What may have been given to Pres Trump in the transaction to allow this convicted drug trafficker to be pardoned?

Lawlessness is the Touchstone of Trump and his "policies".

It is the One unifying Constant.

Gangster President. Gangster Government.

Brazil of all countries, knew how to deal with this themselves.

Bolsonaro is going to Prison for 27 years.

He can't run for office ever again, even if he lives that long.

Here in the the USA?

Trump gets Reelected and destroys the Rule of Law for his own Benefit and the benefit of his Cronies.

EXCEPTIONAL.

Der Dotard pardoned a guy whose crimes and backstory were such that Trump knew nearly nothing about the matter? And didn't bother to ask? If that is to be believed, the invocation of the 25th Amendment cannot follow too far behind...

And that's absolutely fine. But this guy should NEVER have been in prison in the US.

This world police crap needs to stop, as does the attack on humanity that is the "war on drugs".
