Obama Commutes Life Sentences of Four Mexican Cartel Leaders

ROMA, Texas — Four family members who ran one of the largest cartel smuggling operations in south Texas had their life in prison sentences commuted and will likely be returning to this border city from where they ran their criminal empire. One of the main destinations that the criminal organizations delivered drugs to was Chicago, Illinois.

This week, outgoing President Barack Obama commuted the sentences of 209 convicted criminals and pardoned 64 others. The majority of the convictions were from drug trafficking or production offenses.

Four of those convicted criminals who had been sentenced to life in prison will be released by May 17. They ran a criminal organization made up of close to 80 men and women who worked with Mexico’s Gulf Cartel to move between 100,000 to almost 750,000 pounds of marijuana into the U.S. during a 10-year period. The drugs were moved into Houston and then distributed to Atlanta, Chicago, and other major metropolitan areas.

Obama... the Anti-American gift that (unfortunately) keeps on giving.

What a disgusting piece of trash he is.

Obama didn’t want numerous cartels, he and others want just a few —it’s easier to control them, that way.

They struck a “no busts for intel” deal with the Gulf Cartel; they give “us” intel regarding the shipments of other cartels and in return we don’t bust Gulf Cartel shipments.

And I heard there’s some special unit that calls up the Gulf Cartel people and warns them ahead of time when the obligatory “sweeps” are coming through.

ENGAGEMENT —Obama was pretty clear about it.

Hey may have commuted their sentences, but somebody can execute the sentences.

That’s okay-they think they are home free and will get careless in no time-a bit of surveillance, a sneaky take down they won’t be expecting-and they’ll either be offed or right back in prison very soon...

The Biz Insider link I made above:

A top Cartel guy also stated that Holder’s Fast & Furious guns not mostly an effort to generate gristly mass-shooting headlines in Mexico:

It was a US effort to actively ARM a Mexican Narco Cartel that would feed the US intel, an ISIS-like ploy on the American continent.

So, if Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s findings start a justice department criminal investigation about Obama’s fraudulent documentation and the rest of Obama’s records are unsealed and it is proven that he was never eligible to be president in the first place... How long is it going to take to round these clowns back up and throw them back into Federal Prison?

Follow the money on this one. Sounds a lot like the Rich pardon, at first hearing. Very guilty, but with lots of money and influence.

It’s never going to happen.
EVERYBODY in the District of Corruption is complicit in the violation of the Constitution.
They ALL knew he was not a natural born citizen.
He TOLD us his foreign national father made him a British subject at birth.
They have wanted the natural born citizen requirement eliminated for years.
They believe Precedent Obama has done that.
Obviously it has, Cruz, Rubio and Jindal all ran and nobody objected.
