CLAYTON, NC (The Johnston County Report) – An overnight drug bust is being considered one of the largest in Johnston County history.
The Johnston County Sheriff’s Office and federal DEA agents executed a search warrant at a home on Buckhorn Lane off Buffalo Road near Clayton late Monday night and seized 28 kilos of cocaine weighing 61.6 pounds and 20 pounds of marijuana.
Sheriff’s Captain Jeff Caldwell said the cocaine had a potential street value of $2.8 million and the marijuana a potential street value of $24,000.
Manuel Antonio Mendez, 40, of Buckhorn Lane, Clayton was charged with 6 felony drug trafficking offenses, two counts of conspiracy and one count of maintaining a vehicle or dwelling for a controlled substance.
Johnston County Sheriff Steve Bizzell said this is one of the biggest drug busts in the 19 years he has been Sheriff.
“This is just a good example of the partnership between us, state, and federal agencies working together for the good of Johnston County,” Sheriff Bizzell told WTSB News.

Trey Gowdy: FBI Covered-Up Hillary Clinton’s Crucial Role In Trump Surveillance
Rep. Trey Gowdy has slammed the FBI for covering-up Hillary Clinton’s role in convincing a FISA court to spy on the Trump campaign.
The chairman of the House Oversight Committee said judges would never have authorized the repeatedly renewed warrant to spy on Trump officials had they known the FBI were relying on a Clinton-funded dossier compiled by Christopher Steele.
Washingtontimes.com reports: “They could have easily said it was the DNC and Hillary Clinton. That would have been really easy,” Mr. Gowdy told CBS’s Face the Nation, referring to footnotes in the agents’ request to the court. “It took longer to explain it the way they did, than if they just come right out and said, ‘Hillary Clinton for America and DNC paid for it.’ But they didn’t do that.”
Mr. Gowdy was involved in drafting a four-page memo by the House Intelligence Committee that details the FBI’s decision to rely in part on Clinton-backed material to spy on Mr. Page in October 2016. It also explores the role of top Justice Department officials in renewing those snooping powers.
President Trump says the memo “totally vindicates” him, as he’s dogged by claims his campaign colluded with Russians in 2016.
Yet it’s kicking up a political firestorm, with Democrats chastising its lead author, Rep. Devin Nunes of California, for peeling back the curtain on the secretive U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and...

“Terrifying” Second Dossier Ties Very Closely to Hillary Clinton
The House Intelligence Committee chaired by Devin Nunes has five more memos of “wrongdoing” in the pipeline and they are investigating five top FBI officials. There is also intense scrutiny by the committee of a second dossier, currently in the hands of the FBI. It is linked very closely with Hillary Clinton.
COORDINATION WITH CLINTON OPERATIVES
Axios’s Jonathan Swan reported that a Republican committee member briefed on Nunes’ investigations told him: “There are several areas of concern where federal agencies used government resources to try to create a narrative and influence the election. Some have suggested coordination with Hilary Clinton operatives, [Sydney] Blumenthal and [Cody] Shearer, to back up the false narrative.”
The congressional investigators are looking at the State Department, not only the FBI.
CLINTON’S CLOSEST ALLIES WROTE THE SECOND DOSSIER
We also now know from intelligence documents that the FBI paid for Steele’s workand only fired him when he started leaking to the press. This man who despises Trump would have been working for the FBI post-election had he not leaked. We also know the FBI used the dossier to spy on Carter Page and the Trump inner circle. Steele was paid by Fusion GPS who were in turn paid by the Clinton campaign and the DNC.
The second dossier, like the first, is the work of the Clintons’ closest operatives.
While the media was quick to jump on the second dossier because it echoes parts of the first dossier, they ignored the fact that it was written by Cody Shearer, the Clinton “political fixer”. He has no background in espionage and operates in the shadows.
The second Clinton operative, Sidney Blumenthal, is recognized as a nasty guy who was banned from the State Department by Barack Obama. He remained Hillary’s unofficial adviser while she was at the State Department nonetheless.
As we know from the Libya email cache, Hillary relied on Blumenthal who had financial interests in the situation.
It should also be noted that it was Blumenthal’s account that led Guccifer to Hillary’s personal server.
Reporter Sara Carter says the FBI used the second dossier as backup for the first dossier.
DEMOCRATS ARE TERRIFIED OF THE SECOND DOSSIER
Sara Carter was more pointed than Mr. Swan Sunday morning on Fox & Friends.
The investigative reporter and Fox News contributor says the Democrats are terrified of the second dossier, authored by Clinton allies. Sara Carter reports:
We’re still waiting for the Inspector General’s report that is going to be coming out. That’s going to be directed at Andrew McCabe, now former director Andrew McCabe, and others. And I think they’re terrified what’s going to...

Good Samaritan With A Gun Comes To The Aid Of Utah Police Officer Under Attack
A good Samaritan with a concealed firearm stopped and helped a Utah police officer who was being beaten in the street. It all started Friday when the officer saw a man pulling clothing out of a donation bin and asked him to get out. From Fox 13:
Just before 2 p.m., an officer spotted a pair of feet dangling from a Tabitha’s Way donation bin along Main Street in Springville. He pulled over and asked the person to get out of the bin.
That person was Paul Douglas Anderson. Anderson eventually got out of the bin, leaving clothes and shoes on the ground, but he kept his hands in his pockets.
Springville Police said that officer asked Anderson multiple times to remove his hands from his pockets, for fear he had a weapon. When Anderson finally removed his hands, he used them to punch the officer in the face.
Derek Meyer happened to be driving by at that moment and saw the lone officer under attack. He made a quick U-turn, got out of his car and pulled his concealed weapon:
He told Fox 13 he got out of his car, drew his weapon and pointed it at Anderson, yelling at him to get off the officer and stop assaulting him.
Meyer said when Anderson saw the gun, he...

Greece: Afghan refugee, who asked for protection, arrested for possessing detonators and gas canisters
An Afghan refugee was arrested in Athens last week. The man possessed seven detonators for explosives and was apprehended by a Greek anti-terror police unit.
The special police unit was mobilised after a regular research revealed that the man possessed explosive materials. An initial research took place after the home owner complained about the man not paying his rent.
During a house visit seven detonators and numerous small butane gas containers were found. The man was arrested near the area of Lycabettus Hill in central Athens.
The suspect was given asylum in Greece after he said he needed “international protection”.
