The U.S. has tried to negotiate with Cabello before. In 2015, Thomas Shannon, who was then counsellor to Secretary of State John Kerry, met with Cabello in Haiti to pave the way for legislative elections that the opposition won by a landslide. But until now, the Trump administration has shown deep scorn for Cabello, hitting him with sanctions last year for allegedly organizing drug shipments and running a major graft network that embezzled state funds and invested the stolen proceeds in Florida real estate. The U.S. also believes he discussed a plot to kill Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who has called him Venezuelas Pablo Escobar. Cabello is one of the worst of the worst inside of Venezuela, said Fernando Cutz, a former senior national security adviser on Latin America to both President Barack Obama and Trump. If the strategy is to try to negotiate with the mafia boss, hes your guy. But thats a strategy that carries some heavy risks.------ AP Exclusive: US talks secretly to Venezuela socialist boss By JOSHUA GOODMAN August 19, 2019

So, in 2015, 2 years before this article about the threat against Rubio was written, this narcoterrorist was holding meetings with John Kerry’s people.

John Kerry’s known for his use of narcoterrorists before, when he was busy smearing anticommunist Americans in an effort to support the Sandinistas in Nicaragua.
