    “You would have to prove those drug traffickers were threatening the sovereignty of the United States,” Breau added. “The United States is going to argue vigorously that drug trafficking is a scourge and it’s killing many people, and I agree. But a lot of international law experts have been looking at this and there wasn’t even clear evidence that those drug traffickers were from Venezuela, let alone that they were governed by Maduro in any sense.”

      It would be interesting if their incompetent MAGA prosecutors fail to convict Maduro in whatever kangaroo court they drag him through.

        I honestly don’t see how he can be convicted. Imperfect as they are, the courts have so far been the most resistant to magafication. I don’t know where he would find a kangaroo court on that level.

          I just don’t know enough of the legal process a prosecution like this would take so I have no idea what they can concoct. :D
