Stop kicking the can. The DEA is part of the problem in that any organization's goal is self-propogation and continued existence to benefit it's membership.
That they were given a corrupt charter doesn't mean they're innocent actors. They are part and parcel of the security state combined with private interests, corrupt legislators, bribed judges and other agencies whose mission has strayed from public benefit to lining their own pockets.
In fact, I wouldn't doubt that given their power, they are increasingly targeted/infiltrated by the very criminal interests they're trying to control - meaning their purpose is skewed for vendetta resolution and clearing out markets for drug cartels (note: HSBC was caught laundering money for the cartels, why would the DEA be less corruptible?).
