Sen. Graham, when questioning Justice Kavanaugh during confirmation, specifically made the point of delineating wartime law from standard criminal law. Justice Kavanaugh replied that there was indeed such a body of law & that said body of law was applicable because the US was currently on a wartime footing as a result of the US Congress having passed a resolution declaring war on terror.
El Chapo's reported testimony regarding payments to US & Mexican politicians/officials, in exchange for lack of law enforcement action & border security, seems unlikely to be an criminal enterprise organically created among said politicians/officials and El Chapo.
Rather, it seems quite probable that the declaration of Mexican Cartels as terrorists is exactly how those individuals [epstein, et al] & institutions [CF] suspected of engaging in human trafficking, along with those individuals involved in the attempted coup of a duly elected President of the US will be swept under the umbrella of wartime law, as it is likely that all of these actions will be factually tied to the operations of the Mexican Cartels.
Given the recent Q post
"Relevant to today re: F assets.
Deconstruction of foreign controlled [intel] US media [+alt] critical.
Untouchable re: State backed?
Epstein thought so.
Puppets & Puppet Masters.
Q"
It is interesting to consider if the recent revelation of James "Corney" vs Comey, will be found to be the result of electronic intrusions of DOJ computer systems by a foreign power (a supposed ally even, one receiving billions in US aid and hardware) & possibly achieved with NSA developed tools leaked by ES, as Corney/Comey certainly carries himself with the arrogance of being "Untouchable re: State backed".
