I’m still trying to figure out how any lawyer can keep a straight face while claiming that Manuel Noriega had any business being imprisoned in the U.S.
Because Noriega facilitated drug traffic from the various Colombian drug cartels in the 1980s through Panama willingly and knowingly which included transshipment of both cocaine hydrochloride and cocaine paste sent to labs in Panama he partnered with and the illegal return of cash to Panama of USA drug proceeds and oddly enough a marijuana smuggling operation to west coast Florida under his direction which resulted in charges there in central district as well as the original southern district Miami charges
Same or more than the Sandies did except given the canal we were willing to go fetch him
Nicaragua just don’t carry as much weight
Noriega really pushed the limit and the election he overthrew ended up being too much for ol busy hands GHWB
