A little more background

So what gives and why the apparent support for El Chapo as opposed to POTUS?

Maybe this? He had a deal to do and it went sideways with Fast and Furious but he escaped and then got caught again.

About the relationship of Hezbollah with drug trafficking, U.S. Marine General John Kelly, commander of the Southern Command, said in a speech delivered to an audience at the National Defense University in Washington in October 2014 that “we know that some of the [cocaine] money that comes out of the United States is laundered into the coffers of Hezbollah.”

For benefit of Iran deal?

Hezbollah operatives were knee-deep in efforts to supply Iraqi and Afghan insurgents with a new type of Improvised Explosive Device called Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFP) which wreaked havoc on American troops and was responsible for over 500 American deaths and the maiming of many more. Moreover, Hezbollah acted on behalf of Iran to obtain illicit material for Iran’s rogue nuclear program.

The names of those involved in these illicit schemes were known to the DEA and its operatives were ready to pounce. But the Obama administration had other ideas. It delayed, obstructed and ultimately thwarted the DEA’s law enforcement efforts. Project Cassandra was shut down and its agents were reassigned. Years of meticulous investigations which netted a treasure trove of intelligence on the inner workings of Hezbollah and its operatives were discarded and lost.

…

In addition, there was an absurd belief within the administration that America could engage with “moderate elements” of Hezbollah. That’s akin to saying that the Allies could deal with the “moderate wing” of the Nazi party. The chief proponent of this ridiculous policy was CIA chief John “Al-Quds” Brennan. Brennan saw Hezbollah as evolving from “a purely terrorist organization” to a militia and ultimately to a political party with representatives in the Lebanese government. But what Brennan overlooked was that Hezbollah operates a full-fledged army within the sovereign borders Lebanon in flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolutions, has regulated the Lebanese army to a subordinate auxiliary role, and has absorbed most Lebanese state institutions through brute force and intimidation.

Why all the fuss? Drugs, money, trafficking all go together and if the Taliban took over Afghanistan prior to 17 years ago today, why not take advantage of a crisis and get it back under control?
