Morning all! I wish the article had contained a more specific time line. It looks like:

Vera was filmed on August 18th.
Vera contacted “law enforcement” two days later, which would be August 20th.
“The detective (his cousin?) contacted another police official..” When?
The other official (human smuggling) asked for more info. When?
Vera responded several days later. What date was that?
Vera said he’d learned the info he received was not true. How did he learn that?

So, I guess I’m wondering a couple of things:

Was the first tape (e.g. east coast offices) aired prior to Vera’s response to the request for more info? Is that how he learned that it was a setup? If not, how did he learn that it was a setup?

Why would Vera have “played along” with the prostitute/pimp to the extent of telling them he had contacts in Tijuana? If he was trying to set them up, why would he wait two days to contact his cousin the cop? And why would it take “several days” more to provide the additional information to the human smuggling officer?

It’s either that the story is very poorly written, or that something just doesn’t add up.

Think I’ll wait for more information.
