Marco Rubio's brother-in-law was the 'front man' for a multi-million dollar cocaine-smuggling ring headed by a drug kingpin who ran the operation from an exotic animal sanctuary, it has been revealed.
Orlando Cicilia was arrested for his part in the illicit operation in 1987 during Miami's narcotics heyday when Republican presidential hopeful Rubio was just 16.
Cicilia, 58, who is now working as a real estate agent, served just 12 years in prison despite being sentenced to 35 for his part in the scheme...
Cicilia was released four days after Rubio stormed into the political spotlight following his re-election to the House of Representatives in November 2000.

Whatever lies anybody wants to use to destroy Rubio are fine by me. Please keep it up.

Rubio was all of sixteen years old.
Duplicate of http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3372200/posts (and three weeks old)
So he was good friends with Bill Clinton?
So?
As recently as 9/5/2015, threads like http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3333463/posts have been locked for being duplicates. Is this no longer the policy?
This brother-in-law is not exactly someone you’d want visiting the White House, were Rubio to be elected. Not unlike Roger Clinton or Obongo’s brother.
Is this a hit piece like when they said Trump’s father was in a riot against Catholics?
Hillary is MARRIED to a RAPIST, who hasn’t served any time in prison.
Both of those were posted on the same day.
The one you mentioned was posted some weeks ago.
And this time it was posted in chat.
We do allow duplicates, but usually not if they are posted close together .
Sometimes there are stories from several different sources about the same subject. We leave those up to get the different spin from the MSM.
Free Republic is all about vetting the news.
Usually only one of them is left in a sidebar.
Thanks for the question.
Interesting.
I didn't know that. Thanks!
