"Venezuelan leader may have launched Rubio assassination plot"

Forget North Korea boys, I think Venezuela's about to become the next big hot-topic for Trump to distract people with.

Politico said:
As Marco Rubio helped ratchet up U.S. pressure on Venezuela, a top politician believed to control that country's security forces began actively discussing a plot to kill the Florida senator last month and may have wanted to use Mexican nationals for the assassination plot, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo sent to state and local law enforcement.

The alleged threats from the Venezuelan politician, Diosdado Cabello Rondon, were not specific and weren't corroborated by enough sources to merit a detailed explanation, according to the memo, but the situation was worrying enough to prompt Capitol Police and law enforcement in Miami-Dade County to provide security for Rubio.

The Miami Herald first reported details of the memo Sunday.

Despite the potential threat, Rubio has continued to speak out against Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro, has pushed for more sanctions and even engaged in a brief Twitter exchange with Cabello Rondon last week when the senator accused the Venezuelan official of involvement in drug trafficking, which Cabello Rondon has denied.

"In some unspecified manner, CABELLO RONDON's problems involved U.S. Senator Marco Rubio," said the memo, obtained by POLITICO, which is not releasing information that could endanger Rubio, his family or confidential law enforcement methods or sources.

The memo said that Cabello Rondon may even have discussed raising the money to kill Rubio or deal with the "problems" facing Venezuela's ruling regime.

"CABELLO RONDON did indeed issue an order ... to have Senator Rubio assassinated," the memo said. "Additionally, CABELLO RONDON was communicating with unspecified Mexican nationals in furtherance of the matter."

What were they going to do, unplug him at night?



This shit is crazy, hope Venezuela can be free of this insanity one day.
 
2 wars and a civil war, trumps gonna be on a fucking role at this rate. As for the story, wow that's fucking insane. Can't believe I'm saying Marco of all people actually acted so strong against someone that this was even a possible scenario.
 
Nows not a good time Venezuela. We have our own increasingly tyranical leader to deal with. We'll come back to help you out if you want and need it, but we need some time to get us sorted first.
 
I really doubt it. It's like "Chavez was killed by CIA". It's a very big risk to come for a very unpredictable outcome, most likely counter-productive. Can you imagine if Rubio were to be killed by Venezuela secret police ? What would this achieve.
 
No, you fucking morons, don't make Rubio more popular, for fuck's sakes.

Ah, I hope this turns out to be false. I actually can't believe Maduro would attempt to murder a foreign politician, he's dumb, but I can't believe he's this dumb. And certainly wouldn't want Rubio to be killed, as much as I dislike him.

If Trump tweets a war declaration against North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Chicago, the transgender community, legal immigrants and all fake news mainstream journalists while unleashing Nazi unrest upon the rest of America all at the same time as he signs an arrest warrant for Hillary and fires Mueller before jetting off to a Trump property to play golf for the weekend ... will we finally, at long last, stop talking about his many illegal ties to Russian oligarchs?
 
I honestly didn't believe the title at first.

Before reading the story, I thought 'yeah Rubio is unlikable douche that needs to be tossed from the senate, but not that big of a douche to be assassinated.'
 
Marco Rubio please go into hiding and never come back.

Also, Jesus Christ this past week has turned into the fascist olympics.
