Of course not. The death penalty isn’t for enemies of America or criminals. It’s only for patriots.

They probably apologized to him and explained that the exigencies of politics require them to prosecute a friend and ally on something.

Under Trump I have a feeling that these people will ‘mysteriously’ die. Remember the killer go Leon Klinghoffer?

Probably why El Chapo Guzman will be “extradited” to the U.S.
