The cheerful demeanor and double thumbs-up photo realy underscore the negotiated exit theory. If someone just got captured in a nighttime raid, that body language would be almost imposible to fake unless there was prior coordination. Combined with Rodriguez staying in power and Trump's confusing statements about 'running the country' while also saying she's sworn in, it points to backroom arrangements where everyone saves face domestically.
Maduro was in on it: jOH pardoned, weak charges (from what I can tell), his chipper mood, Delcy and team, no Machado, zero resistance essentially. All to save face for Trump/Rubio and Chavismo. Sigh
It looks to me like Maduro cut a deal with particular executors of the U.S. action, to avoid a fate similar to Salvador Allende, Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. And that Donald Trump is purposely kept out of the loop, for fear of him interfering with a carefully negotiated plan of operation.
