Jack Smith is testifying today, closed door.
Jack Smith, the former DOJ special counsel, claimed in closed-door congressional testimony on Wednesday that investigators had proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” that President#Donald Trump#“criminally” conspired to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
“I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 election,” Smith said in his opening statement, which was obtained in advance#by the Associated Press. “We took actions based on what the facts and the law required — the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.
Smith added that his probe had “developed powerful evidence that showed President Trump willfully retained highly classified documents after he left office in January 2021, storing them at his social club, including in a bathroom and a ballroom where events and gatherings took place.”

Figured this had to be AI at first. Apparently, not.

I suspect this is what Trump is getting at. And if foreign oil companies paid for those right originally and then were tossed out with no compensation when nationalization occurred that is almost certainly what he is referring to.

There is some truth to this. Many of the US refineries on the Gulf Coast are geared to accept heavy oil as feedstock. The only two countries that supply this are Canada and Venezuela. Bringing Venezuelan oil back online could reduce demand for Canadian oil.

'Do we have to write something new for these plaques?'

Taxpayer dollars went into creating those plaques. Nobody cares, of course.

Sorry, should have been more clear. This is just my own non-expert speculation.

Maybe plan B is invading Canada for oil. I wouldn't put it past him at this point.

The whole fentanyl/drug running narrative was done so that America could designate the Venezuelan government a terrorist entity, to allow them to do what they're doing now unilaterally and give cover if any countries speak up.
I wonder when the other nations in the west who speak so strongly in support of sovereign nations and condemn aggression will come out and comment on what the US is doing and remind the world of the values they stand for.

Over social media this year Trump likened himself to Napoleon. Maybe his plan is to attempt to take over all of North America and part of South America while his buddy Putin attempts to grab all of Europe while Xi takes Tawain and other parts of Asia.
