To MAGA, in their extreme delusion, it tracks, though. They don't like Paul unless he's grilling Fauci

Are you deeming the kickbacks a “benefit”?

No no we're not talking about that.

He's arguing that since we engaged in recent, expensive military operations to take out some drug boats, that it's proof that politicians have "allowed" the drug trade (specifically out of Venezuela) to go on. He thinks we could have been doing this the whole time to stop the drugs.

I said that we cannot afford to do this operations as a regular drug enforcement policy. While it would stop more drugs from coming into the US, the costs would outweigh the benefits by a great margin.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Maduro Spy Chief’s Letter To Trump Seeks To Expose Narco-Terrorist War Against U.S.

Dec 3, 2025

The Dallas Express has obtained an explosive letter addressed to President Donald Trump from Hugo Carvajal Barrios — the former Director of Military Intelligence for Venezuela and once one of the most powerful figures inside the governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

The letter, shared exclusively with DX by Carvajal’s attorney, Robert Feitel — a former senior Justice Department prosecutor — marks the first time the retired Major General has put these warnings on the record since pleading guilty earlier this year in a U.S. federal narco-terrorism case.

Carvajal — extradited from Spain after a lengthy international manhunt — says he is writing “to atone” and to alert Americans to what he describes as a coordinated, state-directed campaign targeting the United States.

The DX Brief
Former Venezuelan intelligence chief Hugo Carvajal — once a top Chávez and Maduro insider — pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court in June and now warns that Venezuela is a “narco-terrorist organization” intentionally targeting the United States.
Carvajal alleges the Maduro regime weaponized cocaine, collaborated with FARC, ELN, Cuban intelligence, and Hezbollah, and exported violent criminal networks — including Tren de Aragua — into the United States.
He asserts Venezuelan and Cuban intelligence infiltrated U.S. institutions for two decades, including military installations.
He claims Smartmatic was developed inside Venezuela as an election-manipulation tool later deployed abroad.
Carvajal says he supports Trump’s Venezuela policies and stands ready to provide further details to federal authorities.
A Warning Delivered From Inside Venezuela’s Inner Circle
Carvajal — widely known by his nickname “El Pollo” — spent years inside the top tiers of Venezuela’s security apparatus and dealt directly with the senior leadership of both Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.

Earlier this year, he pleaded guilty in federal court to charges stemming from a conspiracy that moved cocaine into the United States and provided support to Colombia’s FARC guerrillas. Prosecutors say at the center of the so-called Cartel de los Soles, a network of Venezuelan military officials accused of weaponizing cocaine and the drug trade against Americans.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking Thursday on Hannity, issued one of the strongest statements yet:

“The Maduro regime is not a legitimate government. What it is is a transshipment organization… allowing cocaine and other drugs to move through Venezuela on airplanes and ships headed toward the United States.”

The U.S. State Department currently maintains a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro’s arrest — a figure publicly announced by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this year.

The following letter reflects Carvajal’s statements and claims; The Dallas Express has not independently verified all of the underlying allegations.

Yes, and imagine no one within the Trump Administration, or President Trump himself, saying anything about this list that was supposedly handed to him and reported on a month ago.

Even if the MSM would try to stay quiet about this and bury it, no way would President Trump and more known conservative media or pundits. Certainly not with the 2026 midterms now upon us. Trump could use this list to improve his chances of removing his adversaries in the Senate, if it truly existed and was credible.

That’s incredible.

Meaning, unable to be believed.

Why don’t they tell us more before we decide this is just as presented.
