Trump to pardon Ex-Honduras President Guilty of Drug Trafficking and conspiring to import cocaine into the United States

What sense does it make at all, that Trump would pardon Hernandez, if there wasn't factual evidence that the Biden DOJ did something shady?

Trump exhibits poor and/or corrupt and self-serving judgment on a regular basis. How would him following the advice of former associate and fellow criminal Roger Stone not make sense given his track record?

Okay. Alrighty then... Awkward..!

...A jury wouldn't know if, say, the Biden DOJ made some special arrangements with some witnesses, especially if those arrangements were kept classified.

When an action cannot be justified, yet a courageous individual steps up to defend it, that person may be mistaken—entirely in error for trying to support what cannot be defended. Nonetheless, their bravery and willingness to stand apart from the crowd to champion the indefensible should be acknowledged as a form of chivalry.

That's a kind of wisdom that I cannot disagree with.

It is folly, not wisdom.

In our society, we celebrate the practice of providing a legal defense for the accused, whether they turn out guilty or innocent...

Here, you're telling me that it's foolish to do the same in a non-legal, social environment.

I couldn't disagree more. Because open, respectful conversation, even if your views are in the minority, is helpful in subtle ways, regardless of whether the help is passed on directly or indirectly. Especially if the indirect aspect results in diminishing groupthink tendencies which are often egotistical in nature.

You spoke of defending “unjustifiable” action.
You want to defend unjustifiable action?

Only to the extent that I would defend unjustifiable action based on a premise that we have limited information, and not the full story. In regards to Trump pardoning someone, he says he has a reason based on "facts" according to his own words, but does not share those facts.

I can defend someone based on my belief that those facts do exist, in the same way we often trust our government based on other classified facts that they do not share, based on reasons we are not permitted to know.

The idea Trump would make decisions as odd as this one based on any kind of facts is not his M.O.
Trump bases pardon decisions on his opinion that, "they were treated very unfairly" with no supporting fact what so ever.

Keep in mind both Orlando Hernández and his brother Tony Hernández were indicted by the Trump admin DOJ in 2019.
Tony was sentenced to life by the Trump admin DOJ.
Not sure why no one in the Hernández family didn't write a "Kim Jong Un flowery letter" to Trump as they did with Orlando
But it's sad that tapping into Trump narcissistic traits is enough to get a El Chapo affiliated drug running to the US convict pardoned.

This guy must have made some huge Trump meme coin purchases or something, timed to be attributable to him.
