      It’s a lot harder to push these delusional MAGA fantasy land arguments in court where you’re required to show proof of your claims.

      Makes you wonder how much of this shit is just a hyped-up fascist masturbation fantasy.

      At this point they’ve gotta admit that they kidnapped him because he mocked Trump’s dancing.

      It was widely known that the name Cartel de Los Soles was a local Venezuelan reference to drug trafficking by high ranking Venezuelan military officers (as suns were used in military uniforms) but that there was no evidence that it was ever a single, centralized organization, just a reference to the general drug related corruption in the Venezuelan state.

      Heck, its on the literal first paragraph of its Wikipedia article:

      >Experts studying the drug trade do not use the term to refer to a single hierarchical organization or a literal drug cartel,[10][11][12] but as journalistic shorthand for a system of corruption by which military and political officials profit by working with drug traffickers.[5][13][14][1]

      Having said that, its widely known that Maduro was allied with the ELN:

      A Colombian once Marxist guerrilla turned terrorist group and drug cartel:

      I have no idea whether or to which degree Maduro was involved with drug trafficking but it is hardly difficult to believe that a dictator involved in just about every other crime, who’s actively allied with a drug trafficking organization from the largest producer of cocaine in the world, who had two of his nephews arrested for drug trafficking:

      Would have wanted at least some piece of that pie.

      Yeah, now that we’re going after the oil we’re dropping all the pretenses it was about drugs.

      The Trump regimes incompetence is the only thing that gives me any hope this may one day be over. They’re all idiots. Certified morons.

      Next, Maduro will cut a deal for release and claim primary involvement in rigging the 2020 election for Biden.

      It would be entirely on brand for this administration if their ineptitude actually lets Maduro walk free at the end of the day. While I have major problems with what could come next in Venezuela, I have never taken issue with removing Maduro from power and having him facing consequences. Would not surprise me if we don’t even get that.

      You eliminate the target don’t bring then to court. Because now you need evidence.

      WMDs might work for prosecution /s

    15. TheGOPisTheDeepState on

      It is not, the Republican Party is lying and committing crimes per usual.

    16. lilbitze on

      Wonder what they are gonna do when he gets off because of their incompetence and he makes that Venezuela’s problem.

      Although I highly doubt it will happen but imagine the level of embarrassment if the US government lost this case. 

      It would be like the allies losing the Nuremberg trials after insisting upon them. The international level of embarrassment is unfathomable. 

    18. Guy_GuyGuy on

      This administration is so fucking stupid. Weapons-grade stupidity.

      There’s no shortage of feasible charges you could actually bring against a violent dictator like Maduro, but they chose to pursue whatever the fuck Trump made up.

      Rename the Justice Department to the Jokes Department since that’s all it is.

    21. EuphoricCrashOut on

      Justice Dept – Lies.
      Justice Dept – Did they take the bait? No? *tries next lie

    22. joausj on

      I still dont understand how the machine gun charge applies? Like are all foreign heads of state in violation of US firearms laws?

    25. Distinct_Cup_1598 on

      Yeah, because now that they have Venezuelas oil, they don’t Need to pretend for a pretext anymore.
      Which shows again the Grave injustice that happened to Garcia, who was accused of being a member of this apparently nonexistent group

    27. BoozeAndTheBlues on

      So “Cartel de los Soles” Is now you say “Antifa” in Spanish?
