case against Maduro.

And people like this person who say that they know what's in that case file are quite confident there's a lot there, but...

Love to see it.

Yeah, I can't speak to the ins and outs of the case.

I haven't read the whole case yet, what's been submitted to the courts, but I would tell you that the argument politically has been exactly that, that the United States has suffered as a result of what Maduro has done, and they're drawing parallels to Noriega, the Panamanian president who was also extradited to the United States and died here in jail.

Oh, the DOJ was with the military and executed the arrest?

Well, I think that the administration has been seeking to create a legal framework by having DOJ folks on the mission, reading him his rights, bringing him to a courthouse immediately after his seizure in Venezuela.

That's what they said.

I didn't see that, though, but that's what they said.

It's been mixed.

A lot of countries, even in Latin America, there was it's actually really interesting.

In Latin America, there was a meeting of South American leaders the day after the operation.

And Latin America has a long history of concern about U.S.

military intervention dating back many decades.

You could go on and on.

I mean, there's the U.S.

occupied Nicaragua for a period of time.

You know, I mean, there's there's a long history of U.S.

military activity in Latin America.

And so this meeting happens and there was some expectation they might come to a consensus, but there was no consensus on whether to condemn the operation.
