#1 There are going to be serious repercussions from this incident. President Trump is getting tired of Germany’s F.Y. Behavior. Some ally.

#2 Paul hope you are right.

Would rather we deported Keith Ellison to Turkey. Or the Antarctic.

#3 They could have gotten him had they dropped the charges he had already been convicted of. But they didn't, because they like being assholes. It's more like a "fuck you" to Germany. Force them to violate their own laws? Who does that?

Oh, right, US government officials drunk on their own power. The same way they launch coups in other nations.

#4 "Germany’s F.Y. Behavior"

Well no. Germany's politicians would have gladly shipped that guy to the U.S. A Frankfurt court said no because the U.S. would not drop charges he was already convicted for. Blame yourself, really, not German courts which followed the law.

#5 And no guarantee he wouldn't have pulled an 0bumhole judge.

#6 (a) Germans are not your friends, never were, never will be.
(b) This time around, they have a valid argument - fix your own judicial activism first.
(c) Tell Recep, in private, you want the mook's head.

#7 Blame yourself, really, not German courts which followed the law.

Yes, surely then we must 'blame' ourselves. The German courts were simply following orders the law.

#9 The time when German courts were following orders and not the law is not something you want to see again.

The extradition request is from 2017, and the U.S. authorities were fully aware of the fact that extradition without guarantees of no double jeopardy was a no go (the other no go is the death penalty). The U.S. Department of Justice sat on its hands. This issue could have been easily resolved in time. The charges that haven't been tried yet are so serious that the result - life without parole if proven guilty - would have been guaranteed.

The German court in Frankfurt had no choice.

#10 It does sound like our people screwed up. I suppose the next steps are to list the gentleman with Interpol and send an extradition request to Turkey.

#11 Or a helpful soul could send a Gülen book he supposedly left behind in his cell to his new address.

#13 With all the apologies if this was done in error, of course.
