Letter Go

As I mentioned yesterday, the boat strikes can’t possibly be focused on stopping drugs when Trump is pardoning someone who helped bring more than 500 tons of cocaine into the United States, did deals with El Chapo, and bragged that he would “stuff the drugs up the gringos noses,” during the same week we’re debating the legality of his boat bombings. “President Trump formally pardoned former President Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras on Monday evening, fulfilling a vow he had made days before to free an ex-president who was at the center of what the authorities had characterized as ‘one of the largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.’ Mr. Trump pledged to issue the pardon last week, after Mr. Hernández sent him a four-page letter casting himself as a victim of ‘political persecution’ by the Biden-Harris administration and comparing his fate to that of the American president.” NYT (Gift Article): Former President of Honduras Is Freed From Prison After Trump Pardon.
