Maduro Not Testifying Against US Officials in Election Rigging Case
“Former Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro set to testify against DOZENS of Democrat and RINO Governors and Secretaries of State as well as election officials that have taken MILLIONS OF DOLLARS in bribes from his regime in exchange for RIGGING elections against President Trump and America First candidates since the infamous STOLEN 2020 presidential election. Maduro is alleged to have provided the state officials with Dominion and Smartmatic voting machines and software to conduct their elections and fraudulently alter results. These are the same elections systems that have been used to fix elections for Venezuelan dictators for decades in order to put and keep them in power, including Maduro himself. Top names he is reportedly set to testify against in an ongoing federal RICO case that is being built include Brian Kemp and Brad Raffensperger of Georgia as well as Gretchen Whitmer and Jocelyn Benson of Michigan in exchange for immunity in Maduro's own federal drug trafficking case. Maduro knows all of the big fish who have been STEALING elections in our country and they're about to go to prison for a very long time. As President Trump put it, STONE COLD CROOKS!”
