To Understand Venezuela, You Have To Understand Panama

from Why, America? with Leeja Miller · host Leeja Miller

Did the Trump admin break international law when it attacked Venezuela and captured Nicolas Maduro? Yes. Does it matter? Not at all, according to a new memo from the Trump admin providing bogus legal justification written by T. Elliot Gaiser and inspired by none other than William Barr. We're discussing that history and the similarities Maduro's capture has with another strongman from Latin America: Manuel Noriega.
