We need to elect people who will simply do what is right and forget all the back room deals and all of the political “understandings.”
If someone is guilty of felonious actions like this man is, where American agents have died (two we know of and I bet there are more) and hundreds of civilians in Mexico...then forget the damnable “understandings” and put their sorry backsides in prison where they belong.
No “Get out of Jail Free,” card because you’re a Pol and you don’t want our guys prosecuted. If our guys do the same thing...then they aren’t “our” guys any longer. If you are a felon, you are a felon, and deserving of equal treatment under the law just like you or I would be.
Anyhow, that’s how I see and exactly what I would do if I were in a position to.

Actually, I've sometimes thought it might be better to allow such crooks to flee in exile. If they know they can't escape, they'll be more likely to fight until the bitter end (and might always win). On the other hand, if they know that they'll be better off fleeing now than waiting until things get worse, then although they'd escape justice (unfortunate) we could at least be rid of them.
