The Honduran AG has issued an International arrest warrant for the man who Krasnov pardoned. The man who brought Don Jr's cocaine to America must have given Krasnov a huge sum of money to get his pardon?
This has to be one of the worst pardons ever given by a president and Democrats should be keeping this in the news, but I won't hold my breath.

Hernández, 57, is wanted for money laundering and fraud, in connection with allegations that his 2013 political campaign used stolen public funds.
We have been lacerated by the tentacles of corruption and by the criminal networks that have deeply marked the life of our country, Honduran attorney general Johel Antonio Zelaya Alvarez wrote in a post on social media. Alvarez said he had instructed law enforcement to arrest Hernández and had alerted Interpol for assistance.
Hernández was released Dec. 1 from U.S. Penitentiary Hazelton in West Virginia, The Washington Post previously reported. The former Honduran president, who was in office from 2014 to 2022, was convicted last year of helping move at least 400 tons of cocaine into the United States, while protecting traffickers from extradition and prosecution......
Federal prosecutors during Trumps first administration initially accused Hernández of trafficking drugs and weapons in their successful indictments of former Honduran National Police chief Juan Carlos El Tigre Bonilla and congressman Juan Antonio Tony Hernández, the presidents brother. Bonilla pleaded guilty in 2019 to conspiracy to import cocaine and was sentenced to 19 years in prison. Tony Hernández was found guilty that year of conspiracy to import cocaine and weapons charges and sentenced to life. Both remain in prison.
