Undercover American narcotics agents have laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds as part of Washingtons expanding role in Mexicos fight against drug cartels, according to current and former federal law enforcement officials, the New York Times reports. Does that sound familiar?
Its the exact same explanation the ATF used to justify Operation Fast and Furious, wherein federal agents working for the ATF allowed some 2000 firearms to walk from U.S. gun stores to the Sinaloan drug cartel. Just like the DEAs money laundering ops, ATFs so-called botched sting operation was designed to catch the big fish. Damningly, in ten months it did no such thing.
Which begs the question: what success did the DEAs Cashwalker program achieve? How many convictions did the sting technique yield for that agency? And the answer is . . . none. I repeat. Not one reported case.

I wonder who leaked this?
There are no words.....
That I can type without getting banned...
Hey let’s spend 24 7 attacking each other over Romney and newt right?
Obama is literally collapsing the nation on all levels and you have most of the dopes on this sight attacking each other over petty bs.
Where there is that much money, I can guarantee that the politicians will find a way to get some of it.
I am starting to wonder just how many elected officials and bureaucrats are on the cartel payrolls. My guess is, it is approaching 50% of that bunch in Washington. And even higher among officials along the border.
I wonder how much other money from other sources they were able to co-launder. And I wonder if their cut for laundering the money went right into Democrat political coffers.
Chicago Politics in action.
how can this be anything other then pure corruption? the US govt has helped launder tens of millions if not hundred of millions of drug money. and what about those govt types that profited from all this?
jail time.
this demands jail time.
Washington has become the nexus of the bureaucrat/criminal-complex.
It’s slot worse than you think. Connect the dots.
1. Obama is pushing the Mexican truckers issue.
2. Obama is suing the states who try to tackle illegal immigration.
3. Obama is protecting the bankers 24 7 from prosecution via holder.
4. fast n Furious.
Are you starting to grasp what is going on here? We have a crime syndicate running the country.
You obviously don’t understand: this is their secret plan to reduce the deficit; it’s a very profitable business with a bigger GDP than most Latin American countries.
who chose which banks to set this up? Who handled the wires? Who handled the deposits? Where was the cash deposited? Which bank officers were aware? Who overrode the reporting protocols? Who issued the waivers to the banks?
Occupy the DEA.
End the drug war period.
We need to end the Obama admn! this is a mafia crime family playing for. Keeps.
It won’t matter what admin is in place. These things will continue.
I believe this is directly connected to fast n furious
Yes I know about that. But I want to know which banks the DEA used for these accounts , who set up the accounts, who wired the money, who handled the deposits of all the cash, etc. Additionally, the IRS had to be in on this as well.
