A bit clumsy for a sophisticated drug cartel. Maybe this was a payment from a certain foundation for votes in the last election? Perhaps 50% down, 50% after delivery at $1 per vote?

3 million? Good. A small down payment to pay for The Wall.

Wonder how many anti-cartel hit teams that may fund...
To: Ragnar54
I’m going to guess that both of those drivers will be fired from the cartel, with extreme prejudice.

Save the expense of a trial and deport the drivers. Justice will be done in short order.

How about using it to pay for an extension to the wall?

Maybe I am just old fashioned, but do they have any proof this money is tied to illegal activities? I really hate that money gets seized without any proof that it is part of illegal activities. Carrying cash should not be illegal, and the government should not be able to profit from it.

I’m sure some liberal judge in CA will find that there was no reason for the search or no reason to confiscate it, and it’ll soon be on its way. /sarc, but not really :-)

"...but do they have any proof this money is tied to illegal activities?" They will. They'll test it for traces of cocaine which will prove positive and...Voila! Illegal cash.
Of course, nearly every $100 bill in the US will test positive for cocaine.

What a waste of money and effort that was by the Clinton campaign. They were going to win CA anyway. They should have concentrated elsewhere. But, I’m glad they didn’t.
