Here is the Maduro indictment.
The United States — lead by President Donald Trump — believes that the Venezuelan president is a corrupt and illegitimate president, who has leveraged government power to protect and promote illegal activity, to enrich himself and his family and concentrate power in his own hands and the hand of his family.
Let me repeat that: A country lead by Donald Trump wants to lock up a president who is corrupt and abuses his power to enrich himself and his own.
Priceless.
@randahl
My father used to quote this saying frequently: "If two do the identical, it is not the same!"
It matches #Benavides quote: "For my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law."
Right at the heart of #Trumpism .
@randahl So his defence will be "Back at you, Trumpy boy. Child rapist."
@randahl in fact, it's a trial for copyright infringement, right?
@randahl sounds kinda familiar. BABA (BUY ANYTHING BUT AMERICAN)
@randahl The emperor has no clothes, but no one — absolutely no one — will tell him.
@randahl
None of that makes any sense as points of prosecution in a US court for a non-US president.
For prosecuting Trump himself, they all make sense in a US court.
For prosecuting Maduro they only make sense in a Venezuelan court.
@randahl maybe one day they can just do a search and replace on the names in filing new charges.
@randahl Jealousy literally speaks volumes for a motive. He doesn’t value the midterms too much.
@randahl I love the US.
I'm moving to the north pole, because that's the only place trump doesn't want.
@randahl yet more baffling to me is using words, " — believes that the" rather than making a statement as a fact! Indictments are about facts being true or false. Or, I believe so.
@randahl Hypocrisy is always a vulgar display of power for fascists. They are "strong enough" to defy the rules of "weaker" folk.
We're horrified but his supporters actively love it when he's a liar and a cheat.
@randahl And our government just responds with "it's complicated".
No, it's not. Crime is crime.
@randahl hello kettle, I'm pot. You're black.
@randahl well if Trump has immunity under US law for his multiple crimes, maybe it falls to neigbouring nations to capture him and place him in front of one of their own courts? Nuremberg might be a good place. Or the Hague.
Now the USA has established the principle of making a president legally responsible for his actions to others beyond the country it should be easily applied to Trump.
A coalition of the willing?
@randahl please don't call Maduro president, because he falsified elections many times. He is "the guy who named himself president", just as Putin or Lukashenko.
Imagine that it's possible. Because it's true and it's possible it every country now. For the people of the mafia-captured country, there is no other option left, except foreign invasion for help.
@randahl Soo, if Denmark were to kidnap Trump, that would be ok. By this standard.
@randahl
The parallels with a gang war mafia boss take-over are frightening.
Unbelievable!
I’m all in favor of dutch marines doing a specop to Mar a Lago to take the orange menace to the International Court in The Hague… 😬
@randahl trump doesn't like competition.
@randahl Every acquisition is a confession.
Everything they say in the White House is projection.
@randahl I'm 100% sure that most of the European leaders will see the hypocrisy & absurdity in this and act & take actions accordingly, right?. Or being hypocritical themselves in the name of getting scraps of the oil pie is far far more profitable in the long run. Must be a very hard choice to make.
@randahl macht Trump nicht das gleiche? Missbraucht er nicht sein Amt, um sich selbst zu bereichern?
@randahl Maybe the biggest ever example of hypocrisy. Trump is absent any self critical faculties it seems. Or self awareness. Or empathy in any form.
@randahl I had to read this twice to make sure it was an official indictment. Seems like some kid wrote out a bunch of paras of text. Is this even a valid legal document?
@randahl ,Can you compare how people live in his country and in Venezuela?! He's doing the right thing!
@randahl
»A country lead by Donald Trump wants to lock up a president who is corrupt and abuses his power to enrich himself and his own.«
My statement: 
@randahl I can assure you, it definitely has a price.
@randahl I wish we had the special forces that would be able to extract Donald Trump and put him on trial at the Hague.
@UlrikNyman he does fly to Europe from time to time. 🤷🏻♂️
@randahl perhaps the author wanted to be able to re-use it with minimal changes for an obvious future defendant.
@randahl What! seems like the pot calling the kettle black
so once again deflection and projection
@randahl Irony is dead.
That’s typically how ‘crime bosses’ behave. Just watch The Godfather.
