And then I think you’ll see once you read that it’s pretty clear that what Bondi and the Department of Justice are going after Maduro for is not the mere possession of a machine gun. It’s the possession of a machine gun intending to and actually furthering a federal felony in the form of either narco-terrorism or cocaine importation into the United States. They’re using a gun essentially to rob a bank and that is not protected in respect under the Second Amendment and thus I would not lose any sleep about this. [Watch]
I’m chewing on this one. The criminal act is one thing. Possession is another and I see potential for losing all kinds of sleep, depending on what the associated “crime” is.
In any case, carrying this out in Manhattan under a Clinton judge with a grand jury drawn from an electorate that voted for Mamdani makes me wonder if this whole mess is going to blow up in Bondi’s and Trump’s faces, and what effect that will have on the midterms.

I don’t like it. The problem should be the real crime. Whether the accused is accused of using a fist, a foot, knife, Glock 17, or full auto M4 shouldn’t make any difference. Charge the accused with the real crime.
And I didn’t hear any evidence that Maduro himself used a “machine gun” in this “narco terror” Bush Jr/Iraq WMD level farce. Which poses countless more problems on every front here.
