  1. Highest criminal profile case should be Hillary and the fraudulent administration . What’s up with that US?

  2. So its true the USA is in the drug business lol 😂

  3. For years I’ve been saying US has the MOST corrupt government. Now I’m actually seeing it live. This is why foreign countries never liked US. Because they know it’s the biggest corrupt government. They need to mine their business. Worry about your own. Clean up your garbage because you certainly have a lot

  4. We consume the drugs and then we arrest the ones sending us the drugs LOL

  5. Out of all the contries in the world it seems like about 90% of them are hugely corrupted.

  6. The US blame other people in other country’s but what the American government does they don’t get in trouble for it 🤣🤣

  13. USA could never arrest their own leader because they cover up all the illegal crimes they commit

  14. CIA.. is the cartel now.. all this countries should stop the CIA from coming to their country.. they’re the ones that let certain cartels do business and stop other ones they give power to other ones

  15. How you charge a person that’s not a US citizen how this laws work?

  16. What is not being reported= This guy was a known drug trafficker back in 2004, years before Obama/Biden supported the coup in Honduras and backed his presidency. This coup overthrew a democratically elected president because he leaned Left, this is US Latin American policy.
    But what is more concerning is that the CIA finally admitted to allowing massive amounts of cocaine into the US that fueled the crack epidemic. There has been no consequence, so we must assume this activity is still ongoing.
    Millions of lives destroyed by this

  17. Great Hire Better Presidents Peace an Support over There

  18. He was put in power by the United States backed military coup😂

  19. Why cant America learn from them

  20. Alvaro Uribe Velez, TOP DRUG TRAFFICKER IN HISTORY.. In charge of Colombia (top producer of cocaine) for over 20 years.

    Always free.

  21. He dumb af if he would had fled to cuba or Nicaragua he would still be sipping on some cafecito chilling

  22. What about the C.I.A they literally take part in drug trafficking and weapons but ohhh you guys wanna go get a dude in Honduras lmao

  23. Now, if we can just put Donnie behind bars. These two could share a cell together.

  24. These are situations that I cant stand America..America is doing world wide policing..why..on other continents that Americans dont live.
    And this is after the fact..can I get attested for all the weed I sold years ago..

  28. America is a new world 3 world country

  29. Arrest all the drugs users! 🤪

  30. Why the world sit back and watch America destroy people lives a corrupt country where people are being killed murder women and children are being slaughter every single day but your days are numbered America
