A high-ranking Mexican drug cartel operative currently in U.S. custody is making startling allegations that the failed federal gun-walking operation known as ?Fast and Furious? isn?t what you think it is.
It wasn?t about tracking guns, it was about supplying them ? all part of an elaborate agreement between the U.S. government and Mexico?s powerful Sinaloa Cartel to take down rival cartels.
The explosive allegations are being made by Jesus Vicente Zambada-Niebla, known as the Sinaloa Cartel?s ?logistics coordinator.? He was extradited to the Chicago last year to face federal drug charges.
Based on the alleged agreement ?the Sinaloa Cartel under the leadership of defendant?s father, Ismael Zambada-Niebla and ?Chapo? Guzman, were given carte blanche to continue to smuggle tons of illicit drugs into Chicago and the rest of the United States and were also protected by the United States government from arrest and prosecution in return for providing information against rival cartels which helped Mexican and United States authorities capture or kill thousands of rival cartel members,? states a motion for discovery filed in U.S. District Court by Zambada-Niebla?s attorney in July 2011.
Is our Justice Department really that impotent that it has to make deals with drug cartels?
Is it any wonder they can't secure the border.
