"Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) voiced very grave concern about the continued U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug boats off the coast of Venezuela because those on board are being put to death without any criminal prosecution. Turner told ABC News's Martha Raddatz on Sunday that he has not seen the tape of the so-called double-tap strike after two survivors were seen clinging to the boat, but expects to see the video next week."
"But I want you to comment on the pardon, Raddatz interrupted. Well, on the pardon itself, here's an individual who was subject to criminal prosecution and then released. These individuals, even if they were subject to criminal prosecution, there's no capital punishment for drug trafficking. These individuals, because they're being subject to military actions, are being put to death. they can't be subject later to another administration"
Rep. Mike Turner expressed grave concern over U.S. airstrikes on alleged drug boats off Venezuela, emphasizing that individuals aboard are being killed without criminal prosecution. He said he had not yet seen video of a reported double-tap strike but expected to review it. He contrasted the strikes with President Trump's pardon of former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, who had been convicted and sentenced to 45 years for major drug trafficking. Turner noted that pardoned individuals had been through criminal prosecution, while those killed by military action cannot later be reviewed or pardoned by another administration. He described serious concerns about the pardon.
