Biden Frees Venezuela’s ‘Financial Brain’, Granting Narco-Socialists a Major Win
Breitbart ^ | 12/20/2023 | CHRISTIAN K. CARUZO

Posted on 12/20/2023 8:59:40 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

President Joe Biden greenlit the release of Colombian businessman Alex Saab, accused of acting as Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro’s top money launderer, on Wednesday.

Saab’s release is allegedly the result of a prisoner swap with the rogue socialist regime that will also allow for the release of unjustly detained Americans in Venezuela, the Associated Press reported.

Saab, 51, is a close personal ally of Maduro and is widely considered the socialist dictator’s financial brain. American law enforcement authorities arrested Saab in Cape Verde in 2020 after the Department of Justice indicted him in 2019 on charges of laundering $350 million from Venezuela’s state coffers through a bribery scheme that involved shady affordable housing construction contracts. Saab was on trial in America at the time of his announced release.

Because they are owned by the drug cartels. It’s obvious. Every policy is for the cartels.

Is Biden helping Maduro prepare for the invasion of Guyana?

“ Every policy is for the cartels.”

Well, every policy that isn’t for China is for the cartels anyway.

Biden’s corrupt handlers in the deep-state have WEAKENED America.

They started a proxy-war on Russia, which roused China and BRICS into action against the US Dollar, depleted America’s armory, bloated our debt, and opened fronts against the USA and its interests all around the world from Gaza, to the Red Sea, to Georgia, to Syria, to Niger to Venezuela.

The fools in DC are realizing this, and now they need to make nice with people like Maduro to avoid being swamped by the consequences of their stupidity

Is Maduro sending his army across our border so that when Venezuela invades Guyana, his men can cause chaos in our country? To send a message to biden not to interfere?

Maduro and his predecessor Chavez were Iran and Russia’s allies.

Iran, Turkey, and Venezuela’s Super Facilitator: Who Is Slex Saab?

On June 12, Alex Nain Saab Morán, a Colombian businessman of Lebanese descent, was arrested at Amílcar Cabral International airport in Cape Verde. This was a huge blow to the Maduro regime’s illicit networks, as Saab is a key facilitator, involved in alleged corrupt dealings and money laundering in Venezuela since 2004. His arrest was made after years of investigations on behalf of the U.S. and Colombia to uncover a myriad of shell companies that Saab; his business partner, Alvaro Pulido Vargas; and family members set up.....

News flash. We also have a narco-socialist government. The difference is, our narcos are named Pfizer and Moderna.

Probably not the army, but terrorist cells, maybe. Also, how many terrorists have already been sent across the non-border with the US?
