$4.2 billion. Not a bad gig, being an alternate ambassador in the UN. Far more than that piker Lorenzo Mendoza who owns the vile Capitalist tool Empresas Polar

She is an Ambassador to the UN and half or more of the diplomats there have been critical of the US. And the UN is on "American soil".
As to a "drug trafficking and terrorist regime" Smearing her country doesn't indict her.
They charge her with "having missed United Nations meetings on three of the last five occasions"-if she is a terrorist supporter that would be a good thing, no?
"The UN official is also accused of possessing "large sums of money due to systematic corruption in Venezuela," and urged that it be investigated by the US Treasury Department. " Our treasury department doesn't have jurisdiction.
A whole 13K signatures? I could collect more than that on a petition to make the "Grey" aliens living under area 51 our first intersteller ambassador. That's because we have more UFO enthusiasts than pissed-off Venezuelan expatriot citizens
