This is a BFD - watch this story. If any other country were to steal the assets of another country, move the money into a Qatari bank account and claim to have disbursed them with no audit controls we would see IMF and potentially ICC involvement. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/11/us/venezuela-oil-money-democrats-congress.html

MAYBE the Trump administration has a legally defensible basis for doing what they have done. But it is striking that they have not yet even attempted to do so, and that Rubio and Bessent cannot get their stories straight. Watch this space.

This absolutely reminds me of the Iran Contra shenanigans.
Ollie North must be so pissed this administration is getting away with this so brazenly _and_ for such obviously criminal ends.

@SeanCasten How is Trump personally receiving from Qatar for depositing the Venezuelan oil money there? That is what needs to be asked, and answered.
