WASHINGTON - The U.S. government is expected to bring criminal charges against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and several other Venezuelan officials on Thursday, accusing them of involvement in drug trafficking, a person familiar with the matter said. The Justice Department is expected to unseal the charges against Maduro, a socialist leader who already faces U.S. sanctions and has been the target of a U.S. pressure campaign aimed at pushing him from power.

USA vs VENEZUELA: PROPAGANDA-Venezuelans (Nicolas Maduro) are accusing the Colombian-USA from border narcotraffic (Los Rastrojos) mafia infiltration to USA-Colombian training (CIA) operations in order to sabotage Venezuelan peace, infrastructure & the rule of law.

Save Venezuela jeez this poor country

Panama 2.0

Finally the catch the big DOG

Trump's lies are not working, so here come the Shiny Objects. Barr is such a lapdog--does he know how dumb this looks right now? Expect lots of Shiny Objects while Trump bungles the pandemic. Bet Trump brags about this at the virus 'briefing,' as he has nothing of value to say.

This is being ordered because Trump needs to look like he is 'working' but he isn't. It's definitely designed to mask those unemployment numbers today. It is for his CULT members. Next!

Lol..trying the ol Panama..except it aint

fuckmaduro

Too funny. We only have to look at our own U.S. agencies to find drug traffickers within.

The world invites Washington to hand us the real evidence: NOT THE PLANTED ONES! And also, WHY NOW, in the midst of the coronavirus pandemonium. What's behind this? What's the hurry? Why not wait till things settle down and people get back to their everyday business?(2/2)

Do they have proof of this? Also why not charge Putin for election interference? Are they picking what they want?

This is just another ridiculous accusation against Caracas. Look, I'm certainly not an admirer of NM. And I also think that at least he could have stepped back and someone else take charge of government. But to states that HE is running a NORIEGA style a drugs ring(1/2)

the pinky ring is a dead giveaway !!!!

He should be brought to justice.

What a load of bollocks as usual out of the USA. Why not try a Bush& Blair for war crimes? Almost guaranteed conviction based on what everyone already knows.

Maduro could very well be the next drone target by the USA .

after Sep 2001 Afghanistan is garden of bush soon ...flowers...

Reuters: Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro has been ignoring the drug trafficking in Venezuela for years. Maduro is either very stupid or a major player in the drug trafficking world. Either way, Maduro must step down or face criminal charges and forfeit his personal wealth... NOW!

Why don't just tighten legislation on drug dealers of their own country? Can you really catch him? And that really helps?

Wait what

Thanks USA for all the support to my country
