There are some interesting aspects to the Matthews story, involving Montana, Escobar, the usual Justice Department corruption, and much more. He was working for U.S. Customs in San Antonio, about to ensnare major drug cartels--with CIA connections--and had discovered drug money going to a political party in Midland, Texas. Justice Department prosecutors then stepped in and charged Matthews for drug smuggling--which was part of the Customs undercover operation--which effectively protected the drug cartels, the CIA, and blocked exposure of the drug money to a major political party. It is an interesting safa, with the uusual Justice Department crud involved.
