This is ridiculous. It was the first TRUMP admin which developed the cases against President Hernandez. His brother Tony Hernandez was indicted in 2018 and convicted in 2019, and key ally Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez was indicted in 2020.
Both were later sentenced to life in prison!

Leavitt: "The people of Honduras have highlighted to him how the former President Hernandez was set up. This was a clear Biden over prosecution."

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

True. The party of Reagan and McCain is now the party of Vladimir Putin. The GOP is the #RussiaFirst party.
It’s not a stretch to say that my former political party is now firmly pro-Russia/pro-Putin. Not a stretch at all. It’s traitorous, but it’s true. Look, the leader of my former political party works for Putin. He’s on Putin’s side. Always has been. And the party has followed him.

That Trump is pardoning a thug who smuggled 400 tons of cocaine into the US should not distract us from the fact that he is working with Russia's Putin to force Ukraine's surrender. Why aren't more Republicans following Bacon's lead and talking about Trump's treachery?
Rep. Don Bacon: " The initial peace agreement from last week was for Ukraine to give up more land, to reduce the size of its army, have to not be allowed to join NATO…It really was a surrender document."

President Hernandez was responsible for smuggling 500 TONS of cocaine into the United States! He was the top dog; the Pablo Escobar figure! He wasn’t just “selling drugs in that country.”
Reporter: You have made so clear how you want to keep drugs out of the US—
Trump: Right
Reporter: Can you explain why you would pardon a notorious drug trafficker?
Trump: If somebody sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president

Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes.
Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

In this Ohio town, it was tradition: Latin mass, biscuits and gravy at Bob Evans, and then down to the old marina to shoot a bunch of fishermen and claim they were running drugs. But now the woke mob wants to take all that away.

The fact that 12% of federal judges are Black shows the corruption of DEI. The fact that 67% of Supreme Court Justices belong to a small legal cult called the Federalist Society shows the power of meritocracy.

That's 400 TONS of cocaine shipped to the US by Hernandez, the guy Trump is pardoning. Found guilty by a US jury and sentenced to decades in prison. Where does the GOP stand on this outrage?
Convicted of conspiring to traffic more than 400 tons of cocaine since 2004. We had credible intel well over a decade ago of Hernandez’s ranch used to transship Colombian cocaine arriving on small planes. But sure, blame Biden. You blame him for most everything else you can’t explain away.
Translation: There is no reasonable explanation.

We will have to import a foreign journalist to get this question asked. Most US journos don't seem to want to ask Trump hard questions for fear of losing "access" to his lies.

Trump has been bragging about taking the MoCA dementia test since his first term. You don't get this test unless your doctor suspects there is a problem.
Do reporters ever follow up with questions like:
-Why do doctors keep telling you to get cognitive tests?
-Is identifying a picture of a giraffe challenging for you?
-Can you tell us a difficult question from one of these cognitive tests, or are you unable to remember?
