Former AG Bill Barr said Mexican drug cartels should be wiped off the Earth like ISIS because they're far too rich and powerful to prosecute.
Barr, 72, sat down with Newsmax's Greta Van Susteren to discuss to Mexican drug cartels.
He likened them to terrorist groups, and said they should be treated as such, particularly as they've been blamed for inundating the US with deadly fentanyl.
'I think [the Mexicans] have to be forced and pushed into action with us,' he said. 'I think we have to more active against the cartels. I

Works for nne. Remember the smart bomb attack on the cartel leaders in one of Clancy's novels?
Always seemed like good idea to me.

The cartels are doing pretty well off of the current administration. They probably donated to Biden's campaign.

Hey Bill, then someone needs to close the borders fast. These drug cartels are not just getting rich off drugs but also human trafficking.

Unfortunately nobody is going to wipe out the Mexican cartels as too many politicians and others on both sides of the border are being paid off directly and indirectly to continue to allow the cartels to operate their billion dollar illicit drug trade throughout the USA and other countries. Throughout the USA, cartel drugs are moved from one Mexican illegal alien community to other Mexican illegal alien communities in and around so-called sanctuary cities that are essentially cartel bases inside the USA. By now anyone who has been paying attention knows that Biden and the Democrats are dead set against messing with illegal aliens (and cartel operatives) in sanctuary cities, so it is clear to see what is going on.

Maybe their last check bounced. And 2, that was a paper-encased, laser guided bomb. It left, as their scientist told them 'everywhere a cellulose residue'. But unfortunately, they missed their primary target.; he arrived late. Those kind of mistakes could be avoided this time around.

Talk is cheap and the time for talking has long passed. But since you’ve got the floor, Mr. Barr, please explain to us what you know about yours and your fathers relationship to Jeffrey Epstein and also how he died.

I believe Barr had his chance to do something about these horrific crimes and others under the Trump administration. I can’t think of a single significant prosecution that Barr oversaw as AG. Furthermore, his insistence that the 2020 election was fair and that there was no significant election fraud played a huge part in what is happening today. We could have prevented the drug and human trafficking that Biden has caused if he would have bothered to really look into all the evidence of election fraud. He dismissed it out of hand. Look what his negligence has done? How many lives have been lost and destroyed by Biden’s open border? To now come out and make these strong statements on drug and human trafficking is laughable. Elitist cowards like Bill Barr have a lot to answer for. But for a stolen election that he refused to investigate, many lives would be saved and our country would not be on this path to destruction. Barr and his fellow Trump haters bear a lot of responsibility for what is happening to the country now. Thanks for nothing, Ralphie. We will not forget your betrayal.

Well Bill this could have happened but you didn’t try to help the man who would have worked with to get this accomplished. So now you need to just shut your pie hole and live with the consequences.

Our corrupted leaders and our compromise military would have their hands full. The cartel cockroaches all have safe houses in the US and would scurry across our porous non-border and wait out any operations.

Seriously what did Billy Barr ever do. Hw knew Mueller's hearings were a hoax, he knew Comey lied under oath to congress, he knew the FBI lied to the Fisa courts and he knew the election was stolen. What did he do. NOTHING, NADDA, ZIPPO. And now this freakin swamp Buffalo wants us to listen to his advice. About the cartels he's correct but everybody except Biden knows that. Bottom line, the man failed his country, his president and the American people. Get it yet. Wake up...

All WE need to do...is blow out the tires of the trucks that the cartels use to transport the illegals....walking for four months will discourage most participants.....in the meantime...shop locally...use U S cash for purchases...and vote the commie china sympathizers out of office...clean out the DC swamp...and always remember that Barr lacked courage when our country was being attacked with voter fraud and the installation of a phony president....he bares the blame....along with social media and the fake news....

Oh the Mexican cartels did business openly well before the enemies of the USA installed JB administration. Three Texas Governors in a row never did a darn thing when they should have fought them like Rudy GUILIANI fought the NYC mafia kingdom. Did McCain ever once declare war on these cartels conducting business in beautiful Arizona? Nope! Now tough talker Bill Barr is out there blabbing at the behest of the establishment. He knows a nice juicy post awaits him in a Pence administration. So sickening.

Occasionally the righteous make righteous noises. Money talks, bullsh-tuff walks. The US government is walking away from the border, surrendering American sovereignty amid a slew of non-productive activity. Makes for great campaign noise.

“Like ISIS” means destruction by the US military, which Barr never controlled. Wiping out the cartels is not a job for a police agency but something Delta a s SEALs could pull off if unleashed with air support.

Isn't it funny though, Mr. Barr, that you were convinced the Great Election Fraud of 2020 was a non-starter. So your moral principles only apply when convenient.

Build s wall. Deep and high. Will that stop all the drugs and human trafficking? Probably not. And that’s when the other rules should kick in: small quantity smuggling? 5 years in a cheap desert work camp wearing pink underwear and eating bologna sammitches of questionable origin. Large scale smuggling? Death penalty.
