  1. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 that's were Joe Biden and Obama send our America money to…. 🥾🥾🗑️

  2. This is the reason why these countries are so poor. There are so many rats running those places

  3. In that case, Ronnie Reagan should have been on trial.

  4. He handled all the Young Turks' and Womps' cocaine.

  5. Any country expecting or accepting American taxpayers hard earned money, should obviously be held to the same rules and standards of those who’s money they are asking for (Hello Israel!) and any other country wanting our hard earned dollars for their support, help or protection! I’m tired of our tax dollars being given to people who do things that would send any of us who gave the money from our salaries to the electric chair!

  6. Must be nice that our government holds other presidents and government officials accountable instead of our own corruption right here at home

  7. Surely this must warrant the death penalty?

  8. Latin america deserves better. ENOUGH WITH THE NARCOS!!! and america is mostly to blame as well!!!!

  9. He live in wrong century, if this was 1800s he totally ok, look what fortunes the British built with opium money

  10. Dudes wife ain't gonna make it to old age.

  11. 😂😂 good luck dude . This my first time hearing about this case

  12. There is some irony here…

  13. Should have sold ugly sneakers, instead.😮

  14. Americans are the biggest hypocrites in the world.

  15. Laws and justice. No one is above the law.

  16. Don’t forget that he was a coup plotter in the 2009 coup that Hillary and Obama backed and when he ran for reelection (illegal under Honduras constitution) he “won” in 2017 and was congratulated and backed by the Trump administration and sec. Of state Mike Pompeo. Wonder why so many Hondurans started the mega caravans in 2018 and are at the U.S. Mexico border asking for asylum?
