- As former President George Weah touches down in Monrovia, the two record-breaking drug busts that started this saga — nearly half a billion dollars combined — have quietly gone still.
Somewhere in that silence sits a question this newspaper thinks Liberia must ask out loud: is one former Vice President really the whole story?

- Liberian law is openly hostile to secret recordings. A Monrovia courtroom let one in anyway earlier this year, in the Capitol arson case against former Speaker J. Fonati Koffa, and the Supreme Court declined to stop it. That precedent may now matter more than any statute when Jewel Howard-Taylor’s lawyers try to keep a wiretapped “gift” call out of evidence.

- Liberia is a small country with a long memory for how badly things can go wrong when institutions fail, and a short one, historically, for holding anyone accountable when they do. This summer tested both. What started as a routine-sounding customs seizure at Roberts International Airport in June has, by late August, become something else entirely: a sprawling investigation reaching a former Vice President, a network of European traffickers, and a growing list of Liberian officials whose own conduct — not just their diligence — is now part of the story.
