For over a decade, under multiple administrations, the U.S. government had a secret agreement with the ruthless Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel that allowed it to operate with impunity, an in-depth investigation by a leading Mexican newspaper confirmed this week. In exchange for information and assistance in quashing competing criminal syndicates, the Bush and Obama administrations let the Sinaloa cartel import tons of drugs into the United States while wiping out Sinaloa competitors and ensuring that its leaders would not be prosecuted for their long list of major crimes. Other revelations also point strongly to massive but clandestine U.S. government involvement in drug trafficking.
Relying on over 100 interviews with current and former government functionaries on both sides of the border, as well as official documents from the U.S. and Mexican governments, Mexico’s El Universal concluded that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the U.S. Justice Department had secretly worked with Mexican drug lords. The controversial conspiring led to increased violence across Mexico, where many tens of thousands have been murdered in recent years, the newspaper found after its year-long probe. The U.S. agents and their shady deals with Mexican drug lords even sparked what the paper called a “secret war” inside Mexico.

Well of course he is upset, just as the corner drug dealer in Chicago is upset when a competitor moves onto his turf.
The point is that the graft generated by rendering the drug trade illegal is so lucrative that politicians naturally want to protect their turf.
The war against drugs is over. We lost. Get over it.
This is a gift to President Trump.

Well, Duh.
I wonder if the State Department, Intelligence community Deep State are so corrupt and entrenched that they have become brazen enough to try to take down a President..............Unfortunately, I think the answer is yes.
The US guards the opium crop in Afghanistan because we leaned from our experience in Vietnam that contracting out the protection of the crop doesn't work. Guarding the opium crops around the world shows we never actually fought a war on drugs, we fought a war on unapproved competitors.
Surrendering is a lot easier than getting serious, though.
Is that where you came from?
(Yes, he really said those things on his call last month with Judge Jeanine!)
Sounds like it from today’s news stories on CBS... Face the Nation & 60 Minutes.
Obama’s DOJ had a meeting to try to figure out how to remove a duly elected President without cause the day after he was elected. Seems to me having the meeting itself leans toward the T word...
Pretty sure there will be some interesting revelations forthcoming after El Chapo trial. It already made public about the $100 million in bribes to the previous Mexican president but from what I hear, the courtroom was cleared when he started mentioning American politicians names and numbers...
