Trump is facing renewed calls for impeachment over his unprecedented attack on Venezuela and failure to notify Congress in advance, but while aboard Air Force One Sunday night he made a startling admission about which group he did inform ahead of the operation.
Trump admitted that he had told oil companies of the operation in advance, and championed them for wanting to go in to Venezuela and do a great job with securing Venezuelas oil reserves, the single-largest proven oil reserves on earth.
With Trump having not only not informed Congress of the attack beforehand, including the Gang of Eight congressional leaders who are traditionally told of such operations, critics, such as Democratic congressional candidate Fred Wellman, were left floored by the admission.
I cant begin to tell you how insane this is, Wellman, who also hosts the On Democracy podcast, wrote Sunday night in a social media post on X to his more than 356,000 followers.

(21,797 posts)I'm old fashioned, I guess. I see it as anything that would be illegal for Obama or Biden to do would also be illegal for Trump. But thanks to John Roberts and invertebrate Republicans, we know that's not true.

oil companies. Time for countries from around the world to pull their Ambassadors from America,
stop trade, and start selling off their U.S. Treasures. Trump and company are committing war crimes.
