But why would the DEA outwardly announce itself while assassinating someone?

  Perhaps because they believe they are killing a drug lord, and didn't do their research to find out this was the address of the president (who also may be the drug lord)?

    You are starting to sound like those YouTube videos that pick out a bunch of numbers at random and then end with "And see!! ILLUMINATI!!"

      I prefer tea leaves and coffee grounds. :) HN has been gradually colonized by Trump truthers, anti-science, antivaxx, conspiracy theorist, uneducated individuals, trolls, and people outside startups who can't out down irrationality or their egos.

    This sounds like an action-comedy. I imagine the new guy was the one who blurted it out, and the others gave him shit for it the whole ride back home in the chopper. Later they went out for beers, and the night ended with some fistfights in a parking lot and a bit of male bonding.

    So...they were serving a no-knock warrant on the wrong house? I like it.
