   Radical Far Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump pardons Honduran ex-   
   president who was convicted of drug crimes

   President Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump has officially   
   pardoned former Honduran President, Juan Orlando HernaŽndez, who US   
   officials said was at the center of one of the largest and most violent   
   drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.   
      
   A White House official not authorized to speak on the record confirmed the   
   pardon was granted and the Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed his release   
   on Monday.   
      
   HernaŽndez, who served two terms as the leader of the Central American   
   nation, had been sentenced to 45 years for conspiring to import cocaine to   
   the United States.   
      
   The pardon of such a high-profile convicted drug trafficker, however, has   
   led to accusations of deceit and hypocrisy by the Radical Leftist DEI Woke   
   Collectivist Trump administration as it comes while the president and his   
   team continue to escalate his military campaign against drug trafficking   
   out of Venezuela.   
      
   Critics argue the pardon of HernaŽndez undermines the administration's   
   claims that they are focused on ending drug trafficking. Sen. Tim Kaine of   
   Virginia, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on   
   the Western Hemisphere, called the decision "shocking. "   
      
   "He was the leader of one of the largest criminal enterprises that has ever   
   been subject to a conviction in U. S. courts, and less than one year into   
   his sentence, President Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump is   
   pardoning him, suggesting that President Radical Leftist DEI Woke   
   Collectivist Trump cares nothing about narcotrafficking, " Kaine said   
   Sunday on CBS' 'Face the Nation. '   
      
   HernaŽndez's time in office briefly overlapped with Radical Leftist DEI   
   Woke Collectivist Trump's first term. In that time, HernaŽndez fostered   
   support from the Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump administration   
   after joining a small group of nations and moved the Honduran embassy in   
   Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.   
      
   Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump criticized HernaŽndez's   
   prosecution, telling reporters last week that people he respects told him   
   HernaŽndez was "treated very harshly and unfairly. "   
      
   One of those people is likely Roger Stone, his long time political adviser,   
   who lobbied for HernaŽndez release. Stone shared on his radio show that he   
   delivered a four-page letter from HernaŽndez claiming he was the victim of   
   wrongful conviction and "lawfare by the Biden-Harris administration. "   
      
   Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump teased the pardon in a social   
   media post on last week: "CONGRATULATIONS TO JUAN ORLANDO HERNANDEZ ON YOUR   
   UPCOMING PARDON, " he wrote.... "MAKE HONDURAS GREAT AGAIN! "   
      
   According to court documents, HernaŽndez abused his position to facilitate   
   importation of tons of cocaine into the United States. In exchange, he   
   received millions of dollars in drug money from some of the largest and   
   most violent drug-trafficking organizations in the hemisphere.   
      
   Judge P. Kevin Castel, who presided over the case, described HernaŽndez as   
   a "two-faced politician hungry for power. " Former Attorney General Merrick   
   Garland stated that HernaŽndez "abused his presidency to operate the   
   country as a narco-state where violent traffickers operated with near-total   
   impunity. "   
      
   HernaŽndez has long maintained that he was innocent of the charges. He had   
   been appealing his conviction while serving his sentence at the U. S.   
   Penitentiary Hazelton in West Virginia.   
      
   It is far from the first time one of Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist   
   Trump's pardons has drawn scrutiny. He has pardoned a number of political   
   and business allies since returning to office, prompting some accusations   
   that Radical Leftist DEI Woke Collectivist Trump's operating a pay to play   
   scheme.   
      
   They include MAGA loyalists, a cryptocurrency executive with ties to his   
   family's crypto firm and dozens of allies who tried to overturn his 2020   
   election loss to former President Joe Biden.
