4 US and Mexican anti-cartel officials died in a “car accident” in Chihuahua while destroying clandestine drug labs. The dead include the director of the state’s entire investigation agency,basically the top cop on cartel cases.
Top anti-cartel officials dying in a crash while actively raiding drug labs in cartel territory? unluckiest coincidence in history…or big time suspect.

Why was the director of the entire agency doing frontline work at clandestine labs? That seems like someone you wouldnt want to have breaching doors and busting up lab equipment.

Oh that gets better:
Kash Patel (who is Hindu and his only experience with the military was as a civilian attorney for the DOD) giving a eulogy for Charlie Kirk (a Mormon who's only connection to military service was getting rejected by West Point) and states that they would meet again in the Viking afterlife ... Despite them not being friends and having no regular communication outside of formalities at CPAC events.

Quick correction, Charlie Kirk was an [evangelical](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk#Religious_views), not a Mormon.

Say what you will about the Trump Administration and people they’ve rushed through the hiring process, but there are plenty of career law enforcement who’ve been feds for decades, and who are among the best in the world. They don’t take kindly to targeted assassinations of American law enforcement officials. They can solve the case, as long as leadership does not get in their way or otherwise thwart their efforts.

Honestly, unless the authorities are hiding the details to.save face, I'm inclined to believe it was a car accident. Drug cartels don't stage things to look like accidents. Very specifically the opposites generally. They're usually big on "sending a message".

No, and no other relevant details either.
No idea if the 4 dead were 4/4 occupants, if there was another car in the collision + their status, etc.
Not even a picture, which could instantly dispel ideas of the car being attacked/exploded. Car bombs are still way more common than I'd like.
This is like the most suspicious possible way to report such an event, lol.
