DOJ Busts Four in International Cocaine Smuggling Ring
Washington Free Beacon ^ | December 17, 2019 | Charles Fain Lehman

The Department of Justice on Tuesday announced the indictment of four men it claims have been smuggling cocaine into the United States for almost 15 years.

Amado Beltran Beltran, Otto Rene Salguero Morales, Ronald Enrique Salguero Portillo, and Fernando Felix Rodriguez face charges that since at least 2004, they have conspired to import cocaine and used and carried machine guns and other destructive devices during said conspiracy. According to DOJ, the four men received cocaine shipments from Colombia and Venezuela and smuggled the narcotics across the United States's southwestern border.

The conspiracy DOJ highlighted Tuesday implicated not only the four indicted men but also Honduran officials—including former Honduran congressman Juan Antonio Hernández Alvarado—and the Sinaloa cartel, for whom they provided services. In particular, the four men paid bribes to Honduran officials and provided guards for the drugs who carried weapons, including machine guns and rocket-propelled grenade launchers.

So...they’ve been watching these pukes for 15 years? And now decide to bust four of them. Trying to a get headline other than their vendetta against Trump is all I see here.

The Deep State knocking out their competition.

Years ago, I read a story about how some of our troops in Afghanistan were being tasked to do essentially that, taking out some drug smugglers. Not all smugglers mind you, some were allowed to prosper, others got whacked by US forces.

Mr President,

Why don’t you start sending DEA Agents with Drug Sniffing dogs to Hollywood Movie Sets and Locations, if you really want the Cocaine Addicts, that is where they are.

Drug War photo op ... don't hold your breath waiting for cocaine to increase in price or decrease in availability. This war on supply and demand can no more be won than could Prohibition.
