Trump says that according to people that he "greatly respect," convicted narco-trafficker Juan Orlando Hernandez was "treated very harshly and unfairly," and therefore deserves a pardon
As president of Honduras, Hernandez initiated contracts worth over $600,000 with GOP lobbying firm BGR Group, after his brother, Tony, was sentenced to life in prison for cocaine smuggling. Since then, BGR has donated heavily to the campaigns of Marco Rubio
In pardoning Hernandez, Trump is taking the word of corrupt lobbyists and South Florida's Gusano Industrial Complex, while ignoring the DOJ indictment which resulted in the ex-president's 45 year sentence for trafficking 500 tons of drugs into the US
Below is part of the table of contents for that indictment, which documents in painstaking detail how Hernandez transformed his country into a narco-state
