“DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart is stepping down. She’s been at the agency for 35 years, and her tenure since taking over in 2007 has been marked by a series of abuses, failures and missteps. In fact, the proximate cause for Leonhart’s exit is the eminently more headline-ready case of DEA agents having sex parties with prostitutes. Despite years of issues, the salacious, sexy headline is what pushed Leonhart out, whereas the systemic failures over the last decade received even less sanction than those agents’ seven-to-10-day suspensions. It’s not that the outrage in this case is misplaced—it’s that it’s a day late and a trillion dollars short.”
