(Excerpt) Read more at cbsnews.com ...Mexican drug suspect: U.S. gave me immunity
By Sharyl Attkisson(CBS News) A Mexican drug suspect awaiting trial in Chicago is making a startling claim. He insists he can't be prosecuted because he worked as an informant and had a secret immunity deal with the U.S. government.
ATF Fast and Furious investigation
Napolitano testifies on ATF Fast and Furious: "We're waiting for the Inspector General"

Prosecutors say Vicente Zambada-Niebla oversaw drug running on a massive scale into the U.S. But now, from behind bars at a maximum security prison in Chicago, he's making his own explosive accusations -- that U.S. government agents have been aiding Mexico's infamous Sinaloa cartel -- even tipping off leaders on how to avoid capture.
CBS News investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson reports that Zambada's court filings claim federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents gave him, cartel kingpin Chapo Guzman, and other Sinaloa leaders "carte blanche" to "operate their drug business without interference," as long as they snitched on other cartels. For years, Zambada's attorney argues, Sinaloa leaders helped "authorities capture or kill thousands of rivals." Their chief rivals are the Zetas, considered the most vicious and ruthless of all.
Phil Jordan used to head the DEA's Center for Drug Trafficking Intelligence, called "EPIC," in El Paso. He says he doesn't buy Zambada's claim that the DEA promised immunity.
Jordan told CBS News, "We do not have the power to offer immunity."
Not MY bet. It’s David Codrea’s bet. He wrote this article and there is more at the link. But if he says it, I believe it and MIGHT bet a few.
A documentary is in progress. Read the entire article.
Jorge Booosh be a berrrry good friend of juannee sutton. Si.
Refused to pardon OR grant clemency to Ramos and Campion, and now sutton has victimized yet another Border Patrol Agent who is at this moment in solitary confinement 23 hours a day...for NOTHING!
Jorge Booosh...living high and well in a 3 million dollar mansion in Tejas. Did that surprise anyone? After all, his beloved ranch was where he most longed to be. Right?
What I find more interesting is what Jordon did not say. He did not say "We were not working with the Sinola Cartel"
I posted the whole article just now. It is Mike Vanderboegh's bet, not David Codrea's.
Your words are more profound than you realize. I have lived and worked in many third world countries. In most third world nations, the police department were to be feared as an agency of corruption, extortion and criminal acts. The exception was Western Europe and oddly Oman, in the Middle East. In Oman I was never asked for a bribe or coerced in any manner by the police or a government agent.
The reason your words are profound is I see the corruption of third world governments being repeated today at the federal level of law enforcement in my nation, the USA.
Oh boy! And I read the whole thing too. Gah!
People will spit on the sidewalk as he passes.
I would do it now.
“We do not have the power to offer immunity.”
Of course that never stops them from offering
something, if a subject wants to take it as
immunity.......well, that’s their problem, as
the guy in the article is finding out.
“If Obama thinks he’s going to make big bucks giving speeches like Bubba, I think he’s kidding himself. He’s going to need an insiders (hidden) job in Chicago....courtesy of Emmanuel.”
Or,,, he could move to a country that we don’t have an extradition treaty with, and write a tell-all expose book.
“People will spit on the sidewalk as he passes.
I would do it now.”
And he’d have you arrested, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, as spitting on the sidewalk is illegal pretty much everywhere. Never enforced, but in your case,,,,, he’d force an exception. The laws date back to the tuberculosis era.
