Oh? WHY is it today's Republican DoJ is neutering the DEA's ability to go after purveyors of opioids like McKesson?

Although the agents and investigators said they had plenty of evidence and wanted criminal charges, they were unable to convince the U.S. attorney in Denver that they had enough to bring a case.
Perhaps by not having enough or the correct evidence to charge McKesson? Just a thought.
Obama's policies and were a disaster on the average American. Falling lifespans during the last two years of his goverment and his mandated Obamacare, are another example of it.

Yup.
Bit ironic though. Create a problem or make it worse by neutering police. That'll fix it.

Isn't Denver democrat too?
It'd be nice if you identified who you're quoting.
A lot of the McKesson BS was known under Obama's watch and they clearly screwed the pooch.
But, I keep waiting to see signs Trump isn't a typical politician as was claimed and so far that story's a blank page.
Is this the settlement you’re pissed about? The one struck in January 2017 by the Obama administration?
Oh wait... There's more...

In 2008, McKesson paid a $13.25 million fine for failing to report hundreds of suspicious hydrocodone orders from Internet pharmacies — even after being warned by the DEA three years earlier that it was shipping excessive amounts of the drug commonly called Vicodin.
McKesson caught the attention of the DEA again in 2012, when state and local law enforcement began to investigate Platte Valley Pharmacy in Brighton, Colo., a suburb 25 miles northeast of Denver on the banks of the Platte River. The population was 38,000.
Pharmacist Jeffrey Clawson was selling as many as 2,000 pain pills per day.
But McKesson filled 1.6 million orders from the Aurora warehouse and reported only 16 as suspicious between June 2008 and May 2013.
In December 2012, the DEA asked attorneys at headquarters to issue an “immediate suspension order” against McKesson, an enforcement tool reserved for the most serious threats to public health and safety, Schiller and Kaupang said.
The senior DEA official contended that the Denver field division did not submit documents supporting the request for the immediate suspension order until February 2013.
The investigators tried again in March 2014, this time seeking an “order to show cause” that would bring McKesson to a hearing, where the DEA could argue for the need to halt drug shipments from Aurora before an administrative law judge.
But DEA attorneys declined to approve that request, as well.
