US Government Puts Embassy Protectors—and International Law—On Trial
In this segment Sean and Jacquie are joined by Embassy Protection Collective members Kevin Zeese and Dr. Adrienne Pine to talk about why the US government is putting their group on trial for protecting the Venezuelan Embassy in Washington DC from a mob besieging the building, how the court system and State Department have colluded to premise their case on the legal fiction that Juan Guaido is the President of Venezuela, why the US government permitted a paramilitary force of far-right Latin Americans to repeatedly assault the Embassy Protectors, and what their case says about the limits of freedom of speech for those opposing imperialism.
