MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Senator Marco Rubio may be the target of an assassination plot by a senior official within the Venezuelan government of Nicolas Maduro, according to a memo distributed by U.S. intelligence officials and obtained by CBS4 News.
The memo refers to the information as “a potentially grave threat to Senator Rubio.”
The unverified warning prompted federal officials to increase the security around the Florida Republican leading to the ongoing, round-the-clock protection for him and his family.
“You have to take this as serious and credible given the information,” a law enforcement source who had been briefed on the threat told CBS4 News. “We have no other choice.”
The threat and the memo were first reported Sunday afternoon by The Miami Herald.

Darn
Lol! Wtf do this incompetent boobs think they gain by harming the rube? Heck, he’s practically on their side, especially when they want to move out their stashed cash and buy a condo in Miami. He’s a swamp creature on his best day.
Rubio is on the amnesty team, he’s safe.
Let’s see. The Pope sent a one-million-dollar donation to the Hillary campaign. (Don’t give to Peter’s Pence!) Now the Pope’s buddy Maduro is plotting to kill Rubio. Strange times.
FUQ = "frequently unanswered question" :-P
The *shallow* state?
A couple times a year I go to dinner at private Venezuelan club down in Kendall. Everybody who could run the country responsibly is already in South Florida.
Hard to see this ending well. I blame the pope, more than anyone else, for what’s happening in that country.
Does Maduro think Rubio is President?
“Rubio is on the amnesty team, he’s safe.”
Is he not also part of the gang of eight?
Probably thinks he’s president of Miami.
You’ve got 4500 Cubans in VZ, because Maduro doesn’t trust the military. They run all the big stuff— Intel, petroleum, and a y. Ministry that issues official state I.d.’s. Get ready for a slew of Iranian spies holding official VZ passports.
Yes, the Gang of Eight was the Senate’s amnesty attempt of 2013.
The GOP four were Rubio, McCain, Graham and Flake.
Hoeven, Murkowsky, Hatch, Heller, Corker and Alexander also voted for it.
They all need to be voted out.
Who’d have guessed Lil Marco was worth whacking?
Rubio has been very good on supporting Trump in opposing the latest crop of Marxists in Latin America, including Raul Castro and Maduro. Actually, VZ is entirely a puppet state of Cuba, and many of the “Venezuelan military” supporting Maduro are actually Cubans.
Probably. His son thinks the White House is in New York.
But why? Rubio is useless to everybody.
They’re just doing the job Americans refused to do.
Rubio is very useful to the open borders/amnesty crowd.
That’s why he is safe.
Rubio is a great critic of Cuba and Venezuela.
