Conrad Murray
Maxine Waters
The Houston office of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and local police have raided the local office of Michael Jackson's doctor Conrad Murray this week. Undoubtedly, they are going through records that may help them prosecute the doctor. What DEA is looking for would be records as to Murray's prescriptions for various medications for Jackson. What is at the core for DEA is Murray's handling, prescribing or dispensing of controlled substances and whether he was acting within the legitimate doctor-patient relationship in providing Jackson with drugs.
The raid brings to memory another case in which DEA's Houston office was involved in in 1999. That involved an investigation into rap producer James Prince for alleged drug trafficking. Prince, however, was an old pal of the husband of Maxine Waters, congresswoman from California.
Notwithstanding the fact that Waters had no jurisdiction or constituency in Texas, she intervened in the case and summoned DEA officials to her office to "explain" their actions against Prince. The long and the short of it was that DEA shut down the case and transferred the lead agent to Washington. (See my posting entitled; The hypocrisy of Maxine Waters".)
So who knows? Perhaps, the race-hustling congresswoman from California will once again enter the fray and demand to know what DEA agents in Houston, Texas are up to. After all, what's a circus without Maxine Waters?
Joe Jackson and Al Sharpton both have called for Congressional Hearings on Michael's death. Any bets on who Waters will blame for it?
