40,000 feet it looks clear if youre in the weeds its a little murkier. You mentioned the family jewels. Imagine the irancontra situation. You look at the cold war the human debris is massive.

Werent the dea agents in colombia there to crack down on the agents who were on the cartels who were given funds to pay
