Pam Bondi: the most corrupt Attorney General of the USA ever_?

[Silly Green Monkey]

What's the evidence against Cillia, or is she prosecuted for being married?

I've wondered about that as well. But then she's his property, isn't she, so she rightfully belongs to Gilead the US now, right?

It's either that, or oil by association.

It's either that, or oil by association.

The indictment lists several people including Cilia as co-conspirators, so it's by association. The only evidence specifically alleged against Cilia is that she attended a meeting where others allegedly made corrupt deals. The rest is literally just "she was married to Maduro."

I'm still puzzling over why a sitting foreign head of state is subject to criminal liability in United States courts, while a sitting or former United States head of state is not.

If you ever feel you know the answer to that one, please let me know, because i am completely confused...

You are assuming that the rule of law still applies in the USA. Clearly it no longer does.

Because he was not the 'legitimate' head of state*; so he has no 'legitimate' immunity.

*It is not worth going into whether a head of state has to be elected, and if so receive a majority of the popular vote to be a legitimate 'head of state..

I assume that the hope is to coerce her into providing evidence against her husband. There will be plea deals, done with trump appointed prosecutors approved by Trump appointed judges. I wonder if they will get more than public defenders to represent them given they will have no accessible assets in the US.
