The United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and flew him out of the country in an extraordinary nighttime operation that was accompanied by a flurry of strikes following months of escalating Trump administration pressure on the oil-rich South American nation.
The U.S. is now deciding next steps for Venezuela, President Donald Trump said Saturday on Fox News, adding, “We’ll be involved in it very much.”
Second paragraph, above: Yet another war/intervention for oil.
Invading another country and abducting its leader, even with the fig-leaf of a federal indictment is kidnapping. Imagine another country grapping Trump and putting him on trial-- I doubt if we'd sit still for that. But, as the old saying goes, Providence is usually on the side of the country with the biggest battalions.
Anyway, looks like the Demented Criminal's campaign for a Nobel is officially over.
It's funny that Trump and Bondi argue that Maduro's being indicted as a justification. Because Trump, himself, was indicted and convicted of 34 felonies. But hell, sell-reflection and irony are not things in this maladministration.
It's also funny that Trump pardoned former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández for pretty much the same charges he's slobbering about prosecuting Maduro.

Could we just trade straight across? Maduro's a prick but he can be negotiated with, and Fergus would be better suited to heading a country used to dictatorships.

Really simple, felon47 can't get his cut of the illegal drugs, but oil, he can.
Its the old; "You do business here, I get a cut of the action".
Eck!
As another commentator suggested, plead guilty and buy a pardon.
Knowing the sterling competence of the current DoJ, I wouldn't be surprised to see Maduro exonerated. Then what?
Yeah, note they’re not trying him in EDVA with Trumps Stellar Insurance Lawyer.
