quote:


President Trump’s pick for drug czar, Rep. Tom Marino, has withdrawn from consideration following allegations he helped water down legislation and weaken the Drug Enforcement Administration’s ability to go after big drug distributors.

Trump tweeted Tuesday, “Rep. Tom Marino has informed me that he is withdrawing his name from consideration as drug czar. Tom is a fine man and a great Congressman!”

Democrats and at least one Republican had pressed the president on Monday to pull Marino’s nomination following a weekend Washington Post/”60 Minutes” report on the drug legislation.


The most awesome tremendous people folks.

I know you think you are accomplishing something, but you aren't.

Why do we have all these "Czar" positions anyway?

Isn't there a head of the DEA already? Wouldn't he already answer to someone? Why add another layer of the bureaucracy at the taxpayers expense?

Apart from the War On Drugs conversation, nobody cares a whit about a recommended appointee withdrawing before even being processed, confirmed, or active.

Jeesh...
