The Mexican government announced that 7 officials have been charged in aiding and abetting the escape of cartel leader Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. The Mexican AG's office would not name the officials charged, but how surprised would you be if they didn't include any higher-ups? The director of the prison where El Chapo escaped has been fired, but no word if he was involved in the escape plot.

Guzman's escape last Saturday from a maximum security prison through a mile-long tunnel built into his cell was a profound embarrassment for President Enrique Peña Nieto, raising pressure on the government to do more to battle public sector corruption.

One thing you can say about Mexicans, they really know how to dig.

So some low level types will be hung out to dry while their superiors who were probably just as involved lavishly bribed to organize the escape, skate.

There, fixed it for you....

This explains why mexico declined the US offer of assistance in recapturing El Shorty: Mexican politicians would have to give the money back.

Wait you mean he didn’t dig the tunnel himself?

Yeah, but you forgot to add that Trump is also anti-pow. Or something. I’m sure the reports on his statements aren’t taken out of context or anything. I haven’t read the transcripts so I can’t say. While I respect mccains service and his suffering during his captivity, that shouldn’t be an automatic pass for the dunderheaded crap he’s done while senator. :>}

No, anything that McCain did or didn’t do while Senator shouldn’t be an automatic pass for The Rug to smear him and mock both his service and his captivity. Trump is quite simply an a-hole about this, and needs to apologize for it, NOW.
