According to national security expert Martin Rodil, U.S. authorities are actively investigating Jorge Rodríguez, Venezuela’s chief political operator and former head of its National Electoral Council, for alleged foreign interference in the 2020 U.S. presidential election and broader connections to transnational criminal syndicates.
Speaking exclusively to journalist Emerald Robinson, Rodil described Rodríguez as “the architect of Venezuela’s election-rigging software infrastructure the same one he used for Chávez, and again in 2020.”
He added: “I’m confident the U.S. will pursue justice for the manipulation of our elections. This time, accountability is coming.”
Rodríguez was the political technologist behind Hugo Chávez’s electoral stronghold, built on a digital framework originally contracted through Smartmatic, a Venezuelan-founded election software company. Although Smartmatic publicly distanced itself from Caracas years ago, intelligence analysts have long suggested that core components of the system remain accessible to Venezuelan cyber operatives and Cuban intelligence technicians embedded within ministries in Caracas.
Insiders believe this infrastructure was exported covertly through software partnerships and subcontractors, potentially allowing state-linked technicians to access or replicate comparable database systems abroad.
“When you control the scripts and audit trails of vote management software, you control the perception of legitimacy,” said one former defense intelligence officer familiar with the investigation. “It’s not about hacking ballots it’s about hacking trust.”
Rodil emphasized that the ongoing U.S. operation extends beyond political interference. It reportedly targets Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan super-cartel that has expanded across Latin America and established operational cells within the United States.
Tren de Aragua’s U.S. base: Federal agencies have traced activity linked to money laundering and human trafficking across Florida, Texas, and Arizona.
Cartel HQ under surveillance: Intelligence sources cite simultaneous actions in Colombia, Costa Rica, and Panama to disrupt supply chain hubs.
Foreign influence rollback: U.S. operatives aim to dislodge Chinese, Russian, and Iranian footholds in Venezuela’s security and energy sectors reversing what one analyst called “a two-decade regional encirclement effort.”
Rodil described the effort as “not nation-building, but national protection and economic recovery.” He asserted that reclaiming stability in Venezuela could “earn U.S. taxpayers two or three dollars for every dollar spent.”
That claim aligns with broader strategic logic: Venezuela possesses the world’s largest proven oil reserves, yet its production has collapsed under sanctions and institutional rot. Reconstruction under U.S.-aligned oversight could yield a massive return in both oil security and hemispheric leverage, replacing reliance on OPEC and countering BRICS aligned petro politics.
Rodil disclosed that the intelligence behind these findings was briefed to entrepreneur Elon Musk and other Trump-aligned national security figures before the 2024 election, helping shape what aides later dubbed the “Election Integrity Contingency Network.”
Musk’s reported involvement through data-audit partnerships has drawn parallels to Eisenhower’s industrial-defense model but turned on its head: technology magnates now auditing the intelligence bureaucracy itself instead of deferring to it.
A senior official familiar with the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, described it as “the convergence of Silicon Valley’s forensic power with the patriotic intelligence community’s zeal to uncover digital subversion.”
If the Department of Justice succeeds in substantiating Rodil’s claims, the investigation could reveal the existence of a hybrid criminal-computational network one that fuses state control, criminal logistics, and foreign intelligence into a single, exportable system of influence.
This would mark the first known case of a geo-digital cartel:
a structure capable of manipulating both electoral legitimacy and economic sovereignty on a global scale.
Rodil insists this effort is more than historical correction. “The manipulation of our democracy must be answered with exposure and accountability,” he said. “When that happens, the American people will see that corruption abroad and instability at home are two sides of the same coin.”
Whether this investigation becomes a new blueprint for hemispheric reform or another lost opportunity will depend entirely on how much the U.S. government is willing to declassify and disclose. For now, the message is unmistakable:
The world’s hidden architectures of control are being dragged into the light.
