I expect a whole LOT of people are gathering up funds in much of the same manner, december 22 2012 is this year...
...arrested Monday on money laundering charges after law enforcement officers found more than $1 million packed inside suitcases stored in his car's trunk.Drug cartel, or Stimulus money?
The Mexican drug cartel offer to officials is lead or gold.
Feds tracked him from SC, lost him in Houston and put out an APB to south Texas LEO’s. Stopped him for speeding(you betcha), leo ask permision to search, refused, an K-9 unit alerts to trunk.Money confiscated and man goes to jail. No wonder we don’t want to stop drugs coming into this country,the local governments are making as much as the drug dealers are!
“No wonder we don’t want to stop drugs coming into this country,the local governments are making as much as the drug dealers are!”
Especially the LEO. New body armor and night vision for everyone!
I honestly wonder how many Congresscritters flat-out belong to the drug cartels.
Hidalgo County, TX is in reality not even part of the U.S. anymore; it is a province of Mexico.
Hidalgo County borders Mexico and its population (which has exploded in the last 20 years, more than doubling in that time) is about 90% hispanic (read: Mexican). It has an enormous illegal immigrant population, and it is staunchly in the camp of the Democrats. Its allegiance is unabashedly towards Mexico.
Money laundering? And we wonder why our southern borders are wide open? I would bet the farm that much of that kind of money finds its way to the Dummycrats coffers. Gotta keep those borders open and the money flow a comin! (sarc)
I suspect many of them. That’s why drugs will never be legalized.Too much cash to perpetuate the WOD!
As far as I look at it, it involves many on both sides . I don’t trust any of them anymore. Law enforcement is a joke in this country.
Especially the LEO. New body armor and night vision for everyone!
” O - Bama, won’t you buy me - a new Abrahams tank ?’
“My buds all drive strykers - I must make amends.”
Our Government has OWNED the Cartels since they Created them.
I think you have that backwards - the cartels appear to own the government.
For years, the dirty sheriff in my county kept the county dry because he was getting a commission from the local bootleggers. The phone for the taxi stand across the street rang inside the sheriff’s office who would then dispatch the taxi driver to deliver booze.
Unless of course you owe $20 in back taxes. Then they spend millions trying to get it!
not much difference at this point
