A rather gloomy prediction on the prospects of a Maduro conviction, and one I tend to agree with

John Hinderaker, PowerLine

Where Will Maduro Be Tried?

…. Maduro was indicted several years ago in the Southern District of New York. I don’t know what rules govern venue in a case of this kind, nor do I know whether it is feasible to bring a new set of charges in a different jurisdiction.

But I would warn the administration that there is little chance of convicting Maduro in the Southern District of New York, i.e., New York City. Democratic Party jurors would vote to acquit Communism, mass murder, drug trafficking and starving children 100% of the time, simply to spite Donald Trump. Maybe DOJ could get a conviction in Miami, but in New York or, say, Washington D.C.? Highly unlikely, with the Democratic Party on the other side.

I hope the administration will send Maduro back to Venezuela to face justice in his own country. There he will certainly be convicted or, perhaps, simply hung from a lamppost like Mussolini. That would be much preferable to his spending a decade or two in America’s hopeless judicial system, and perhaps emerging as a left-wing hero.
