We're going to shove the drugs up the nose of the gringos, and they're not even going to realize it.
- Former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández

Hernández, whom Mr. Trump called a victim of persecution, helped orchestrate a decades-long trafficking conspiracy. He flooded the US with cocaine. The 57-year-old former two-term president was sentenced last year to 45 years in U.S. prison for helping drug traffickers to safely move hundreds of tons of cocaine north through his country to the U.S.
Trump now signals Hernández will receive a full pardon.
I've asked around people I know to be MAGA supporters and not a single one has been able to square the administration's policy of extrajudicial killings of alleged narco-terrorists in the Gulf of Mexico and Eastern Pacific with the promise of a pardon.
The cynic in me wonders if perhaps pardons are for sale.
