Trump THROWS his OWN Lawyer UNDER BUS in PARDON SCHEME
Trump Pardon Backfires: Honduran Ex-President’s Prosecution Led by Trump’s Own Appointee
Discover how Donald Trump’s claim of a weaponized prosecution against the Honduran President he pardoned directly collapses, as records show Trump’s own lawyer initiated the case during his first administration.
Short Summary
- Reveal Ironic Inception: The investigation against Juan Orlando Hernandez began under the Trump-led DOJ.
- Identify Key Player: Emil Boove, Trump’s former defense lawyer, served as the lead federal prosecutor in the case.
- Expose Political Flip-Flop: Allies who condemned Boove's departure under Biden now support Trump’s full pardon of Boove’s target.
- Highlight Authoritarian Pattern: The move illustrates a pattern where transactional loyalty supersedes the rule of law, mirroring other global strongmen.
This conversation between Ben Meiselas and Harry Litman details the immediate contradiction arising from Donald Trump pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez (JOH). The central focus reveals that the prosecution resulting in JOH’s 45-year sentence was led by Emil Boove, an attorney Trump later appointed to a federal appeals court seat. This fundamentally undermines Trump's narrative that the case was a politically motivated "witch hunt" orchestrated by the Biden administration.

Trump is now a prominent member of the global crime syndicate. This is a nightmare
You can bet Trump pardoned Hernandez in return for a huge bribe.
Zero sympathy for anyone who associates themselves with Trump. FAFO!
I see no difference between Jan 6 violent insurrectionist’s and the rogue MAGA supreme court judges
So Trump is taking bribes from drug cartels while illegally killing fishermen in the Caribbean, whom he accuses of trafficking? Uhh… That's way worse than a war crime; these are war crimes being used to cover up presidential corruption?
Congress needs to get a grip and climb out of their turtle shells and stop this lunacy! Impeach!
There has not been on pardon this term to an actually innocent person wrongfully imprisoned for years. I am appalled at the abuse
He is " collecting ", billions of dollars, from all these pardons !!!😮
Pardons for sale. The bigger the criminal, the easier they can pay for one.
Follow the money. This pardon wasn't provided for free.
