“What was the “benefit” for the USA??

I think DEA, FBI, DHS and all Administration officials qualified for a “professional discount” when purchasing or extorting drugs under the agreement.

2000-2012 means it was Clinton, Bush, and Obama. I imagine other presidents could have done the same.

Now we know why Bush did not close the borders after 9-11.

I mourn for my country.

Shades of a modern day AeroAmerico..

deal with swine , reap the rewards..

sometimes gubamint gets lost in itself

and its mission.

nothing new it seems, we have dealt with and sheltered criminals before when they served a purpose.. albeit to be part of a criminal conspiracy and commercial endeavor.

Strange times.

Wow, this is deep, 3rd world level corruption. I hate drugs, but I hate what the Drug War has done to our justice system. The corruption is corrosive and it’s got to stop.

He’s joined by hundreds of narcotics officers honored for their aggressive tactics and major busts... while at the same time being paid by the drug dealers competition and given all those tips.

You wouldn’t even need to use cash. Just have the politician buy a penny stock, bid up the price with illicit money, and let him sell at a profit. Commodities, jobs, contracts, speaking fees, book sales all of which are perfectly legal can be used to pay off a politician.

The Left argues that we need big government to help the little guy, yet all of history from the dawn of time shows that government is a tool of the wealthy and politically connected to control the little guy. Why can’t they learn?

Yes. Trusts and foundations that receive donations that, I believe, are the pol's own money coming into daylight. Partnerships that pay x million a year for no duties... which I again suspect is the pol's own money laundering its way back into daylight. And as you say, consulting fees for no obvious work, gazillion dollar book advances for books no one reads... (and I suspect aren't even printed in the numbers claimed...)

The hardest thing about retiring from a life of public service is bringing your money into daylight in a way thats believable.

When I see a politician suddenly with several hundred million in the bank (that we know of) I always remember that no one bribes an ex-president or an ex-senator.

I wonder if Obama and Holder ordered the hit on Brian Terry.

We ran guns to the Mexican gun cartels and got Brian Terry killed. We ran guns to Al Qaeda, even as we were claiming they were dead, and we got Ambassador Stevens and three other Americans killed. How many more people died for Barack Hussein Obama’s self-aggrandizement?
