If the Maduro government tries to expel diplomats by force that will be the spark that could provoke military action from the US, which Trump has already said he is prepared to take (said it in 2017, 2018 and now). Game changer is Russia, which recognizes Maduro. Geopolitical war

Statement from Julian Assange's US lawyer Barry Pollack on Roger J. Stone: "The dawn military-style arrest of Mr. Stone, a 66 year old political consultant, was wholly unnecessary and served no purpose other than intimidation.” (1/3)
“The charges against Mr. Stone do not allege that Mr. Stone lied about his [lack of] contacts with Julian Assange, but rather about his contacts with others and about documents reflecting those communications.” (2/3)
As I’ve said before, Stone had no actual link to Wikileaks, he just trolled everyone into thinking that he did. He’s now being indicted for lying to Congress — not to Mueller btw — about his efforts to find out what Wikileaks had from two people who also had no real link either.
