Trump Accidentally Gave Maduro a Way OUT

so-called deal with Delcy Rodriguez regarding the United States, 100-year exploitation of

“Venezuela in oil fields to the tune of 65 billion barrels of hypothetical oil reserves.”

Well, this is all blowing up in Donald Trump's face in profound ways of course it's blowing up in his face with the backlash he's getting from all Venezuelan people other than the Delcy Rodriguez regime, Delcy Rodriguez regime of course sees this as a way to further entrench her power since if she ever is not in power, then this so-called deal with the Trump regime is

going to go away. So it further solidifies her desire to never give up power in the Trump regime's

desire to never let her leave power, but it's also backfiring in a more profound way in terms of the legal maneuverings taking place because as I've suggested, Nicolas Maduro, who's still recognized today by the Rodriguez regime as the rightful leader of Venezuela despite the fact that

“the United States invaded Venezuela at the beginning of the year, kidnapped Maduro and put Maduro”

in a prison in Manhattan where he's currently standing trial. I always said Maduro's just going to say I get head of state immunity and he's going to file a motion to dismiss in order to dismiss the criminal case against him in federal court and that's precisely what he just did. Moments ago he filed a motion to dismiss for head of state immunity saying I'm the lawfully recognized head of state in Venezuela still the Delsea Rodriguez regime is my regime. She was my

vice president. She still recognizes me as the leader. I'm the leader of Venezuela. The Trump regime

just did a deal with my regime regarding oil in Venezuela 65 billion barrels. You can't be doing

deals with my regime, my VP, my lieutenant, my henchmen, my people and then still claim that I'm not the head of state and then I'm somehow illegitimate. That's and I'm somehow illegitimate. That's what he's arguing in this motion. The Trump regime is still recognizing the Maduro regime in power right now in Venezuela. Delsea Rodriguez was basically my vice president. Delsea Rodriguez was my number two. So the Trump regime can't be doing deals with my government granted. I'm not the

one in power and then arguing I'm not the legitimate leader. When the person they're doing a deal with Delsea says Nicholas Maduro is the legitimate leader of Venezuela. So I'm not sure if you've seen these photos that were leaked out of Nicholas Maduro recently from prison. He's wearing another outfit that he does these like stylish photoshoot. It's a bizarre thing to see. But he looks

happy as can be and I've always been saying it's because he's got the best case if there's ever such

thing as head of state immunity. He's got the best case for it because the argument if you were going to prosecute Maduro, the reported Democratic argument if you will, small D argument when you prosecute Maduro is actually it's Maria Machado and Machado's party that won the election in Venezuela. The opposition party should be in control right now. Thus the current regime is not an actually a lawful regime. Maduro's part of that unlawful regime. Thus he doesn't get head of state immunity

because they stole an election that the opposition party won and hence no head of state immunity. But if you just kidnapped the president and the president's vice president is the power and the vice

“president, Delsea says Maduro's actually the president and I'm still a placeholder. That's what Delsea”

saying right now. And then you do deals with this government with the shovis does and with all of these people. Well then what do you think is going to be the argument by Maduro? Maduro's going to say I'm still the head of state and this is the precisely the document that he filed. Here it is folks and here's the main line from it. Adam class fell to it does report him with legal iF. He quotes from it directly. No American court has ever presided over the criminal trial of a far and

leader who was recognized by their own country as the sitting head of state at the time the charges were brought at the time the charges were brought you and by the way still to this day Delsea and the regime say that they want Nicholas Maduro back to this day and so let's take a look at this filing right here and by the way you may be saying well what's the Trump regime? I think the

about it from the Trump regime's perspective. What does Donald Trump always do? Blame the judges,

unfair judges, liberal judges, democratic appoint a Clinton appoint a judge judge, hellu-steens, a Clinton appoint a judge and this is so unfair but he enables by doing this deal he enables Maduro

“to get out get off and claim immunity and then Trump can just blame the judge. That's what's going on”

behind the scenes right here. Let's take a look at the motion that Maduro just filed. President Nicholas Maduro has pled not guilty and vehemently denies the allegations against him. If this case were to proceed to trial it would be apparent that he has been falsely accused but Maduro is not permitted to test the evidence at this stage and the proceeding then it goes on to cite federal

case courts may not consider the efficiency of evidence on a pretrial motion to dismiss that's what

was filed by Maduro. This pretrial motion to dismiss. Rather this motion demonstrates that because the allegations fail as a matter of law the case must be dismissed. So you get the procedural posture right now. Maduro's filing a motion to dismiss. He's saying this is a pretrial matter. I'm not allowed to yet show all of the evidence that I can show at trial. Why this case should be dismissed but for purposes of this motion to dismiss the I have immunity. I have head of state

immunity. I don't even need to show what the evidence is going to be yet because I'm the leader of Venezuela. You're doing deals with the Rodriguez regime which is me. Those are my people right there. If you are going to argue that Machado was the one in power right now then you can make the argument I'm illegitimate but you just kidnap me. You can't do that and then keep my regime in power and then do oil deals to exploit the oil within my country. I want to bring this point out as well.

Could you and this let me be clear? This case is never going to trial. I want to be very clear.

Could you imagine what this imagine all the information Maduro knows about the CIA operations in Venezuela. How the United States has been involved or knowledgeable of the drug trade taking place.

“The Trump regime's corruption in Venezuela. Who do you think Maduro's witnesses would be?”

Who did it be Delsea? It would be the other enforcers over there. It would be all these people. And what do you think they're going to test about? Could you imagine what that trial would actually look like? And then the Trump regime is going to object to all of the witnesses that Maduro would necessarily need to call, which would also potentially result in this case being dismissed for the fact that the Trump regime is not going to allow Maduro to call the witnesses

Maduro needs to call. Let's keep reading this motion to dismiss. No American court has ever presided over the criminal trial of a farer leader who was recognized by their own country as the sitting head of state at the time the charges were brought. This is not an accident of history. It reflects a rule of old. It reflects a rule older than the

“common law. Heads of state are exempt from the criminal process of any national court but their own.”

The immunity flows not from goodwill that can be withdrawn on a whim, but from the perfect equality and absolute independence of sovereigns. Thus this court lacks jurisdiction with respect to Mr. Maduro, who is recognized by the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela as its head of state. Further, even if Mr. Maduro is not entitled to sovereign immunity as the head of state, this case against him nonetheless would need to be dismissed since he is also entitled to

conduct based sovereign immunity from the charges against him. The fourth superseeding indictment bases its charges on official acts. He took on behalf of the government of Venezuela in his capacities as a member of the national assembly for a minister vice president and president. The official character of these acts such as issuing diplomatic passports deploying the military and announcing Venezuela in foreign policy is apparent from the face of the indictment.

Because these actions were undertaken in his official capacity, on behalf of a foreign sovereign, he may not be required to respond in this court to the indictment's characterization of his motives and intended taking these actions. Just as this court has no jurisdiction to require a foreign government to justify its actions, this court equally lacks jurisdiction to require an official of that government to answer for his acts on behalf of that government. There was

no reason to depart from the foundational rule of sovereign immunity. This court cannot defer

either status or conduct base. Although the second circuit has held that the executive branch

is entitled to complete deference in immunity decisions that are consistent with common law. It has explicitly declined to hold nor has any other court held that courts must defer to the executive branch where its immunity determination would be in derogation of common law. Because this unprecedented prosecution violates the absolute immunity from criminal jurisdiction to which heads of state and foreign officials, acting in their official capacities,

have been entitled for hundreds of years, the executive branches of immunity determination is entitled to no deference. This court lacks jurisdiction based both on head of state and conduct based immunity. And accordingly, the case against Mr. Maduro must be dismissed. And again,

“here's the thing where you would normally give deference with that meant as giving”

deference to the executive branch would be deference in a case where the individual is not recognized as the sovereign by their country when the prosecution was brought. Usually what will happen in these cases is a government will be replaced with another government. There may be either an overt regime change that takes place or there's a democratic election, an authoritarian may be trying to stop the democratic process, a democratic election takes place.

And then the authoritarian says, I was entitled to all of this immunity as the head of state. I mean, you can go and look at numerous examples of authoritarian trying to claim that type of you know, that type of immunity. But then the are, but then in those cases, the argument is you're

“not the legitimate head of state. You behave diligently. Your behavior does not get the”

deference of head of state. What Maduro is saying is, look, the current government, I'm the head, you didn't bring in Machado. You're doing deals with my VP Delsie. You just didn't deal with her.

You did this fake oil deal where you say you're going to exploit 65 billion barrels of oil.

You did the deal with Alejandro Bentacor, who's the one of the bully jico's who we propped up. We propped up that guy and the deals ultimately with the state run, then is a well in oil entity as well that I run. And you can't just get at me and then keep my vice president in power. And so what's the Trump regime going to argue? Actually, the Delsie regime is the regime that's legitimate. But with Maduro in it, it's not legitimate. I mean,

“all of the things Delsie was viewed as somebody who was involved in the narco trafficking,”

all of the allegations that were made against Maduro were made against Delsie. And lots of people actually thought that that Maduro was more of a figurehead for people like Delsie in Cabano. And all these other people, all these other chavistas in the Maduro regime. And that Maduro was the dancing guy. He was the, you know, he was the goofy guy, you know, who came from the, you know, the working unions movement over there and gain popularity. But that there were the people behind the scenes

who were pulling the power levers with Maduro as kind of the figurehead. They're the ones running the country right now. And they just did an oil deal with the Pentagon. So let's just play this out, too. Let's play this out. And by the way, you, you know my analysis where I've just debunked this oil deal. There's a reason why private companies don't want to invest in it. Why the defense department is creating a Trump oil company to do the investment in Venezuela. Because private companies

view this as uninvestable. And the type of oil underneath Venezuela is very tarry and sour. It doesn't go into our strategic reserves. It'll take a decade to decades to actually extract this stuff. It's all part of Trump's market manipulation play. It's corrupt as hell. He has a Atari bank account where lots of this Venezuelan money is going. That has been made so far. Venezuela's

oil production is basically the same as the prior year. Even since the Trump regime has taken

it over, it's just diverted some money. I'm not even talking about the oil underneath and they were in the reserves. I'm just saying the badly oil production right now is the same as last year. But play this out. Let's say the case doesn't get dismissed based on this motion to dismiss for sovereign immunity head of state immunity. What happens next? This case goes to trial.

the money. My witnesses are delcine. My witnesses are, you know, other people in the regime.

And they're going to go up there and they say, yeah, he's the head of state. He's the head of

state. Well, when they go say, we worked with the C.I.M. this. He were in what what are you going to

“do? And, and so this case ain't going to trial. I believe at some point Donald Trump is either”

going to dismiss the charges or pardon him or do something. But this, you know, or this is all just

one big set up to give Maduro the best head of state immunity case possible for a motion to

“dismiss and then blame the judge. Oh, it's the judges fault. And while the judges follow in the law,”

I don't know. It's the most clear cut case of head of state immunity that there is. I'm not saying this to endorse Maduro in a way, but Trump's work with the current regime. Anyway, let me know
