Episode 129: No Death Penalties and the Possibity of Military Action in Latin America
In this Episode, I look at the recent disclosure of President Trump's directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American cartels and what it might mean for Mexico and Venezuela. I then discuss the Department of Justice's recent decision to NOT seek the death penalty in its pending cases against El Mayo, Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, and Rafael Caro Quintero. In particular, I opine on the RCQ decision and what it does for the concept of closure in the Camarena case. Finally, I announce an indefinite hiatus from the podcast to focus on other matters, while I continue to investigate the Camarena case and other matters. I also note the re-start of the Cartels, Conspiracies, and Camarena YouTube channel.

Episode 128: Updates on Mayo, Ovidio, and Caro and the Turf War Between DEA and HSI
In this Episode, I provide an update on El Mayo's case, discuss Ovidio's guilty plea, and look at the discovery provided by the government to Caro Quintero's defense team. I then look at the complimentary and sometimes competitive roles of DEA and HSI and examine realignments of responsibilities and oversight proposed by the Trump administration that could place the DEA in a subordinate role to the HSI.
