U.S. brings drug trafficking charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and several others, accusing them of trying ‘to flood the United States with cocaine,’ and offered a reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Maduro

WASHINGTON - The U.S. government on Thursday indicted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and other top Venezuelan officials on charges of “narco-terrorism,” the latest escalation of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign against the socialist leader.

The State Department offered a reward of up to $15 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Maduro, who has been in power since 2013. “While the Venezuelan people suffer, this cabal...lines their pockets,” Barr said of Maduro and the more than a dozen others who were indicted. They include Venezuela’s defense minister and the chief justice of the country’s supreme court.

If I get the $15 million, I will give $14,960,000 back to them, or, $14,962,500, since, I can make a million with the difference, and the 15 million back after that, in 2 years, or more. And I don't even have to deal with illegal drugs for that.

theyre salty cause their juan guaido CIA puppet was rejected by the venezuelan people lol

Comedy. Maduro is horrible, but the US isn’t even being surreptitious about this.

Bullshit

Take over Oil to pay for StimulusPackage ? I bet in a few months/years USA will invade Venezuela and take over oil and put in a puppet government.

USA vs VENEZUELA: PROPAGANDA- The Venezuelan-Colombian border is constantly under attack by the Colombian (Los Rastrojos) narcotraffi-mafia, by the Colombia-USA paramilitary (CIA) units, & by airplanes transporting cocaine. HELLO!

Raquel21dias Its not the US government, its the US judicial system that works independently from the executive branch. This means that this will carry on even without trump.

It's a wonder other countries haven't banded together and do the same to Trump for the uprising of racial violence and domestic terrorism.

Holaquetalto2 It will be necessary more than 20 people to capture him and then 15M is not enough

Disgusting and shameful from my government. We are the terrorists. This designation is to allow military force but it wont make it any more legal under international law. We need to hold the Trump administration accountable for their war crimes. Pompeo belongs in prison.

Illegitimate use of specious laws. Any moron can get an indictment... No one is in the room to defend

Lol. What else is new. Political theater to save face for the American Empire.

Then, everything is about: Gold Oil Diamonds/drugs

Maduro is not Venezuelan President stop saying that he does not represent Venezuela is a terrorist!

Paola_Dec1231 He is in Venezuela. I will take cash, thanks.

Bolivia = thrilled by these news! Hoping evoespueblo is next

Wow, an American using metric units and correctly pronouncing 'route'! Better test him for coronavirus.

Nation Building ala Barr/Trump

Meanwhile, North Korean dictator who killed thousands of its people is a friend of the US. Nuclear weapons are luxury when you have them.

FFS another attempt to destroy a democracy that dares disagree with the High Priests of US Neoliberal Colonialism.

Is this the right way to distract people attention, ?, or is it the right time to be attacking other nations? Is the Administration planning to Start a war Definitely they are out of there freaking mind. LEAVE THE WORLD ALONE

Now do Big Pharma.

Can the world believe this ?remembering of what was accused of SaddamHussein. IraqWars

Fart members ? DkMedier

You dropped all charges on Russians that rigged our election, but claimed charges against Venezuelan president. It will never be well with evil doers.

Right now, try to use this $15 Million to help the Med professional first. Your time and energy trying to put for own people. Stop thinking about harming others.

hey iamjohnoliver your buddy is in trouble

they must use that money to buy protective clothing for their medics COVID19

Seems like the DOJ just put out a hit on another countries president under the guise of 15 mil reward.

Another huge con by the cover up general. Anything to get that oil.

As we talk your neighbor is likely doing cocaine imported into the US by the CIA to fund clandestine operations. Now that fracking is not profitable with current prices renewed interest in Venezuelan coup rises.

'As soon as we find someone who wants to go outside right now they're as good as done!' ThatllShowEm

It’s too bad the trump admin has lost credibility. Who knows what to believe.🤦‍♂️

2 things. 1) Yalls buddy putin has helped keep this guy in power skirting sanctions. 2) Who believe tRUMPS DOJ will payout ANYTHING?

We wish. We don't have an in, like a USA government. Chump charge.

So the big pharmaceutical opioid addictions are clear? The 1980’s called they want their relativity back. 🙄

Using the current crisis as another excuse to try and coup Venezuela again

Clean up the shit in your White House first.

🤷🏽‍♂️😂

We all know how much Americans love their drugs. Not anyone’s fault. Junkies

Interesting how Barr wouldn't announce this before or after a pandemic... He wants Trump to look special to his MAGA cult.

For Álvaro Uribe Vélez?

HunterJCullen Isn't Barr part of this whole Epstein, oil, Guilliani mess?

😂

Thanks God finally justice for our beautiful country venezuelaFREE

If we ever get our hands on those guys, they're FARCed. (Somebody had to do it.)

The irony is that most of our government officials should be on trial, too.

My name is Pitt and you are not going to WAG THE DOG your way out of this shit!

TheNumba1Guy time to get to work🤣 I think Diamond Dogs would be an appropriate PMC to start up about now, use an off shore 'oil platform' in the Gulf to operate out of God I love America 🇺🇸MilitairesSansFrontièresEnglish WhosBigBoss? Look out for Peace, shell blow up on ya😱

lol that’s the CIA job so they mad

Remember what happened to Noriega?

🧐🤨

🐿 Certainly one way to give Juan Guaido cash 🐿

Why aren’t the visual aids for this presentation better? These mfs not even trying 😂

What difference does this make?🤔

What a fucking joke lmao

The U.S is the world's cancer!

Holy Sh**!

oooooh cocaine so yummy

Traitor AGBarr is 'on it'. Is THIS Barr delivering Control of Venezuela to Russia? Quid Pro Quo OIL is the root of The Evil.

What a convenient accusation

Lol,

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 anything to waste our tax dollars and distract us from the Trump Holocaust

Frogerta Wtf!.....there's a pandemic activity killing people....but hey let's distract the population....

It's a good thing I can't easily find a Twitter account for Barr. I'd have told him where to take his propaganda and shove it. America is propagandized more than any other country on the planet.

Ok he's in Caracas in Miraflores where's my reward

The Corrupt Trump Amdinistration at it again

😂😂😂🤦‍♀️🤦‍♂️

Pushing ? What about US pulling ?

I have information which can help apprehend him... he will probably be at: Av. Nte. 10, Caracas 1012, Distrito Capital, Venezuela ...during regular business hours when there are no big national/ceremonial actions occurring. Can I get my reward now?

why will you offer reward for information leading to the arrest? LOL i mean you already announced it. Wtf?

Can they indict themselves for flooding black neighborhoods with crack and heroin?

'Accuse your opponent of that which you are most guilty'

Just Case part 2, Venezuelan boogaloo

👏👏👏👏

And trump is trying to flood America with covid-19.

Watch this guy the Republicans put in office as A.G., Barr isn't to be trusted and he has shown us in the past. Mueller report and etc.

Reminder: the US-backed government of Honduras is an actual narco-state. The DEA named the right-wing president (fraudulently elected in 2017) in a case. US prosecutors also charged him with funneling money from cocaine trafficking into his campaigns.

You should also investigate the Colombian government.

The CIA has run the cocaine trade starting in the 80s. I guess they’re afraid of competition?

Dammit Venezuela give the US companies their oil back

U.S. wants Venezuela's oil. Doubt there is anything else to it.

🗑️

They tried everything else and failed, now this Hoax which is turning out to be a Witch Hunt. AG Barr your attention and worry should be the person that hired you, you seemed compromised and powerless rather dictated too. It's called State Capture.

What’s Elton John doing there?

HunterJCullen Bill Barr needs to be locked up and thrown in a cage forever. Despicable slob of a human.

Take his information with the grain of salt. The world shouldn't trust US intelligence. That'll do whatever it takes to get to Venezuelan Oil.

Drug trafficking is an equal n opposite reaction to original sin-survival a la Darwin-destruction cannot be one sided

You don't look well Barr. Go lie down somewhere, on a busy highway.

Hahaha, love to see cocaine as a cure for the virus.

gopcowards

Traficante reunion coming to a prison near you.

What a bunch of donkeys in the White House

Distraction! Priority, truth doesn’t matters! Covid19 will teach YOU!

Manuel Noriega just rolled over in his grave.

He is in Venezuela, that is some vital information right there. Now if you catch him i want my $15m...

Maduro has great role models-Britain flooded China wid opium,US floods nations wid dangerous weapons of mass destruction-doom begets doom

Where else are we gonna get our blow from if they shut Maduro’s operation down?

The real reason is that they don't have nuclear weapons. Why don't you arrest the North Korean leader?

Huge story here....we should invade them. They have oil...perfect.

venezuela-bolivarian-republic

Serious This is our top priority right now? Our government is so damn goofy man I swear.

Trump way is to Soleimani him

No para el terrorismo de EEUU.

U.S is the buyer isn't it? Deal with your people who brings it in.

After all the sanctions, Trump is desperate act because Guaido is stuck as president of la-la-land.

The United States government embodies evil and hypocrisy

Amerikkka as if this is high priority TheJusticeDept

Algunos han de celebrar esto. Y ahora todo puede pasar. Como con Noriega. Maduro la tiene jodida Va a terminar el resto de sus días inevitablemente en la cárcel. Por cualquier razón.

This can only mean one thing. FcukFace 45 is runnin' drugs.

Noriega 2.0. The other retread is 'China virus.' In the runup to Iraq invasion WMDs were all we heard about. By 'finding' that coronavirus was a China launched WMD attack 45 has his excuse for war which he prob thinks is his only chance to survive at this point.

Barr, Pompeo, Trump and McConnell all belong in Prison

shock doctrine in action once again. perfect time for strike and let our oil companies grab their wealth while the price of oil is at rock bottom.

Yeah, they were probably on their way to drop off a load to trump. Mr. SNIFFLES 🤧🙄

The president’s fixer 😒

This is stupid

The NeoCons working for Trump are laying the groundwork for regime change in Venezuela.

what an absolute fucking joke.

IS THIS YOUR TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW?

They’re sitting back drinking ice water in a burning house.

Let him send as much cocaine as he can, as fast as he can. We're gonna need it.

Distraction

and here we go
