Gleeful Christmas tidings of bloody murder from Secretary of War Crimes Pete Hegseth:
Trump pardons Honduran ex-president and convicted drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernandez, because he doesn’t think it’s fair to imprison a powerful right-wing ally.
But he orders the US military to murder scores of alleged “drug runners” without trial or even public evidence.
