President Donald Trump said Friday he intends to grant a “full and complete pardon” to former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, a move that would erase a major US drug-trafficking conviction for a onetime US ally who is currently serving a 45-year federal prison sentence.
Last year, Juan Orlando Hernández was convicted of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of cocaine into the United States:
Someone is goading/bribing Trump into acting so that they can take control of the Central and North American narcotics trade.
That’s why he pushed for invading Mexico to fight the cartels, and when that didn’t work out, he shifted to starting a war with Venezuela.
It’s obviously not a sincere effort to stop narcotics traffic, or he wouldn’t be pardoning Hernández. It’s much more likely that he’s pardoning Hernández because he either already is or is intended to be a well-connected and experienced ally to Trump and whoever it is that he’s working for/with.
So here’s how I see it:

Hey now, there’s no law against selling pardons.
I do remember he let El Chapos family into the U.S… I’m not sure why yet
