A former American diplomat who served as a U.S. ambassador to Bolivia has been arrested and accused of secretly serving as an agent of Cuba’s government, according to The Associated Press.

Officials say Manuel Rocha, 73, was arrested in Miami on Friday on a criminal complaint.

According to sources, more details about the case are expected to be made public at a court appearance Monday.

From what I understand half the Obama administration could be accused of the same thing.

The politicians and bureaucrats are selling us out as fast as they can. It’s a culture of corruption.

The New York Post says that some of his comments late in the Bolivian presidential campaign season gave Evo Morales a last minute boost, putting him over the top....

This guy was also assigned to Argentina during their monetary crisis some years ago.

The mining company he is involved in is Carrick Gold ...

To: BenLurkin
Barrick Gold is tied in with the Clintons.
From a 2007 report on their website
“As part of our continued involvement
in the Clinton Global Initiative, Barrick
committed to support the Clinton
Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative
in September 2007.”

That would be Frank Giustra who runs the gold mining on Haiti and is a close friend of Bill and Hill

If you can't get a "book deal" like Rapin' Bill or Hillary!, or an Indonesian scholarship like Odiousbama, you sign up with Fidel, Maduro or Justine Trudeau, Fidel's kid...

He was a ‘career’ diplomat... The most dangerous kind there us. Too much time spent in foreign postings associating themselves with spies and actors working for the left side of the political spectrum bent on destroying democracy and capitalism.

Doesn’t everybody know that Cuba is free territory in America that’s what they said on the radio when I listened to Cuba when I was young....sarc

Of course the Clintonistas sent Elian Gonzalez back to paradise so I’m not surprised.
