It will be led, he said, by “clean” anti-Maduro army personnel in Venezuela, along with military forces said to be mustered in the United States, Colombia, Peru, Brazil and from a Caribbean island Chovet said was best not to identify. <b>He said the foundation had support from the governments of Colombia and from officials close to Jair Bolsonaro, the incoming right-wing president of Brazil.</b></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);" times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" font-size="font-size" large="large"><b style=""><font face="Times New Roman" size="4">Now, they hope — with some help from the Trump administration — the second time’s a charm. “We don’t believe in dialogue,” he said. “The regime are assassins.”</font></b></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman">The Venezuela Freedom Foundation’s work — from within the borders of the United States — to launch an armed overthrow of a foreign government raises a fundamental question. While the Trump administration has been openly calling for regime change in Venezuela, which would seem to encourage or at least embolden groups like the Venezuela Freedom Foundation, it’s<b> highly likely to be a crime for private American citizens to actually get involved in Maduro’s forcible overthrow.</b></font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em;"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">And that’s precisely what the foundation has sought to do<b>.

They [the trio] wanted Ballard involved, and I said, ‘I’ll see what they say.’”</font></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1em; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font size="4" face="Times New Roman"><b>Ballard flatly denied that his firm had worked for the exiles. </b>“I’ve never even met these guys,” he wrote in an email.

I never did any work for them and I never contacted anyone on their behalf, including Sen.
