"When asked, if (Thor Leonardo Halvorssen Mendoza) thought the government would let (Leopoldo Lopez Mendoza) out of jail anytime soon, (his first cousin) Halvorssen, 38, bluntly said, “I don’t. No. Absolutely not." He was wrong. foxnews.com/politics/cousi…
Leopoldo López was put under house arrest and then released to star in a strange video filmed outside a military base that was supposed to trigger an uprising. Operation Libertad on May 1. washingtonpost.com/world/2019/04/…
