Hey, everybody. It's Will Salatin from The Bullwork. So you probably heard that about a week and a half ago, Donald Trump pardoned the former president of Honduras, Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had been convicted in an American court of massive, massive drug trafficking. And he was supposed to serve this guy about a 45-year sentence. Instead, he's gone. He's out of jail forever.

So this is kind of hard to explain because Trump's Department of War has been blowing up boats in the

Caribbean ostensibly to stop the flow of drugs into America. But this guy, who's basically a drug kingpin, gets a free pass. So, since that

pardon was announced, Republican senators have been asked to explain it. And what I want to show

you is that these gutless senators, I want to show you them squirming and trying to come up with

excuses for this totally outrageous pardon.

So let me show you the first one.

It's Senator Mark Wayne Mullen of Oklahoma.

He was on CNN on November 30th.

That's a little over a week ago, two days after Trump announced the pardon.

Here he is.

Why is he planning to pardon the former Honduran president

who was convicted by an American jury of drug trafficking,

who allegedly said, this is according to testimony from his trial,

he would quote, shove the drugs right up the noses of the gringoes

by flooding the United States with cocaine.

Well, the particular circumstances that I'm not quite aware of.

However, I do know we're trying to build relationships with Honduras.

We're trying to build relationships throughout South America and Central America.

And so I think by building new relationships, by allowing people to have a new beginning,

he's showing good face saying, hey, we're going to work with you as long as you work with us.

Building new relationships, allowing people to have a new beginning, right? I guess that's why we're blowing up all these guys on drugboats. Well, we claim their drug boats. And then we circle back
