Seriously, America is a rogue country unable to save itself while its demise blazes in a corruption conflagration that is igniting fires world wide, would some sane perhaps legally qualified world leaders like to do their jobs & band together to condemn this latest lawlessness given what it signals
Trump says he will pardon former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was charged, tried and convicted on drug trafficking charges, and who is currently serving a 45-year sentence in a US prison. Why? Probably because he gave Trump a taste of the action.
