Venezuelan Attorney General Tarek William Saab on Wednesday resigned from his position after almost nine years — only for him to be appointed as interim Ombudsman moments later after Ombudsman Alfredo Ruiz also resigned on the same day.

Saab – a lawyer, poet, and a self-declared “stoic Buddhist” – is one of the most infamous “original” members of the Venezuelan socialist regime and a man once known as the “Poet of the Revolution,” a designation given by late dictator Hugo Chávez at the start of his rule in 1999. Saab, a close ally of deposed socialist dictator Nicolás Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, was among the group of lawyers that represented Chávez and other individuals involved in the failed February 4 and November 27, 1992, coup attempts against late President Carlos Andrés Pérez.

A judge is expected to order Greenpeace to pay a $345 million judgment, which will (hopefully) bankrupt the extremist environmental organization.

Greenpeace is expected to appeal the ruling.

Last year, a jury awarded Energy Transfer $660 million against Greenpeace. The judge felt that was too high and halved the award. Energy Transfer intends to file an appeal seeking the full $660 million.

The suspect who allegedly shot at a Border Patrol agent Sunday near the U.S./Canada border had a driver license for a male then changed to a driver license “denominated to be female,” according to U.S. Attorney Erin Creegan.

WMUR quoted Creegan saying, “This individual did have a previous Massachusetts driver’s license that was denominated to be male and now has a New Hampshire driver’s license, which is denominated to be female. So, it’s a reasonable assumption that the person has decided to transition their gender.”
