Impeachment.

"But a myriad of questions remain about President Obama’s action, and their answers can only be speculated at this time."

"What potential intelligence gathering techniques might a group of law enforcement agents use, when provided the latitude to investigate anything under the cover of INTERPOL’s immunity from Constitutional restraints?"

"Could a President who believes the Constitution reflects “the fundamental flaw of this country” potentially hide unconstitutional activities carried out by DOJ or Homeland Security agents within INTERPOL activities?"

"Will political associates of the President hold dual positions with INTERPOL?"

"If the future proves the answers to these questions true, what might history call this agency? For Hitler, it was the Gestapo. For Stalin, the CHEKA."

Don’t EOs state near the top that what the Executive is about to order is empowered BY THE CONSTITUTION?

If that’s true, then in this case Obama is saying he is empowered by the Constitution to allow the violation of the Constitution.

WOW.

Agents operating under diplomatic immunity can commit murder. In 1984, a Libyan diplomat sprayed several protesters with a submachine gun from a window of the Libyan embassy in London, and killed policewoman Yvonne Fletcher. He got off scot-free.

Every time I think of diplomats, I'm reminded of her.

What potential intelligence gathering techniques might a group of law enforcement agents use, when provided the latitude to investigate anything under the cover of INTERPOL’s immunity from Constitutional restraints? Could a President who believes the Constitution reflects “the fundamental flaw of this country” potentially hide unconstitutional activities carried out by DOJ or Homeland Security agents within INTERPOL activities? Will political associates of the President hold dual positions with INTERPOL? If the future proves the answers to these questions true, what might history call this agency? For Hitler, it was the Gestapo. For Stalin, the CHEKA.

The above is the money quote. Potentially, the objective is not to immunize foreign INTERPOL agents from US law, but to immunize US LEO's from US law and the Constitution if they are working with INTERPOL.

I can’t believe there isn’t more comment on this thread! This is not a good thing with Interpol. There is a something that they want to be able to keep hidden.
