Your welcome! Now go get some rest!
“You’re”. Perhaps it’s you that needs a nap.
Nope! It’s noon time here! Nice try though grammar nazi!
It’s probably unlikely that we will extradite him to the US. High Court judges will have to deem his wrongdoing under UK law and he may be protected under the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998.

Truth is ALWAYS an issue with the left !!!
Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
Then pardon.
It makes sense.
The warrant is valid and under our extradition treaty they have no choice but to honor it.
I don’t believe there’s any chance of that. Trump won’t pardon him and the next democrat would rather see him burnt at the stake for screwing over Hillary.
Gary McKinnon – extradition blocked on 16 October 2012 by order of Home Secretary Theresa May, on the grounds that “Mr McKinnon’s extradition would give rise to such a high risk of him ending his life that a decision to extradite would be incompatible with Mr McKinnon’s human rights.”
Folks always misunderstand that it is a request to extradite. The country holding the individual in question has every right to accept or refuse.

And countries are bound by the treaties they sign.
extradition
the surrender of a person by one state to another. For extradition to be possible there must be an extradition treaty between the UK and the state requiring the surrender. The offence alleged to be committed by the person whose surrender is required must be an offence in the UK as well as in the requesting state; it must be covered by the treaty and be within the list of extraditable offences contained in the legislation and it must not be of a political nature.

And that’s not true. The administration could have chosen to enforce the treaty but they chose not to because of the politics involved.
She had no legal basis under the treaty for the objection and it would not have been sustained.
That is one hell of a crystal ball you got there.

I don’t need a crystal ball, all I need is a familiarity with the treaty and the extradition request.
He was not a political prisoner, the indictment had nothing to do with politics. Nothing about the case was related to politics in any way.
