Seeing as how soooo many State Department employs are of the degenerate class, why not just let them be slaughtered. We can retaliate, if wanted, then hire clean and patriotic replacements.

You can’t be diplomat AND commit crimes
Unless you mean that total immunity is a requirement so that you cannot be FALSELY accused of crimes.
But I submit that there should be some agreement where a country must provide proof of actual criminal behavior to the diplomats country, and if they are guilty they should be held liable.
Proving a crime is not always easy as you well know. When you level charges against an enemy, they are not going to buy the "evidence" even if it is caught on camera. They are going to say the video was created, even if they do not believe their own claims. It would become an issue where sides are declared and it would become subject to political theater much like it is between our 2 political parties. For example: Clinton is without doubt guilty of mishandling classified materials, yet the Democrats deny it and the press support that contention.
As for being a diplomat and committing crimes, of course they can and they do it all the time. Do you mean that with diplomatic immunity you cannot be charged for a crime? That of course is also true. My point was, that the moment you start charging a diplomat, there are going to be charges leveled all over the place even when no crime had been committed. The best thing, in my opinion, is to sever diplomatic ties with the country and demand their entire contingency go home.
In fact I wouldn't object if we did that with 90% of our embassies and demand the same of a majority of countries to leave their embassies in this country. I don't think they make the world any safer, or bring countries closer together.
