WTF?

#Venezuela #oil proceeds are going into a private account in #Qatar that #US #Treasury cannot block. This can’t be legal.

Marco Rubio: "The oil proceeds are being deposited into an account that ultimately will become a US Treasury blocked account here in the US. We will say 'this is what this money can be spent on.' They will submit to us a budget request -- 'we want to use the money on these things.!'"

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.

#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.

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!

#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."

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."
