Max Blumenthal exposes CIA-cartel connections (TheGrayzone)

In a riveting interview with OANN host and former US congressman Matt Gaetz, The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal discusses the recent indictment of a former top DEA official and veteran CIA asset in a $12 million scheme to launder money and procure drones for Mexico's Jalisco cartel. Blumenthal uses the scandal as a window into the US government's history of covert collaboration with drug traffickers, explaining how the CIA created Venezuela's so-called "Cartel of the Suns," and calling out Trump's pardon of Juan Orlando Hernandez, the former Honduran president convicted of shipping over 400 tons of cocaine into the US.
