The Hernández pardon was not just mercy. It was strategy.
Biden’s DOJ took a former Honduran president who had cooperated with America, extradited traffickers, worked with U.S. agencies, slowed migration, and kept Honduras aligned with Taiwan, then helped turn him into a prison trophy as his successor pulled the country toward Beijing.
As President of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernández had been a partner in the requests that American presidents made of Honduras during his eight years in office.
Trump saw the board differently. He understood that Honduras was not a footnote—it was a strategic front 90 minutes from Texas.
The pardon, the endorsement, and the pressure campaign changed the election. And now Honduras is moving back toward America. [Luthmann]
Good Night, Patriots!
