Attorney Roberto Yzaguirre, who has represented many Gulf Cartel bosses?
Oh oh.....
In a 1996 Texas Monthly article, the magazine writes, The San Antonio lawyer started out defending friends who had been busted for smoking pot. Twenty-five years later, his clients are big-time dope dealers and international cocaine kingpins and he believes hes saving the world. http://www.texasmonthly.com/politics/the-high-times-of-gerry-goldstein/
Get this!
Around the time Yzaguirre was funding Clinton, he picked up another client with ties to the drug trade. This time it was Osiel Cardenas Guillen, another former head of the Gulf Cartel.
But here is where it gets good!
According to The McAllen Monitor, Guillen was arrested in 2000 in Mexico and was extradited to the U.S. in 2007. Guillen was represented by Yzaguirre.
Then in 2014, Yzaguirre, according to The Dallas Morning News and the Associated Press, Juan Francisco Saenz-Tamez, the head of the Gulf Cartel, was arrested by US authorities in South Texas after being indicted on three drug and money launder charges. Again, Clinton donor Roberto Yzaguirre was the lawyer of choice.
More conflict of interest it seems. When it comes to Hillary, it is everywhere.
