Except it was the case. Her husband worked for the CIA and she was also employed in some capacity with the intelligence service. It is why I wrote diplomats spies and their families.
Perhaps morally it doesn't sit well but it is the law.
We can ask she returns but we cannot extradite her. Assange can legally be extradited.
The USA can choose to extradite her, she hasn't been accused of a crime carried out during her job. A traffic collision which there is no evidence of fabrication. They have always had it within their discretion to waive DI.
It would be a good diplomatic gesture by them to see she receives some punishment, even if it is a leniant slap on the wrist.
Unfortunately the USA is the bully boy of world affairs and we are happy to play the role of it's fag, going around collecting lunch money in the hope we get a few pennies.
Did the USA ever reimburse us for the bill we run up guarding the Ecuadorian Embassy? Probably not.
Don’t think they have paid the fines for parking tickets that diplomatic staff have run up, either.
