Related: About this forumEx-FBI Agent BREAKS DOWN why Top Charge May NOT HOLD - Legal AF
Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro appeared in federal court with his wife Cilia Flores on Monday to plead not guilty to narcotics trafficking charges. Ex-FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi questioned the premise of the top count against Maduro: a narco-terrorism conspiracy, arguing that the phrase has been stretched beyond recognition.
"We have a label we slapped on Maduro and his regime: You're all terrorists," Figliuzzi said. "Okay. Then I go back to the definition of terrorism, which is the use or threatened use of violence to intimidate or coerce or influence a government. For ideological purposes." Stay tuned for part two of the interview. - 01/05/2026.

As a lawyer she is almost as good as Halligan, Habba Dabba Doo and Shapiro. Their success rate at trial is pretty dismal.

And, under the felon-in-chief, she's abandoned the rule of law.
