Why quote me and make that statement? I said nothing of wishing him dead. Why do you assume his new found friend would do that?

Easier than going to the first page to copy this.

I would rather start a rumor that Sean Penn told the Federales where El Chapo was. Maybe the cartel would kill Penn and we would be spared anymore of his BS/


I'm fairly certain you up voted that. Also, the implication of your statement is clear and you are not that subtle about it.

I agree. I hate the fact that Americans are allowed to move around freely. I should be able to decide who gets to go where and when.


Am I doing it right?

Your assumption on the upvote is incorrect. As far as your second statement, I take it that you believe Chapo to be a nefarious and deadly man? Collaborating with such a man has risks, does it not? And in that instance, there is but one person to blame if something bad were to fall upon him. I don't know why you seem shocked that playing with fire could result in burns.

Please show us the statute for obstruction you are referring to.

Under US law, I was referring to the omnibus provision of 18 USC 1503, "interfering with the due administration of justice." But as stated in the OP, I'm not a Mexican attorney so I have no idea what their take on it is. But since you're so smart maybe you can explain it to a dummy like me.

Please explain to us how visiting someone "interferes with the due administration of justice."

Well, it doesn't. And if you take Penn's version of events at face value there may not be anything to prosecute. But if he is understating his role in providing burner phones, using secret email accounts and other means of covering up a fugative's location, then he may have. Again: I never said he was guilty of anything, but if I were a federal prosecutor I'd be a little curious. If I were a Mexican federale I'd probably be a little pissed.

This is America. We lock people up in cages more than anyone else. Of course visiting someone is illegal somehow under some loose interpretation of the law.

What about Mark "Cutback" Davis or Bob "Jungle Death" Gerrard?

Because they don't have the ability to track and trace his every move if they wanted to. Is that your contention?

What would they be pissed about? Because he has access and they don't? Who's fault is that?

Except, he did. For a commercial organization and monetary gain. He admittedly agreed to keep secret the whereabouts of someone responsible for the murder and torture of tens of thousands of people. But ignore that.

I'm no fan of Penn. He's a Grade-A POS for sure. Having said that, I don't think he deserves to be prosecuted for this. His role in this situation was a journalist, not a criminal. Reporter's protection should apply, imo. He has no obligation to identify anything unless subpoenaed.
