Mexico didn’t want Trump handling El Chapo extradition

“Mexico wanted to get it done before the proverbial wall was built — both with bricks and bombastic diplomacy by the Trump Administration,” explained a federal law enforcement source familiar with the case.

“Mexico wanted to get this done with a Justice Department it knows and trusts, that understands the gravity and implications of the crimes that ‘El Chapo’ has been apart of,” the source said. “That’s not to say that the next Justice Department won’t be just as competent. But with the Trump Administration, everything is a question mark.”
