War on Drugs? Cartels Hired Prostitutes for Parties with US Federal Agents
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is holding hearings on DEA misconduct, and a summary of an Agency report released by the Committee reveals not only was it seemingly non-stop partying since 2001 — much earlier than previously known — but if and when the agents were reprimanded, it wasn’t for much time: between two to 10 days suspension in most cases.

"This new internal report describes not one or two isolated incidents, but literally dozens of parties with prostitutes,” Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings said at the hearing.
