The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

The DOJ has done an incredible job at combatting this widespread, elaborate attempt to evade US sanctions. Gorrin and his co-conspirators blatantly paid off Venezuelan officials, who themselves have been caught purchasing luxury items in the US. The arrogance of these crimes did not go unnoticed and will be prosecuted to the greatest extent of the law.

Establishment-critical narrative

It makes sense that the DOJ would indict a man accused of taking Venezuelan oil money, given that Washington's goal is to take control of a state-owned industry. The imperialist role of the American oil industry — and its friends in government — must be remembered. This is an effort to privatize and profit off of Venezuela's natural resources.
