De
I never said I was voting for a democrat. I just won't vote for Trump. I think I can apply enough busines lessons and economics so that Iwill write myself in and vote for me for President. At least I am honest and not a scumbag or on cahoots with people I should not be nor ever have been.

Re: "Is this not the case to which we are referring? "I think so. The next question, I guess, is What Does The Law Say About Diplomatic Immunity? Are Americans who commit crimes abroad immune to prosecution, or is it up to the State Department to decide on a case by case basis?

I will say this: Some years ago (1997), a diplomat from the Republic of Georgia killed a Maryland teenager while driving drunk. Although he had immunity, Georgia waived it so that the U.S. was able to prosecute. He was convicted and sentenced to 7 to 21 years. In 2000, he was repatriated to Georgia. In 2002, he was released.

It seems to me that the circumstances were very similar - except, of course, that driving on the wrong side of the road (in England) is obviously an accident while the Georgia diplomat was drunk.

Still, it looks like a precedent for waiving immunity exists and the U.S. has previously benefited from it. Fair is fair....

I don't think I would use this as an excuse to vote for a Democrat, though!!!! Their policies are many, many, MANY times worse than Trump's.
