Government Dropping the Ball on Drugs and Terrorism Ep. 268: Today, I'm joined by Derek Maltz, former head of the DEA’s Special Operations Division. He warns us that we are missing the most dangerous angle of the drug crisis. So much of the drug trade is funding terrorism, and this is done by criminal aliens allowed on our own soil. We tie together China, Mexican cartels, Middle Eastern immigrants funding terror, drugs, crime, sanctuary cities, and weak-on-crime laws. A tall order for one show! Derek explains the need for more cross-agency cooperation and how Bruce Ohr and Robert Mueller dropped the ball on drug leads that could have exposed major terrorist plots and networks. After listening to this show, you will see why now is the worst time to go soft on drug trafficking.
