2. I watched her recently in congressional questioning on pot by a

Colorado congressman. She seemed unfit for office to me, she was a space shot during the questioning. Frankly, I was amazed someone of her seemingly lacking caliber was in such a high-level position.

Who can fire her?

Why don't they?

totally ignorant and unfit for duty IMO. No wonder things are so screwed up.

ignoring reality are prerequisites for heading the DEA.

Should make people ill.
