On the District Sentinel radio show, I talked about my latest Deep State story on Elliott Abrams, the U.S. special envoy to Venezuela and veteran of U.S. regime change operations in Latin America.
The best way to understand Abrams and Trump’s policy toward the bitterly divided South American country is to know Abrams’ record in the region.
Abrams’ effort to protect a CIA-connected drug trafficker in the 1980s was typical of Reagan administration policy at the time. Drug traffickers who undertook covert missions for the U.S. regime change policy in Nicaragua could count on the U.S. government to look the other way when it came to their illegal activities.
The CIA actually documented the story better than anyone as I explain to hosts Sam Knight and Sam Sacks.
