DEA Paid Out $237 Million Over 5 years To Volunteers
The DEA paid AMTRAK, airline, and parcel employees to go through baggages and personal packages to gather evidence for a hefty reward. Some of these "volunteers" were paid $600k-$1 Million dollars for their findings. It was reported that some even received health insurance. Of course, this is a blatant 4th Amendment violation, and we all know the 3 letter agencies are well above the law.
So what did the DEA get for the $237 Million? That was the question asked by House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz. The DEA Chief of Inspection, Rob Patterson, then pleaded the fifth. Just kidding, he simply said he didn't know.
Come on man. Not even a sippy cup or coloring book? This will definitely be "fakenews".
