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.!'"

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."

Rep. Thomas Massie criticized President Donald Trump's handling of seized Venezuelan oil, arguing the president cannot legally sell it 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."
