Old Joe has named former Attorney General of New Jersey and New York University law professor Anne Milgram to be the new administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
I have no idea who she, and after reading her bio, I really can't get my head around what she is all about. Her main focus seems to be centered around data analysis, which makes this choice another Old Joe head-scratcher.
She may turn out to be a great administrator, but I hope she remembers that the main job of DEA is seizing dope and putting (high-level) traffickers in jail. If data analysis will help do that, fine.
As a retired DEA agent, I am in touch with lots of other retired agents online, and the general reaction to this choice is, well, skeptical. On the surface, it appears to be another step in removing DEA agents from the street, which has been a negative trend in recent years in my view.
