If anyone is watching the press briefing,
just said Maduro was in the “ready position” and expected the raid.
My assumption is that this is very much like when Avon Barksdale was raided in the Wire, and was just sitting in an empty room waiting for the cops, worried more about the cops ruining his oversized safe that was too big to get out of the room than he was for himself
Given the lack of chaos following, I think they have anticipated this for awhile.
The key is to see what actually comes out of it. I will bet they were probably holding for more of a fiasco.
