Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

Mike Lee’s role is to justify Trump’s Venezuela invasion to conservative legal movement types, but this is fucking gibberish. The assertion that kidnapping a head of state “likely” falls under “inherent authority” is as close as it gets to admitting you’re a little errand boy doing as you’re told.
