#RandPaul∶ What if a country indicts our president for violating a foreign law, should we extradite him or be okay if they get him by force?
#MarcoRubio∶ We're always going to act in our national interest
Paul∶ What I'm saying is our arguments are empty. It's a ruse. We do what we do because we have the force.

Looking into this I find myself shocked to be citing Fox Business, but they were interviewing a Republican who seriously gave the unvarnished & corrupt truth about the situation∶
Rep Thomas #Massie (R-KY) on Tuesday criticized the Trump admin for how it is using the #oil seized from #Venezuela earlier this month, saying #Trump cannot sell the oil for "his own piggy bank."

#Massie said the oil was "stolen" & that #Trump cannot "legally create a second #Treasury overseas for his own piggy bank."
"Selling stolen #oil & putting billions of dollars in a bank in #Qatar to be spent without Congressional approval is not Constitutional," Massie wrote on X. "Only #Congress can appropriate money."

More from #MarcoRubio #Senate hearing on #Venezuela, when #RandPaul is the sane person in the conversation …
PAUL: If a country bombed our air defense missiles, captured & removed our president, & blockaded our country, would that be considered an act of war?
RUBIO: We just don't believe this operation comes anywhere close to the constitutional definition
PAUL: Of course it would be an act of war!

Sen. #JeanneShaheen (D-NH)∶ It's been reported that the #oil sold for $500 million & $300 million went to the Venezuelan government. What happened to the other $200 million?
#MarcoRubio∶ It's still sitting in the account is my understanding.
Shaheen∶ The account in #Qatar?
Rubio∶ Yes.
