Barr drops charges against cartel-linked Mexican general

[luv2fly]

On Wednesday, The Daily Beast reported that officials with the Drug Enforcement Agency are outraged after Attorney General William Barr convinced a federal judge to dismiss the case against Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda, a Mexican general accused of helping cartels traffic drugs into the United States.

“Cienfuegos, who served as Mexico’s Secretary of National Defense from 2012 to 2018, was arrested last month on drug trafficking and money laundering conspiracy charges upon flying into Los Angeles International Airport,” reported David Shortell. “In court documents, prosecutors alleged that Cienfuegos had been protecting and promoting the work of the violent H-2 cartel in exchange for bribes, citing thousands of intercepted Blackberry messages, including ones exchanged between Cienfuegos and a senior leader of the group.”

5. What happened to this? "When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best.

They're sending people that have lots of problems, and they're bringing those problems with us. They're bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."

Now one of the biggest drug dealers, and absolutely no action.
