Joe Biden’s DHS Nominee’s Troubling Past with Drug Smuggler Revealed

There are many reasons why former Vice President Joe Biden’s selection of Alejandro Mayorkas for the Department of Homeland Security secretary position is troubling. But there is one episode in particular that screams out among them. That would be Mayorkas’ role in President Bill Clinton’s January 2001 grant of clemency to a clearly guilty drug smuggler named Carlos Vignali.

An ABC News article written by Josh Gerstein a month after Vignali’s release from prison tells the story. At the time, Vignali had served “less than six years of a 14-and-a-half year sentence for cocaine trafficking.” He had been a key player in a 30-member drug ring. No one was more stunned than the detectives who had worked on this case.

Mayorkas was the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California at the time. He lobbied hard on Vignali’s behalf.

While Mayorkas does not recall the details of his conversation, he now concedes that his call conveyed support for the Vignali commutation.”

Proof, that this appointee, to a position that is critical to the National Security of our Country, can be bought.

  1. Always said Democrats turned the US into a Drug users haven and encouraged the import of illegal drugs. I have been saying that since the mass drug infection starting in the 1960’s. Look at the facts. Sophisticated tunnels and such in Democrat run States.
