USian "traditional value" is to support any jumped up piece of crap, no matter how corrupt or brutal, as long as they pay lip service to being "good anti-communists". Supporting Rodriguez, while simultaneously threatening her with prosecution, if she doesn't toe the line, is perfectly consistent with long standing US policy. Ask former CIA asset Noriega.
It's called "Realpolitik". I told you guys this was how it was going to go - Delcy has 2 doors to pick from:
-Door #1 is she plays ball and gets to have a future in Venezuela. Maybe even with a fully lined pocket.
-Door #2 is that somebody yanks her out of bed one night, throws a black hood over her head and the next thing she knows she's in the jail cell across the hall from her old boss.
That was always going to be the plan.
