(ICE Agent) EXCERPT:
A Colombian Cali Cartel cocaine trafficker was sentenced today to 27 months in prison followed by three years of supervised release in the Southern District of Florida for bribing a former special agent with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations (ICE-HSI) to secure the dismissal of a drug trafficking indictment filed against him.
According to admissions in the plea agreement, Jose Bayron Piedrahita-Ceballos, 60, of Medellin, Colombia, offered and gave things of value to Christopher Ciccione II, 54, a former federal law enforcement agent, in exchange for Ciccione using his official position to cause a drug trafficking indictment against Piedrahita-Ceballos to be dismissed and to obtain official authorization for Piedrahita-Ceballos to enter the United States. At the time of the dismissal, Ciccione was the case agent for Operation Cornerstone, a large-scale Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force case that resulted in indictments of over 100 Colombia-based cocaine traffickers from the Cali Cartel.

Bait them with a trap.
45 baited them with his private phone calls they were listening in on.
These people are stupid and fall for it every time.
It is almost like they can’t learn from their past mistakes.
That is only way to get them to report on it!
Now they must cover the story of Joe and Hunter Biden. Hunter becomes the Hunted.
I hope the sentencing for the former ICE-HSI guy was more severe. So when this drug lord gets out in a bit more than 2 years, will he be “supervised” in the US????? Won’t he be deported? I will try to check the link later. 27 months is nothing, send his sorry carcass back to Colombia!
Okay, so the fedgov guy got 3 years.
Piedrahita-Ceballos, an Operation Cornerstone defendant, and Colombian national Juan Carlos Velasco, 51, gave Ciccione approximately $20,000 in cash, dinner, drinks and prostitution during an extended hotel stay in Bogota, Colombia, in exchange for official acts that resulted in the dismissal of the indictment against Piedrahita-Ceballos. Velasco served as the intermediary between Ciccione and Piedrahita-Ceballos. Velasco and Ciccione have previously pleaded guilty for their conduct in this matter. On Feb. 9, 2018, Ciccione was sentenced to 36 months in prison. On Jan. 19, 2018, Velasco was sentenced to 27 months in prison.
