As nuts as it sounds...it really does happen! And it was under President Reagan. So while Nancy Reagan was pushing the "Just Say NO To Drugs" campaign, the Feds were pushing really good cocaine to all the dealers in Miami!
They've been busted time and time again. It's well known now, and drug running is the primary way the CIA funds "off book" operations around the World. They won't risk disclosure of their dark operations by going to congress for funding. Especially when their activities are aimed towards US government actors from time to time.
