The moral of the story is don't follow illegal orders. It might land you in a jail cell and you know you'll get no support from the white nationalists who head up the regime.

My undying admiration will go to any reporter who brings up all the evidence of former Honduras President Hernandez's crimes running drugs, and reminds that he was convicted by a jury, and ask Trump how he can claim to be tackling the drug problem while letting such a large trafficker go free.

Then, Trump pardons the drug kingpin who built the cocaine superhighway to the U.S.
