It seems so so very unlikely that there would be 11 people on a drug running boat.

These people are madness, are wanton murderers.

Keep in mind there will be multiple videos of the operation. These should be available to congress.

I seriously doubt Congress will be able to do anything. This administration just doesn't give a damn what anyone thinks.

Congress can vote to remove the President.

Genuinely, why? If you have $100 million in drugs (who knows how much) on the boat, you're going to need a bunch of hands to hold a bunch of guns to protect it.

To me, 11 people is very reasonable, to protect that much money.

That was my first thought, sounds like a lot of overhead and added risk for transporting drugs. A lot of effort was put into making narco subs operable with as few people as possible and some are now even fully automated. This doesn’t pass the sniff test.

2 possibilities come to mind:

1) double or triple down on your take, by trafficking a bunch of people that want to be somwhere out of venuzuela.

2) when the boat is close to shore, people start grabbing a package or two, and jump out and run for it. maybe a couple miles apart or until the gig is up and the last few run or get caught.
