Looming Presence in Drug Conspiracy Case: Honduras’s President (Published 2019)

President Juan Orlando Hernández, who won’t be at his brother’s U.S. trial, has been accused of using trafficking to “help assert power and control in Honduras.”

Nevermind what the truth is about this particular case: I am more interested in what it says about the U.S. president's faith in the country's justice system. How can the common man trust the judicial system if the president do not trust the judicial process to be fair and feels the need to correct it at his will?
 
Right before Honduras elections.
( Maybe he will be informant to catch more bad guys - a possible CIA dumb ass non-sensible Get Smart logic )

Interference in a country's internal affairs with Trump USA is a one way street.
o British objection with bombing boats off Venezuella, makes them no friend of USA as per Hoekstra
o Doug Ford's Regan video is USA Supreme Court interference as per Hoekstra
o Canada not buying the American airplane is subject to threat of Norad withdrawal - Hoekstra threat
o etc
