The Swiss were not de-Nazified after WWII, and even today they prefer their rapists and mad-dog killers straight up.
Probably best to not visit there.

Why did we even bother...?
We should just be grateful to our Dear Leader that we are becomming more and more like europe and accept this turn of events!

Obama and Holder’s payback to Switzerland for their agreement to turn over the UBS account holder names to the IRS. The fix was in.

But in this particular instance Roman Polanski knew she was 13 years old and, when she declined his entreaties, drugged her with champagne and a Quaalude and then sodomized her. Twice. Which, even on the Whoopi scale, sounds less like rape, or even rape-rape, and more like rape-rape-rape-rape. --

“The Swiss mostly blamed U.S. authorities for failing”
This is the consistent theme of this administration. Total failure.

Well, if the US didn’t provide the evidence requested by the Swiss to proceed with the extradition, then why should anyone be surprised that they will not do it?

In honor of the left's penchant for knee-jerk boycotts, it's appropriate to consider such in this case. Toward that end, the following companies are Swiss-based.
Glencore
Nestlé
Novartis
Hoffmann-La Roche
ABB
Adecco
UBS
Zurich Financial Services
Credit Suisse
Swiss Re The Swatch Group.

Polanski later said “The judge was just jealous cuz he, and every man, wants to rape 13 year old and I did it but he did not.”
Polanski then went on to live with and st. rape a 15 years old actress in Paris.
And yet another actress has come forward recently with the same story.
But ...
when you are rich and one of the Hollyweird in-crowd, it’s OK.
Believe me, I lived there, I know this.

It was a prearranged deal between Obama and the Swiss govt.
If Switzerland released the UBS account holder names to the IRS, the Holder would drop the Polanski matter.
If Switzerland didn’t release the UBS names, Holder would provide the evidence they were requesting.
Obama got the UBS names. And the Swiss got to keep Polanski.

You are correct. That is to hold someone without evidence. The fix was not in Switzerland.

The fix was in between Obama and the Swiss. The requested Polanski evidence was a bargaining chip in the UBS negotiations. It was not turned over by Holder on purpose because the UBS account information was turned over to the IRS a couple weeks ago.
