NOTE: I make no judgements on the Venezuela situation but it sounds
very similiar to what Dems would try with Trump.
"A Venezuelan judge on Monday issued an arrest warrant for Edmundo
González, the opposition politician widely believed to have beaten
President Nicolás Maduro in the recent election, for alleged crimes
that could see him spend the rest of his life behind bars if
convicted.
González, a 75-year-old retired diplomat, was catapulted into the eye
of Venezuelas political storm earlier this year when he agreed to
challenge Maduro in the 28 July presidential election in the place of
the banned opposition leader María Corina Machado.
Maduro subsequently claimed victory, without providing proof and in
spite of a growing body of evidence suggesting the unpopular
authoritarian actually suffered a heavy defeat because of public anger
over an economic collapse that has seen millions flee abroad"
