almost promise you that Delcy Rodríguez sold Maduro out.

Well she did probably sell out Maduro... But did you consider who she sold out to?

they should have ambushed him and stuck him in a bunker to be traded

after breaking his ribs like they did to Maduro's wife

Take your pick. She could have easily fired of a text to all sorts of people in DC she's previously been associated with. And if none of the insiders had called her back, the state department would have been the obvious next choice.

The CIA is the organization in charge of foreign regime installment operations. She was approached.

Did you actually read the article you just linked to me cause it gives every indication that she did the approaching. She's ambitious and I'd bet 20 dollars she reached out first.
