Wait, how many pounds of drugs did the DOJ and FBI seize yesterday?

The reports said that there was almost 1/2 million dollars worth of drugs found on board a boat heading to the US!

I’m betting that is an extremely exaggerated claim? If true? Donnie Jr will have get his stuff from somewhere else? There goes Trump’s tariff tax on illegal imported drugs?

I just find it odd that on the day of Trump’s blink on the tariffs, this sort of a story is being told? I don’t trust Trump and his goons from a fabricated narrative to make it look good!

Story from CBS Radio News.

About two weeks ago, South Korea boarded a drug-boat with an estimated street value of $697 million on board.

It's not nothing, and "yay, it's off the streets", is not faint praise but the only praise.
