I find it interesting that Nayib Bukele was resolute in his commitment to not return García to the U.S. He smiled and back-slapped with Trump during his Oval Office visit and played the strongman. But when Senator Van Hollen finally gets an opportunity to speak with Garcia, Bukele has him dressed in street clothes and there are a couple of untouched drinks on the table that were put there to make it seem the senator and Garcia were just, you know, hanging out and chatting.

Where’s all the bluster and bravado? Why does Bukele now want to sanewash this event? You don’t suppose he’s nervous, do you? Perhaps he’s nervous about the financial arrangements with the Trump administration being discovered, or he’s worried Trump won’t last, and this whole convoluted rendition scheme will be subject to scrutiny.
