7. I would say 100% *IF* it were to go to trial

The indictment doesn't even cite any US laws Maduro allegedly violated. "Narco-terrorism" is not a crime. It is just a slogan that has no real meaning. And the drug activities noted in the indictment were all related to Columbia, not Venezuela.

They have no intention of taking this to trial. They expect to agree to live comfortably on an island somewhere.
