Well Hernandez was only pardoned a few days ago (December 2025)... MAYBE it was an act intended to get Maduro to just give up? ...and MAYBE NOW the intention is for him to be sent back to Honduras, to be tried and punished by the Honduran people... MUCH like Manuel Noriaga... who, FOR the RECORD, died in Prison in Panama !Mrkelly » 03 Jan 2026, 9:43 am » wrote: ↑ In December 2025, President Donald Trump officially granted a full pardon to former Honduran President
Juan Orlando Hernández, who had been serving a 45-year sentence in a U.S. prison for drug trafficking and weapons offenses. Hernández was released from federal prison in West Virginia shortly after the pardon was issued.
- During his sentencing, it was noted that over “400 tons” (or “hundreds of tons”) of cocaine were trafficked under this scheme.
- The indictment alleges that JOH used the Honduran National Police and military to protect drug shipments transiting Honduras.
- Weapons, machine guns, and destructive devices were used by the drug traffickers he conspired with to safeguard shipments.
- JOH received millions of dollars in drug-money bribes from trafficking organizations and used those funds to finance his political rise and campaigns. As one key example, prosecutors said that a payment of about US$1 million was made by the Sinaloa Cartel (via its leader at the time, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, aka “El Chapo”) to JOH’s brother and close ally (also convicted of drug trafficking in the U.S.) in exchange for continued protection of the cartel’s drug-trafficking operations in Honduras.
- Prosecutors argued that money from drug trafficking was used to bribe election officials and influence elections, helping to ensure JOH’s electoral victories in 2013 and 2017.
Manual Noriega's Punishment: Manual Noriega's trial in the U.S. concluded in 1992, resulting in a lengthy prison sentence. After serving 17 years, he was extradited to France in 2010 for money laundering charges. He returned to Panama in 2011 to serve additional sentences for human rights abuses. Noriega died on May 29, 2017, in Panama City. His legacy remains controversial, marked by his initial alliance with the U.S. and subsequent downfall due to corruption and violence.
AMERICA, and AMERICANS, NEED to WAKE up… There is NOTHING “Democratic” about the CURRENT American “Democrat Party”! THEY are more an amalgamation of Totalitarian Marxists, Socialists, Communists, and Globalists… who are BENT on TAKING, and then KEEPING power... & where ultimately the American PEOPLE will have NO SAY AT ALL in how we are GOVERNED... and our "Democracy" will be DEAD!!
