After Escobar

“Needless to say, this wasn’t some kind of caper or daring prison bust pulled off by an Ocean’s Eleven-style team of criminal experts.” - After Escobar @afterescobar

“Regarding the NVC, and exactly how they fell, well, that’s a story for another time.” - After Escobar Here’s to a story, for another time, and to the oldest stories known to mankind: The stories of greed, power, lust, and other human frailties. And justice. @afterescobar

@JMoakley @Supersonic_Red @MikeyDiMercurio @joecourtemanche Thanks, brother. 🤙

@Supersonic_Red @afterescobar @MikeyDiMercurio @joecourtemanche Thanks. It’s exactly what I was going for, while simultaneously trying to shamelessly plug “After Escobar,” which I am enjoying…immensely.

“…but the property was too expansive (and the heat too unbearable) for the dogs to work effectively.” - After Escobar @afterescobar @MikeyDiMercurio @Supersonic_Red @joecourtemanche A different kind of “expansive” for sure 😉

“…in the law enforcement game, at the end of the day, all you have is your word. Your word is your bond, your integrity, and your reputation.” - After Escobar @afterescobar m.youtube.com/watch?v=HppKwv…

@JMoakley Very true!!

“…three general principles” (1) There’s no such thing as a coincidence, (2) everything happens for a reason, and (3) nothing is ever exactly what it seems. - After Escobar @afterescobar

@SaraCarterDC @realDonaldTrump Congrats!!

Thank you @realDonaldTrump for your confidence and faith in me to lead the charge to end the scourge of illegal drugs that have killed millions of Americans and have robbed too many families of their children. I will work tirelessly to support your vision to put every Narco-terrorist on notice, letting them know their days of killing Americans are over. I, along with our team @ONDCP will work everyday to put American families first and to build a safer healthier America, free of illicit drugs. We will provide every American with the tools and resources to protect themselves and their children from drug addiction- we’re in this fight together, we can’t win this alone.

Chris Feistl spent 26 years working for the DEA, including three years in Colombia during the 1990s, helping take down one of the most powerful drug empires in history — the Cali Cartel. His real-life work was portrayed in Narcos: Season 3, but the truth behind the show is even wilder. From undercover operations to high-stakes cartel takedowns, he witnessed firsthand the danger, corruption, and chaos of the war on drugs. Over his career, he earned the DEA Award of Honor, Award for Exceptional Service, and multiple Performance Awards for his role in international investigations. In this exclusive interview, he opens up about what really happened in Colombia, how Narcos got it right (and wrong), and what it was like to spend decades hunting some of the world’s most dangerous traffickers.

A DEA agents dream job was always Miami Florida in the 80’s, it was the coca*ne pinnacle of America #ianbick #cartel
