one and a half billion dollars that's
correct what did you do with that money
we made so much money we had to keep an
apartment is to keep the cash
it was floor to the ceiling dollars we
had to rotate the money from the top to
the bottom so prevent mold from coming
under way mr. Blandon were you working
with a partner at that time this Norwin
Meneses
Norwin Meneses scuse me that's great
wait a second what what exactly is
happening here your honor clearly this
reporter is giving direction to counsel
approach
thank you
miss Mantin and the first row is a
reporter and he's giving questions to
counsel if he is and I'm not saying that
he is no he is okay he is but there's
nothing in the rules that says he can't
I don't like it but I'm not gonna stop
it for now then I am compelled to warn
the court that this door leads to very
sensitive national security matters and
maybe you shouldn't have opened it
mr. Blandon is it true that you and
Norwin Meneses were in communication
with the federal government together can
you tell us who in the federal
government you were in communication
with who were you working with the FBI
mr. Dodson can't answer that question
for you mr. Blandon remember you're
under oath
the DEA no it was the CIA the Central
Intelligence Agency is so mr. Blandon
what did the CIA have you do objection
relevance
your honor overruled mr. Blandon answer
the question
we were asked to support a free and
democratic Nicaragua the Contras the
rebels by sending planes into Nicaragua
racing running here and they do ask for
the world mr. Blandon did the CIA
specifically know that you were selling
cocaine to buy guns and supplies to
support its cause
objection this line of questioning he
has absolutely no relevance overruled
they knew who we were
