Show me the money

If I were on a Congressional committee investigating the bombing of the "narco-terrorist" boats I'd ask, "Where are the drugs?"

They are supposedly sinking these boats because they are running drugs yet no drugs have been recovered from any of the sinkings to my knowledge. We've all seen press conferences in drug cases where prosecutors have a table piled high with drugs when announcing arrests or indictments in drug cases. It makes good theater.

So after the first strike supposedly the "narco-terrorists" were in the water flipping over pieces of the destroyed boat and trying to load boxes of drugs into them to continue their smuggling operations. No matter that they no longer had a boat to transport them and would have had to swim over 1,000 miles on pieces of a destroyed boat to get them to America. So why didn't the Navy swoop in and recover some of those drug boxes so that they could show just how bad these drug smugglers really are? Not difficult and photo op opportunities galore for Trump to try to justify his claims of drug smuggling.

What excuse could there be for not gathering that evidence? Every single package of drugs in every single attack sunk along with the boats? Yeah, sure.
