Scrap the ICC and all international governance efforts like the UN.

This is almost as funny as Iran issuing an arrest warrant for President Trump.

He first appeared in the Haditha marines case supposedly on their side... I suspect that was a foiled setup for trying to use that case to open the doors for the ICC ...then he appears in the Vindman /Ukraine case .

And most recently he appears in the case of the 51 former intel officials’ letter where they downplayed Hunter Biden’s laptop.
