Trey Gowdy Destroys DEA: "What the Hell Do You Get to Do?"
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2015
- Under his usual direct, combative and often provocative line of questioning, South Carolina Republican House Representative Trey Gowdy forcefully grilled Chief Drug Enforcement Agency Administrator Michele Leonhart, on her inaction regarding the allegations that agents were allegedly involved in the 'Sex Parties' and denied any knowledge of whether any of the supposed prostitutes solicited by the DEA agents were underage.
At the committee meeting in Washington D.C., Director Leonhart reiterated to a frustrated Gowdy that she is unable to remove or recommend removing the agents allegedly involved in the misconduct and has no power or authority granted to her to make such a decision under the structure of the agency. Her response prompted a visibly annoyed Gowdy to shout back, "Honestly, what power do you have? You have to work with agents over whom you can't discipline - and have no control - and you have no control over their security clearance? What the hell do you [get to] do?”
The publicity received by the Secret Service in the 2012 prostitution scandal in Cartagena, Colombia, revealed another federal agency in hot water over a similar incident, that appears to be an even more salacious, all occurring in the within the same country.
Tuesday's House Oversight Committee hearing lasted three grueling hours, mainly covering an Inspector General's report that found agents - this time in Bogota, Colombia - engaged in "sex parties" with prostitutes and that the parties were incidentally paid for by the very "drug cartels", also better described as the local corrupt officials the DEA was sent to combat.
"This behavior is not acceptable," Leonhart directly addressed in her opening statement before an open House Committee. "It is my hope that the additional training and guidance we have provided to all personnel - particularly those stationed overseas - will prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.”
Can't we just have Gowdy for president??
Hell no, they would just neuter him. Hes perfect where he is.
2nd... Minnesota wants Trey Gowdy as our representative, but so does every state in the Union; so we'll have to clone him and maybe one will agree to serve as president of this messed over country... :p
I think he should be president too
how bout the 4 musketeers in power --> bernie sanders, trey gowdy, allen grayson, ron paul
would be a good combo in my opinion
President of the Kiwanis club . The guy is a dick.
One of my worst fears is to be questioned and/or interrogated by Trey Gowdy.
are we all afraid?
AMEN!!!
Don't lie and you don't have to worry.
Thats why he was able to burn killory
Why, are you a compulsive manipulative liar?
Mr Gowdy should be our next President. I would vote for him in a Minute
+Sir David Haddon Yes we nee President Gowdy.
+Sir David Haddon I respectfully feel that Rep.Gowdy would better serve our country as the Attorney General.
+Sir David Haddon yep me too
Day Man Ah Yes!! Feel the love and tolerance!! LOL
+Day Man He's a G.Harold Carswell-Style Republican to a "T"!!!!!.........
South Carolina has a winner with Trey Gowdy. I like this guy.
studdaman420 ...South Carolina is VERY lucky !
this guy dont play... he's showing us how sad our system has become... run for president dude you'd win...
best reason for smaller government.....Her testimony.
gowdy for president. so badass to see someone represent the US Constitution!!!
exactly he is the shit
soooooo agree with you.....Trey Gowdy is AWESOME.....PERIOD!!!!!!!!
I agree. This is a cold drink in a hot desert.
Unbelievable. Gowdy is a beast.
MOst our our SC representatives are about the same as Trey. Except for our two Senators. (Graham and Scott...both idiots). You should have seen Trey as a prosecutor in Greenville..he is indeed a beast.
prosecutors are traitors and criminals...the STATE never has a cause of action unless there is no claimant to repair the harm done to a man or woman and malum prohibita statutes are treason and unlawful...Unless the sworn servants are your nanny...
James Barnes
Trey Gowdy spent his time prosecuting murder and rape cases, so what you are saying is that my fellow South Carolinian is a traitor? You are taking that shit a bit too far, dude.
I'd quit my job if I knew Gowdy was gonna be questioning me. LMAO!!!!!!
Uniform Tango 74
ME TOO
GOWDY FOR PRESIDENT
He has my vote!
Amen...
How about he replaces Loretta Lynch as A.G.? To me, that has his name written all over it. He would do a far better job since he actually knows the law.
Ballenxj He has a lot of compassion and love for the victims that he represents, and the people who elect him; I swear that we need to find an sick minded scientist to clone him... :p
Definitely. He has a low tolerance for ignorance, stupidity, and lack of common sense. That is what the government needs because these department heads he interviews seem to be complete morons.
I love how he asks all these snarky rhetorical questions to bash these totalitarian corrupt liars.
Decadent Descent He gets them to put their ugly awful ideas right out in the open. Very admirable.
+Decadent Descent anti bullshit, anti PC. Me too. Go Trump!
Can you be anti PC and have liberal tendencies?
Heinrich Hertz
Yes, Liberal, not Leftist.
Hans Blitz Would you elaborate on the main differences between each other?
I love how these folks being questioned are always powerless in their positions and ALWAYS placing their RESPONSIBILITIES on other factors instead of their own accountabilities.
Mr. Mulvaney nicely summarizing:
"If I flirt with a coworker in the office, and that constitutes sexual harassment, I can be fired. But I can take an underage hooker from a cartel I'm investigating and you can't fire me. Is that what we're talking about here?"
has anyone ever answered a direct question in the history of these meetings?
Alex McClure
no it was purely rhetorical.
Alex McClure
touche.
+Alex sad you can't take a joke for what it is.
I'm totally disappointed in our so called intelligent overpaid officials who don't know what's going on in their Agencies. No one is accountable! No information at all to enlighten Anerica! They all need to Fired for incompetence and for breaking our Country's Laws and be held accountable and prosecuted!
I'll have to go over my notes at a later time and get back to you, because I don't have the information in front of me right now.
I still don't get what that lady does? Why is she relevant?
Ben Dover I think she is just like a supervisor
She literally has no real occupation
she part of swamp protector system
Hey Ben Dover how's plumbing going bill spoon
Clearly the director of he DEA is on some sort of drugs
+centersnare32 -- maybe she is bound by the law that the Law Makers (Congress) write?
+centersnare32 clearly
+centersnare32 .. ....9/11....Just a reminder from past experience... If Cheney and Rumsfeld can stop the FAA they can change Elections.. The Air Force spokesman confirmed that AFTER the alerts and requests for
INTERCEPTS of the aircraft were received from FAA/ATC, orders from the
HIGHEST LEVEL of the executive branch of the federal government were
received, demanding that the Air Force stand down and NOT follow through
with ESTABLISHED scramble/intercept procedures that morning until
further notice!
+centersnare32 If true definitely drugs of the hallucinatory kind!
+centersnare32 They get their choice of free drugs at the DEA.
Trey Gowdy is awesome
Trey Gowdy is the man! He is fantastic! Hopefully trump selects him for his team.
Trey Gowdy for Attorney General
+Kyle J. K. H. as long as it's not christie or Giuliani.
That's what I was thinking!
Scott Davis I dont want christie cause he said he'll put all of colorado in prison. And Giuliani is a racist that makes cops stop and frisk you. And thats for ANYONE
If trump had Trey Gowdy, then i won't be scared. Even the trump voters are for legal cannabis.
Scott Davis he won't work for the Trump Administration he knows corruption at its finest he doesn't want to be involved with that
Trey Gowdy has my vote to become the next president of the United State of America
Using an underage sex slave is less severe than an unwanted flirt, which is sexual harassment. You can smell the ridiculously overpowered influence of feminist special interest groups from 3800 miles away. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Day Man
I don't like feminists, Amsterdam and I don't like pot either :)
Love the way he digs for answers.
"Gowdy for five minutes" must be the worst thing to hear
If screwing around with hookers provided by drug cartels that you are suppose to be investigating doesn't get you fired. Then that is some really good job security at the DEA. Lets just go ahead and change the name to: Drug Enjoyment Agency. The fact that nobody could even answer the question about some of the hookers being underage tells you a bunch about how hard they looked into this issue.
And the fact that trey said they used to be worried to go pick up their dry clean.
I LOVE TREY GOWDY, HE GETS TO THE TRUTH, IF ANYONE CAN.
Yeah? Well what ever changes?
+gone fishin you are right. Fuck everything. Let's just make it easier for people to break the laws. Good point.
+dabberzz tired of the rhetoric, it's a system that can't be changed w/o bloodshed, just like the past history. now calm down....
Even if he can't get them to tell the truth he makes them squirm to the point where you know they're fucking lying.
+gone fishin Oh I'm calm ahaha.
My neighbor's cat's squeaky toy is smarter than that DEA Administrator.
Pretty sure the people on the hot seat hate hearing the phrase, "We now recognize the gentleman from South Carolina"
No one in that room has any power.
Hmm A Drug Enforcement Administrator who isn't allowed to administrate or enforce.
They enforce plenty laws against Citizens
She's definitely on something. Pills.
Peter Savad I was thinking the same thing, then I saw your comment. Her speech is slurred and her eyes are low.
Peter Savad I was thinking the same thing, then I saw your comment. Her speech is slurred and her eyes are low.
I knew as soon as she started talking that she's high on xanax! It's so obvious, u can see it in her eyes and hear it in her voice! She's a perfect example of y the American people are in so much trouble. I think ALL career politicians should be exiled and not allowed to return to the U.S
jimmyp410 ohmygosh! you're right, she is barred out!! and I only know because I used to take Xanax too and she sounds like me trying to defend myself when mom would ask WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR EYES!?? LOL ...I'm sorry, this really isn't funny. I was laughing at me back then. but seriously. she is on Xanax. or some pill similar to it.
jimmyp410 I'll go you a step more. It'd be in the national interest to grab 1.5 million people from San Francisco and set them up on a tropical island. Then there'd be a good chance California would vote Republican in the next presidential election. Or grab 2 million just for some insurance.
I agree!!! Mr. Gowdy for president!!!!!!!
What a circus, some of our political leaders & bureaucrats are. Go Trey!
"What the hell you can do" good question thrown to her!!!!👍👍👍
I agree...Trey Howdy should be our next president! !
It always makes me think how did these people get these high ranking jobs and wtf are these agencies doing
After carefully considering your comment I have come to the conclusion that this particular woman (and probably many others in the federal government) are hired specifically because they are completely stupid, unbelievably careless, and excellent at deflecting responsibility
That lady looks loaded to me too!
Looks like they need to investigate all of them
I felt many of my brain cells dying in protest at having to hear these ridiculous responses
These professional bureaucrats don't even know how ridiculous they sound
Trey Gowdy is just amazing
this guy means business write trey gowdy in for president forget trump and hillery start putting sighns out in support we the people need him
"Those who forsake the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law strive against them." ....Proverbs 28:4.
This guy Gowdy is the type of guy we need in Washington.
He'll be a great AG if Sessions gets removed.
Too freaking bad there aren't more patriotic people like Mr Gowdy representing the people. One of a few representatives that try to hold these criminals accountable. Trump should name him Attorney General.
are these people actually on the pay-roll?
The exasperation on the congressmens' faces is hilarious
wow I'm dumbfounded by their statements unbelievable
they need to clean the house period fbi dea atf dhs we need to clean our back yard its filthy
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CHARGE THEM WITH? HOW ABOUT TREASON, COLLABORATING WITH THE ENEMY AND ORGANIZED CRIME?
Mr. Mulaney's face towards the end of his question is hilarious.
If he questioned me I would plead guilty even if I was not. This guy knows his business.
"What the Hell Do You Get to Do?"
She gets to collect a fat paycheck for doing piss all?
Gowdy 2016!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is unbelievable! As a cop I get in trouble for looking at someone the wrong way!
When I want to be entertained, I watch hearings where Gowdy and Chaffetz are questioning a witness.
You asked for this.
Now it's happening.
You could have prevented this.
It's too late to repent.
This is an example of how Federal, State & Municipal employee unions make a different set of rules & consequences than what we would face in the same situation.
If I had been caught with underage prostitutes furnished by a drug cartel I would be indicted as a narco terrorist co-conspirator by some DOJ prosecutor.
These fuckers get arbitration, wtf?!?
There are indeed agents and support staff in DEA who were so happy to finally see DEA Management get put in a position where Management was finally held accountable. Trey Gowdy is their hero !
"We'll now recognize the gentleman from South Carolina, Mr.Gowdy for 5 minutes" She's thinking "Oh Shit"
He seems to be only guy who not only gets a little angry but completely embarrasses the slippery government worker! I have recently started watching some of these hearings and it's actually frightening to see and hear who is in charge of our agencies! I bet we could pull people from these you tube comment sections randomly select a poerson and they would be a better boss than the college educated weaklings
We get to see the rare failure of these people, yet we don't see why they were given these positions or what qualifications they had to execute their jobs in the first place.
This is a prime example of the standard civil service bureaucrat...clueless, disinterested and obviously beholden to someone somewhere. Anyone wish to guess to whom? How did you know?
This is absolutely Crazy. Do you have the authority to do anything?
I've been watching these Dog and Pony shows for over a year now . The committee's are awesome showmen ... But I haven't saw anything done on the stuff that they put the show on about . has anyone else saw anything done ..lol
Angel Asmodeus That is the problem, without the AG there is not much the committee can do on its own. AG Holder was held in contempt of Congress yet Congress could do nothing more. It is one of the benefits and curses of the different branches of government. One branch can't run amuck, yet they can't do what is needed either on their own. Really all these committees can do is show the public what is truly going on so we will vote people in office that will actually act on what is discovered. But that requires an aware populace.
I've read comment after comment on other Gowdy videos that people want him for Pres.... I say No way, I want him rite were he is, he's doing a spectacular job in which he wouldn't be able to do as Pres. NO offence to anyone
She is collecting a paycheck at our expense , for doing nothing . Sic ' em , Mr. Trey Goudy !
Anyone know what Ted Gowdy eats for breakfast? I'm trying to get on his level of savageness for my debate class
How to avoid a Trey Gowdy ass whooping: Just answer the damn questions short, straight, and honest!
But you are sticking of gov tit and not doing your good or being any sort of good person. You can see their hangup.
Great example of our corrupted government. A Senator questioning this bimbo does not change a damn thang!
2:50 She said: "Build on and improve mechanisms to make sure that the outcome IS WHAT WE BELIEVE THE OUTCOME SHOULD BE'.
WOW.
You won't get disciplined for doing nothing today. Govt jobs, schools, everything
This is so crazy. Its like she is saying: Hey I am in charge but, don't expect me to have any control over anything.
Being a Federal employee itself grant so much immunity to these corrupt officials. I heard about a Post Master at Post Office who had sexual harassment but he was sent on leave for 6 months. He was brought back to another office just because he knew someone.
Here we see, the inefficiency of government agencies and the red tape that bureaucracy creates in such agencies. To be honest, in this day in age with the Border patrol the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies, I still don't see why we need a DEA. Every local city police department and county' sheriffs office has a narcotics unit or something similar, and the FBI and ATF go after these major kingpins domestically. The DEA is just a remnant of old Nixon policy, and in this day in age, they are just getting in the way, disband them. ICE, border patrol, DHS do most of the work at stopping drugs coming in through our borders as it is. I have seen the shows, its always some border patrol guy busting some illegals carrying bundles the DEA is no where to be found. And if this is the way the administrator acts regarding serious accusations made against the agency, I wonder how their agents are trained? It is too bad that few republicans other than Mr Gowdy don't go hard after these money holes of governmental agencies. We need a true republican in office, who truly wants small government and cares to defend our individual freedoms that are constantly being taken away, not some establishment puppet like Jeb Bush or the like who only care about business as usual. Rant over.
Love you man! Been waiting a long time to see that house be held accountable for the could be millions
Wait....there's a DEA "penalty guide" with "soliciting underage sex workers" listed? 🤣
Wow. Just wow. I'm just speechless.
Stunning : Trey Gowdy
the US government needs a 100 Trey Gowdy's to get rid of incompetent government managers like this.
Balls Williamson+++ I agree with you. I hope there are atleast a million Trey Gowdys out there. America needs people like him that are not afraid of the repercussions or opinions of others. People that faithfully uphold the Constitution and encourage others to do the same. Trey Gowdy is phenomenal!!!!
THEY ARE NOT ONLY POWERLESS BUT THEY ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO BE IN THEIR POSITIONS.
We don't even need to have a frickin' DEA.
The master of the 'laser guided question'.
What a cluster.....
@jimmyp410. I am a disabled, retired federal employee. My wife is a retired cereal employee. We get to pay over $7,500 just in SC taxes on our retirement, not to mention the big chunk that Uncle Sam takes. We are not poor by any means, we are blessed. But at this point I believe we are taxed by and with inept representation. Our founding fathers would weep if they saw what we've turned ourselves into. When I can go to the poll and vote FOR someone instead of AGAINST someone else, it's a good day at the voting booth.
And then let's remember the pay our congress members make ($174K +/-) and the grief they and their family members take for it. Why would any sane person with talent run for office? The government is filled to the brim with many narcissistic sociopaths. F r e a k I n. Yikes!
Why the freak are we paying taxes for this BS?! I want my money back!
It's good to know that there is at least one elected representative - Trey Gowdy - who knows how to question and expose incompetent bureaucrats.
Fire everyone inside the beltway.
Does ANYONE who holds a position of authority actually EVER give a straight answer, and are any of them accountable for their actions, or from what I've seen, their INACTIONS ?. Do they think that " Passing the Buck ", is a good way of keeping money in circulation ?. All those who sit blank faced and answer questions with, " We can't do this, we can't do that, I don't recall, not to my knowledge ", should be sacked on the spot, and someone installed in the position who CAN and WILL answer questions, someone with a good memory.
the fucking face he makes of pure brain aneurysm at 3:50 is fucking hilarious.
What an example of incompetence in office.
Hey! I seen you on Forensic Files!
I just can't believe this.
When an Agency is caught using from their own evidence locker......
When he asked, "what the hell do you get to do?" Her response was something I'd expect out of Hilary Clinton. An answer that is extremely vague, evasive and really has nothing to do with what he asked in the first place.
I would vote for him . Let's take are country back from all these people.
The supervisor drawing up the charges should also be fired.
Why do they even pay her for this job
Congress needs to question those who can provide answers.
gowdy doesnt talk, he destroys
Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce you to Ms Valium?
Where can I see the entire hearings? I can't figure out from the paragraph below the video what investigation this is.
Keep up the good work!
