A federal grand jury indicted a DEA Special Agent on charges he stole DEA money to buy real estate during his tenure at Atlanta's airport.

The agent, 44-year-old Gregory Campion of Orlando, Fla., is accused of embezzling money as a federal officer, embezzling public money, and money laundering. He is expected to be arraigned before a federal magistrate judge on Wednesday.

"We have no tolerance for criminal conduct by law enforcement officers sworn to uphold the law, particularly federal agents. We will thoroughly investigate and vigorously prosecute alleged lawbreaking by law enforcers," U.S. Attorney David E. Nahmias said in a news release issued by his office.

According to the indictment, Campion stole money seven times in 2004 and 2005 while assigned to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. The money, which was seized by the DEA during drug busts, was taken from a secure storage vault maintained by the Task Force, authorities said.

2. The whole war on drugs is corrupt on a massive scale.

This is just banal, workaday corruption.

What about cops trolling for assets to seize?

What about prosecutors threatening people with decades in prison unless they snitch on someone else?

What about the very idea that you can arrest someone for what he ingests?
