Trump: 'Corrupt' Mexican Officials Let Drug Kingpin Escape
Newsmax ^ | 12 Jul 2015 | Greg Richter

Posted on 07/13/2015 1:55:19 PM PDT by george76

Donald Trump on Sunday blasted "corrupt Mexican officials" for letting a notorious drug kingpin escape from a maximum security prison.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped the prison by riding a motorcycle through a mile-long tunnel that was connected to the shower area of Guzman's cell. It is his second escape, and prison employees are being questioned.

Trump noted that the last time Guzman escaped he was free for 13 years.

"He has been selling drugs in the U.S. big-time – a major kingpin," he said in a statement sent to the media.

"He is possibly in the U.S. and his drugs and drug dealers freely cross into the United States through our pathetic border," Trump said. "This is just one example of the many instances of Mexico taking advantage of the United States. They take our country's money but leave the tremendous crime, much of which is a result of the rampant drug trafficking."

It’s pathetic that Trump has to say the words every ‘lesser evil’ POS in the GOP should have been saying for 20 years.

Probably not much doubt about that. Just a question of how high up the corrupt officials were: prison guard, warden, local elected officials, state or national officials? Could have been a few drug cartel members in key spots.

"prison employees are being questioned"

Would you prefer small bills or large bills, senor?

You can say what you want about Trump- he’s nailed it again.

El Chapstick was indeed set free.

Of course that’s true. Refreshing to hear a candidate speak the truth

El Cimpo probably was driven out the front gate in a limo.

Trump doesn’t know when to shut up.

Yesterday, Trump said he would “kick Chapo’s ass”

Chapo responded by telling him to shut up.

So, Trump calls for the FBI.

LOL

What are you talking about?

Don’t t you think the U.S. Has enough issues to deal without without dealing with internal Mexico issues?

The border issues ARE from internal Mex Govt issues. Why do you think they printed comic books for years showing their non educated population how to cross the border and get bennies?

The Mex Govt is FUNDED by the billions that illegals send home to Mexico.

Like Trump was saying....a lot of scum in Mexico. My problem is that we were trying to get this guy removed to one of our maximum security prisons.

There were a couple dudes (one's living, one's dead) here in NY who will tell you how secure they are.

Lesser evil? It is just that they don’t have a set.

Article I read said the dirt removed for the tunnel would have taken 350 dumptruck loads to haul it away. And nobody noticed? Riiiiiiight! El Chimpo probably walked out the front door.
