Is Hillary Clinton Trying to Create Safe Extradition Harbor in Northern Ireland?
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 01/02/2020 8:23:22 AM PST by EyesOfTX

News broke on Thursday morning that the Pantsuit Princess has accepted a post as the new Chancellor at Queen’s University in Belfast, Northern Ireland:

Emerald Robinson ✝️ ✔ @EmeraldRobinson Hillary Clinton is going to be the head of a university in Northern Ireland?

That's an interesting choice.

Discuss.https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-northern-ireland-50970400 …

Hillary Clinton Hillary Clinton is new chancellor of NI university The former US presidential candidate takes up five-year role with Queen's University, Belfast.

bbc.com 241 9:29 AM - Jan 2, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 315 people are talking about this The post is largely ceremonial, according to the BBC, but will require the Fainting Felon to spent quite a bit of her time in Northern Ireland, which is an interesting place for her to find periodic refuge. While the United States does have an extradition treaty in place with the United Kingdom, that treaty contains some very interesting language related to those who might be ruled exempt from being extradited back to their home country for trial.

Specifically, I refer you to the following language contained in Article 4 of that extradition treaty:

Article 4(3) requires that, notwithstanding the terms of paragraph 2, extradition shall not be granted if the competent authority of the Requested State determines that the request is politically motivated. In the United States, the executive branch is the competent authority for the purposes of the Article. Under the 1985 supplementary treaty, the judicial branch has the authority to consider whether an extradition request is motivated by a desire to punish the person sought on account of race, religion, nationality, or political opinions, or if the person sought would be subject to unfair treatment in UK courts or prisons after extradition. Like all other modern extradition treaties, the new Treaty grants the executive branch rather than the judiciary the authority to determine whether a request is politically motivated. Article 4(4) provides that the competent authority of the Requested State may also refuse extradition for offenses under military law that are not offenses under ordinary criminal law (e.g., desertion). In the United States, the executive branch is the competent authority for the purposes of the Article. Now, everyone should be aware by now that any effort to prosecute the Coughing Crook or any other major Democrat figure for all their myriad crimes during the Obama years will be met with a coordinated Democrat/Media/deep state narrative that it is entirely politically motivated. We have in fact already been treated to a long-running preview of that tactic related to the clear shakedown operation run by Joe Biden and his ne’er-do-well son Hunter vis-a-vis the Ukraine.

Thus, the language contained in Article 4 relating to “politically motivated” prosecutions becomes quite concerning in this context.

This is all speculation, of course, but the activities of John Durham and William Barr of late have to be quite disconcerting to the Grasping Grifter and her hubby Bill. Accepting this position right in the midst of ongoing speculation that she has plans to jump into the Democrat presidential nominating contest at some point seems an especially odd decision. This post would have zero relevance to her chances of ultimately gaining the Party’s nomination, and indeed could end up being a hindrance if its duties were to interfere with her political ambitions.

So, either the Hacking Hag has decided to disband her life-long ambition to become president, or there is some other motivation involved in her acceptance of this position. With the Clintons, nothing is ever really simple, or what it seems to be on the surface.

That is all.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ indeed!

She would’ve had to give millions to the institution for them to have given her a make-believe-she-is-working-sit-on-her-ass “job”.

I agree with the premise that it is a get-out-of-Dodge move

I’ve been saying for months that if I were one of these folks, I’d be leaving the country. This is smart.

On a quasi-related note, does the USA have an extradition treaty with Kenya?

What is it with politicians that they drag everything out!

Perhaps because they are all guilty. Would love to see a drawn out Senate trial where scum like Biden's and Pelosi's kid get grilled, but then that could draw scrutiny to more scum like McConnell and Graham.

Sounds more like a contingency plan rather than a sure thing.

On the bright side, this may indicate that insiders think the Barr/Durham thing may have some teeth to it.

Let her leave. Confiscate all her money then cancel her passport so she can’t get back.

I like this guy’s posts, I read them everyday but this is nothing more than just a fun mental exercise.

Hillary has an unwavering belief in her immunity from prosecution and retribution for her crimes. Also as a genuine psychopath she doesn’t believe she’s done anything wrong anyway because she is a superior human being.

On the part about her immunity from prosecution and retribution, I think she’s most likely correct. But not because she’s a superior human being but because the entire Democratic Party is a cesspool of third world corruption.

Uh, Hillary doesn't need a job in order to travel to the UK.

If she decides to flee I don't think a ceremonial appointment is going to have any bearing either way.

What does the job pay? We know contributions to the grifter’s foundations are down. Maybe it’s just about the money.
