involved in the review’s’s direction? Boyd Johnson, the right-hand man to previous U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, is the exception. According to the internet outlet, Bharara is a familiar friend of Milgram.

John Lawn, an 87-year-old DEA veteran with knowledge of foreign practices primarily from the 1980s, was one of the study’s’s many writers. Lawn was in charge of a beer industry organization that funded an drinking research study led by Milgram’s’s mother after leaving the government.

The fact that the customary government-bidding mechanism was abandoned only makes the situation more confusing. The DEA claimed that there has never been a” threat of illegal foreign drugs to the health and safety of the American public” and demanded” urgency” to finish the review.

Instead of the anticipated six decades, the survey took close to a year and half to accomplish.

That review was referred to as” a complete waste of taxpayers’ money” by Matthew Donahue, a former DEA official. The AP reports that Donahue, who had previously served as the DEA’s’s foreign services division commander, retired after allegedly” butting mind” with Milgram.

Donahue said of the finished product from WilmerHale,” It’s’s something that could’ve’ve been written in three days.” He added that he and other important DEA officials made use of pressing reports’ information that was made available to the public.

Milgram and the DEA are currently being held responsible by at least one legislator. Sen. Chuck Grassley( R – IA ), according to the AP, sent Johnson a request for documents and details pertaining to his relationship with the head of DEA.

Although DEA originally referred to this article as a” comprehensive review” of its foreign operations system, Grassley claimed that the report glosses over or ignores serious agency flaws and quotes extensively from documents that could have been found online.

WilmerHale’s’s review, he continued, was” wonderfully nebulous.”

The AP’s’s report also includes information about other likely scandals.

The possibility that a federal bureaucrat with ties to New Jersey and New York Democrats is involved in problem won’t shock most people. Even another day in The Swamp, really.
