At some point, I would love to see an interviewer ask someone from the Trump administration which specific portion of Article II they are relying on.
Pam Bondi: "This was well within the president's Article 2 powers. It was a law enforcement function to arrest indicted individuals in Venezuela."

For those who think impeachment isn't practical good tactics:
If a president violates the constitution or breaks the law and you don't impeach, you're ceding that the constitution is void and so is the law.
So much for practicality and good tactics.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

"We're there now," Trump says of Venezuela, insisting the U.S. will run the country.
Who is "we"? Does the U.S. have military forces in the Miraflores Palace or elsewhere in Venezuela? How many? Are we saying Vice President Delcy Rodríguez isn't de facto in control?
Huge, huge open questions.

Donald Trump has multiple indictments in the United States for crimes against the US government. And also pardoned top drug dealers.
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
