A pardon with no proof of innocence?

....snippet

Aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said he was “asked by Honduras (and) many of the people of Honduras” to pardon Hernández.

“They said it was a (former president Joe) Biden setup. I don’t mean Biden. Biden didn’t know he was alive, but it was the people that surround the Resolute desk, surround Biden when he was there, which was about, uh, very little time,” Trump said. “And the people of Honduras really thought he was set up, and it was a terrible thing.”

Members of Hernández‘s conspiracy used the Honduran president’s position to more easily traffic drugs into the U.S. — to the extent of using “heavily armed Honduran National Police officers to protect their cocaine loads as they transited through Honduras towards the United States for eventual distribution.”

Hernández‘s brother, Juan Antonio Hernández Alvarado; the former chief of the Honduran National Police, Juan Carlos Bonilla Valladares; a former member of the Honduran National Police and Hernández’s cousin, Mauricio Hernández Pineda; and the cocaine trafficker, Geovanny Fuentes Ramirez, have pleaded guilty to participating in the cocaine importation conspiracy.

There it is!!!!! It's Biden's fault..... AGAIN.

I trust lying TRUMP about as far as I can throw him. He has lied both terms consistently. And now the people think he is innocent. Trump thinks a president should NEVER go to jail? That sure says a lot regarding his current policies. I'm guessing he thinks he's king of 2 countries now. This is unbelievable. This move will come back and bite Trump in the ass when the drugs start flowing into the US again. I'm also guessing there has to be some type of behind the scenes financial repayment. All Trump recognizes is MONEY. This needs to be looked into deeper than Trump saying "And I looked at the facts and I agreed with them.” What were the facts?
