Zim

I won;t vote for anyone on the other side but I think this smells to high heaven and there has certainly been a lot of sonewalling going on. This woman, Sacooolas, was driving on the wrong side of the road and killed an innocent young man.

SO, because she is maried to an American diplomat she gets totally away with it and the mpther of the yopung man killed has to live with her son's death period.

Thereh as GOT to be something that can be done. This is absolutely and totally wrong....

I cannot believe a diplomat's family member is above the law and gets totally away with killing another person.

Are political people above the laws? Are they better than you or me?

Doesn't seem like much has been done by Sacolas to reach out to the mother of the deceased son of hers because mrs high andmighty was driving on wrong side of road. IF one does not know the way to drive in any country, for goodness do not drive and endanger other people because of your stupidity. and ignorance or perhaps under the influence????

This just SUCKS royally. I cannot vote for anyone on the left. I would not even thnk of it.
But, right now, I canot vote for someone who supports murdering an innocent young man in another country and uses this BS excuse about diplomatic immunity for this in order to let this woman off the hook....

So TRUMP has made her above the Law.. Must be why CLintonis above the law and every other person who attempted a coup. Above the law.....

LAWS for THEE but not for me....... where have I head that before?

TRUMP needs to figure out how to serve Justice in this case and make restitution to this MOTHER in England whose son was killed by a wrong way driver who had no business behind the wheel of a 3000 pound plus piece of steel that was motorized and dangerous to others.....

She killed him and is getting away withit.

No consequences for her actions.. and Trump so far is going to keep it that way.

We'll see. Ifit doesn;t come to some resolution that helps this poor mother who lost her son, Trump can forget about my vote and about ten others.

Thatwould make him no better in my view than any of the nasty people we have discussed here on the other side of the aisle.

Politicians and diplomats are NOT BETTER than us and are not above the law either. If Trump thinks so, then we have a major disagreement and unfortunately there are o other real choices to vote for so I will not vote and neither will my family for Trump or anyone for President.

NONE of them have the moral integrity or character to be a President imo...

SO, I am not switching parties Zim. Just firmly believe that this is a miscarriage of justice and needs to be addressed and things made right for this poor mother in England who is getting the green weenie from the United States and it ain't right....

Somehow this does not sound like you Boss.

This does smell like the pfffarters - any excuse to castigate President Trump.
Finding all the right words and ways to phrase it such that folks will get
all upset and refuse to vote for Trump.

As has already been said . . . Think about what happens if the 'other guy'
gets into the White House.

In the meantime, try collecting facts in this matter. And read between the
lines a little.

U.S. won't extradite diplomat's wife who killed British teen in wrong-way crash
The State Department said extraditing Anne Sacoolas, who was covered by diplomatic immunity, would set a troubling precedent.

The U.S. government has declined a request to extradite a U.S. diplomat's wife who killed a 19-year-old motorcyclist while driving on the wrong side of the road in England, a State Department official said.

Anne Sacoolas, 42, returned to the United States three weeks after the crash that killed the motorcyclist, Harry Dunn, in August near RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire, which is home to a U.S. Air Force communications station.

The U.S. State Department has said Sacoolas, the wife of a U.S. diplomat , cannot be extradited because she is covered by diplomatic immunity.

"If the United States were to grant the U.K.'s extradition request, it would render the invocation of diplomatic immunity a practical nullity and would set an extraordinarily troubling precedent," a spokesperson for the State Department said Thursday.

"The United States government again expresses its sincere condolences and sympathy to the Dunn family for the loss of their son," the spokesperson said.

Sacoolas has been charged in the United Kingdom with causing death by dangerous driving. She has said she cooperated with authorities at the scene and at her home, and she later expressed her "deepest sympathies and apologies for this tragic accident" to Dunn's parents.

Dunn's family welcomed the criminal charge when it was announced in December.

"We feel that we've taken a huge step in the start of achieving the promise to Harry that we made," said his mother, Charlotte Charles.

Charles said then that the family assumed it would be easy to get justice considering the circumstances but that "we had no idea it was going to be this hard and it would take this long."

Dunn's family, which has been campaigning for Sacoolas to face justice, traveled to Washington to make their case. They met President Donald Trump in October and were given what they called a "bombshell" offer to meet Sacoolas in the White House, which they declined.

Amy Jeffress, an attorney for Sacoolas, has previously said Sacoolas would not return voluntarily to face a potential jail sentence in the "terrible but unintentional accident."

"A potential penalty of 14 years imprisonment is simply not a proportionate response," Jeffress said in a statement at the time. "We have been in contact with the U.K. authorities about ways in which Anne could assist with preventing accidents like this from happening in the future, as well as her desire to honor Harry's memory."

In January, when the United Kingdom formally demanded that Sacoolas be extradited, Jeffress said that "Anne is devastated by this tragic accident and would do anything she could to bring Harry back" but that the U.S. government had made it clear that any extradition request would be denied.
