Trump's DOJ Investigates Venezuela, Ignores Domestic Election Meddling
Federal investigators under the Trump administration reportedly pursued unfounded conspiracy theories about Venezuela stealing the 2020 election, according to The Guardian . This isn't just about 'unfounded claims'; it's about weaponizing a baseless narrative, reminiscent of the same administration's attempts to overturn election results by pressuring state officials or inspiring an insurrection
from within. The focus on a far-off, adversarial nation like Venezuela serves as convenient misdirection from domestic acts of political sabotage. One might wonder about the timing and priorities. While chasing fantastical Venezuelan plots, President Trump's own actions, like pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find' votes, or allegations of tampering with ballot counting
processes in various states, were actively unfolding. It appears foreign plots are only scandalous when they don't involve the very people doing the 'investigating.'
