#1 I can't tell what is going on here...

At first it looked like another wrong-headed move by the Oh Admin against our British allies. But a closer reading makes me wonder if the Brits didn't effectively 'beg' the administration to write this to shore up the original High Court ruling.

What can't be contested is that this is more 'lawfare' against US foreign policies, and that the Oh is seen as a weak link.

#3 The U.S. actions viewed as a whole seem aimed at preventing accountability in either the United States or in Europe for the past administration's crimes

I should be used to these "people" by now.
