Former DEA agent Jose Irizarry was known for his expensive tastes and high-profile drug seizures. He's now accused of conspiring to launder more than $7 million in illicit drug proceeds, five current and former law enforcement officials tell the AP.

punkitt3n The fact that he was 'known' for his expensive tastes should have raised flags right? I mean given that on the high end, a DEA agent makes under 100k, it seems a bit odd that he was 'known' for expensive tastes...

This (DEA) is how most drugs enter the US

Shocker. 🙄

Oh so he tried to cut them out the deal 😂😂 c’mon man y’all ain’t foolin me

When do we 'thank him for his service'

Rogue elements need to be weeded out

If you have the opportunity - as many have. You'll be corrupt!

So, Training Day?

That's how the drug trade works

Wow a lot of shit went on during the obama admin ... journalists were really napping

It gets to you, that's why you need a high work ethic.

ACherry46 Fallow the money you will find law makers also. They call it lobbyist!!

The drug war has always been a cover for the CIA and DEA to make money.

Of course he was. The DEA & cartels work together, until the cartel leader gets too powerful. Then the DEA eliminates him & promotes the next guy in line.

Was he part of the “Pro Hillary” team too? You know, along with all the other criminals.

A corrupt cop 👮‍♀️. Pretends to be shocked 😯

hoyt took over for alonzo harris after all...

I’m in for 7 mil .....ain’t gotta ask me twice

Remind me how Trump 's wall would have stopped the drug flow ? A wall won't keep out all the criminals that are already here, especially the ones in law enforcement. Time to clean house. TrumpCrimeSyndicate dirttyDEA

What a surprise! /not

What the hell were Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch, Obama's Attorneys Generals doing? Sleeping?

Mission Possible. He knew all the tricks and back roads.

Witch hunt fake news

Can’t be taking the agency’s cut.

Training Day part 2 ...!!

End the war on drugs.

Duh...anybody with a little brain in their head knows you must have an inside man for the ups and downs of cartel drugs...this doesn’t surprise me...next story...

This is why no progress is made on the so called drug war. Corrupt DEA, FBI, DOJ !

'You claim i'm sellin crack, but you be doin that!' - KRS ONE

Big Money in drugs, both sides profit from it.

Looks like it was under Obama’s DEA.....There were other red flags. In 2010, Irizarry declared bankruptcy with debts of almost $500,000, but he was nevertheless permitted to handle financial transactions in his role at the DEA.

How bad can you break?

Hola, DEA.

There is way too much money involved in drug sales that a wall will never succeed in stopping! Everybody can be bought! This guy proves it!

The list of people surprised by this:

Drain the swamp

Attn : TomiLahren

When your DEA agents launder money & you can score street grade drugs in your MAXIMUM security prisons it's time to rethink the whole war. Because IMHO we are LOSING!

Oh my god, carbohydrates are attacking!

Gee trump, with all the money he, supposedly stole you could have had your wall built. Better watch out for your agents.

... when you look at all that cash, it sure tests your integrity. Jose' failed the test ...

Trump to announce Jose Irizarry to lead the Drug Enforcement Administration.

Sounds like a good candidate for a Trump pardon.

Build a wall around him?

Predictions: A Jose Irizarry Netflix series premiere out within 2 months

Sounds like those 'five former...' etc are trying to cover their OWN corrupt asses by hanging this guy's corrupt ass out to dry. There isn't a SINGLE DEA AGENT that's EVER been clean. EVER.

Criminal dude working with criminals disguised as the dude pursuing criminals, you dudes dont know what duty is. legalize cannabis

He best be serving 2 life terms in high max prison.

But mexico, the wall! Yet we have american police and military trying to smuggle in drugs into the US?

How do you think he could dress have such expensive things

This is that movie with a young Natalie Portman, right?

He’s personally trying to pay for the wall. Leave him alone.

What was that about a wall

DEA says 'vast majority' of drugs entering U.S. come through legal ports of entryFact check: According to a 2015 National Drug Threat Assessment by the DEA, Mexican drug cartels “transport the bulk of their drugs over the Southwest border through ports of entry (POEs) using passenger vehicles or tractor trailers.' Do they have a legal drivers license, plate number and motor vehicle accident insurance like ALL AMERICANS who use our roads are required to have?
