Claiming he was just trying to free Josh Holt, a devout young Mormon from Utah held hostage by Venezuela's Maduro regime on phony charges, left-wing Illinois Democratic senator Dick Durbin isn't exactly credible about his real mission in his secret visit to Caracas this past week.
Rep. Pete Sessions, a Dallas-based Republican, isn't exactly believable, either, given that he called his secret trip with Durbin "a peace mission" to Caracas last week.

Sessions represents a district of Dallas that includes a large Exxon presence. The oil giant has been trying to get paid for the assets the Chavista socialists nationalized without paying for and then ruined. Something there might be on the agenda, particularly since Venezuela has been defaulting on its debt and allowing its oil industry to go to seed. The Associated Press has a bit more here.
Durbin, meanwhile, has no obvious reason to be there. The State Department might know what he had in mind, but those guys aren't talking.
Sessions might be trying to get the Venezuelan government to compensate Exxon and other U.S. energy companies. China and Russia pulled out of Venezuela and the government is desperate.
But why is lying slime ball Durbin tagging along?

Turbin Durbin just likes to rub shoulders with dictators - he has a history of cuddling up to them.

Durbin is just making a pilgrimage to the land where all his political ideas come from.

I hope it’s because Dick Durbin is defecting and that Pete Sessions went along just to make sure Durbin doesn’t change his mind...

Maybe why they went down has nothing to do with Venezuela, but the PTB down there were happy to provide the 2 with cover for whatever the 2 really are doing.

Why did Jon Cary go to Antarctica right before he left office. Oh yea, the only continent he had not been on, and he wanted to check that box on the taxpayers dime.
