Trump: I'm going to pardon massive drug kingpin Juan Orlando Hernández, bc I don't think former leaders should be held accountable for their crimes.
Also Trump: But I'm going to make thinly sourced claims that Maduro is a drug kingpin so I can rationalize an illegal war based on that claim.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said "This strike sent a clear message: if you traffic drugs toward our shores, the United States military will use every tool at our disposal to stop you cold.”
