What is really dark about what happened to Maduro and his wife and nobody is talking about

Nobody seems to be talking about why his wife was kidnapped too. And if you think it through it gets really dark and messed up. It is pretty clear the only reason to take her too was so that the Venezuelan people would not have her as a symbol to rally around to resist American colonialism. They took her because it would be politically inconvenient for them.

So she will likely be convicted on bogus charges and rot in an American prison all because she was inconvenient to the Trump regime.

Wrong.

She was taken because there is an indictment against her for drug trafficing too. She will also be tried and, most likely, sent to prison.

@justbob They will both go to prison. That is how political show trials work.

Look at the indictment. It is a political speech not a legal document.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow if this were a real trial, first the court would make sure the charges are actual crimes.and that the prosecution has evidence that those crimes were committed. Then the court would debate whether it has jurisdiction over this case. I would expect this process to be slow, and that the SCOTUS may be involved with the jurisdiction question. If this gets to trial, they will debate whether to try both together or separately and whether they have a right to a jury. If it actually gets to a jury trial, the debate over jurors begins, and there is a high likelihood of a hung jury.

He won’t be convicted. The goal here is to tie them up in the legal process long enough for Venezuela to form an opposition government. When that happens and when the court directs them to, the Trump administration extradites him back to Venezuela to face charges there. Or this extends to the term of the next president, and if a Democrat, he gets released immediately.

And she is all bruised up for some reason…

@trollslayer Yeah. That is really uncomfortable to think about.

…it’s the same “reasoning” that surviving fishermen in the water clinging to the wreckage of their boat were executed with a second illegal strike rather than rescued and given aid as was the legal duty per international, maritime, and domestic laws.

The real criminal is now bragging he will run Venezuela through Rubio his mobster proxy…
