Sam Brownback, the U.S. Ambassador for International Religious Freedom, complained to the British ambassador in Washington D.C. about the treatment of an English right-wing activist who is in jail for disrupting a trial, according to three sources familiar with the discussion.

Brownback raised the case of the activist known as Tommy Robinson in a June meeting with Sir Kim Darroch, Britain's Ambassador to the United States, according to a British official and two sources close to the organizers of a pro-Robinson demonstration planned for London on Saturday.

Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, though he also uses other aliases, is a founder of the English Defense League, which has organized violent demonstrations against Islamic immigrants in the UK in the past decade. More recently, Robinson has branded himself a journalist and campaigner against Islamic extremism, a move that won him contacts with American anti-Muslim activists....

Were there people here who doubted he would? Unlike a Bush he listens to his base.

If Trump were half the fascist Hillary actually is, Mueller would have died in an unfortunate accident months ago.

...which has organized violent demonstrations against Islamic immigrants in the UK...

FAKE news! Total bold in your face lie! Robinson's marches were peaceful, they were attacked by Muzzies and even compromised law enforcement. That's where the violence was from!

I took the time to compile files on "Sucking Rapin Bill's Balls" Hosenball back during the impeachment wars.

That means that Hosenball is a DNC asslamprey.

#5. Mark Hosenball, now with Reuters, but formerly with Newsweek & Michael Isikoff (Dossiergate), was a partner with CIA turncoat/DGI-KGB asset Philip Agee in ENGLAND.

Both were thrown out of that country as security risks.

Hosenball has floated around the journalism world, and some of his writings were pretty good (accuracy is another question). However, he is one person I would never trust and his teaming up with Isikoff in the “ Destroy Trump” campaign raises more warning antennae than the old DEW Line ever had.

I've retrieved it.

"Sucking Rapin Bill's Balls" Hosenball did "Brokeback Newsweek" with "Spikey" Isikoff all throughout the impeachment wars.

"Why cain't we quit each other's Clinton-loving asses, Mark?"

Hosenball actually got a post on my Media list.

That means that he was a MEMORABLE Clintonite ass-sucker...

Fake news — he didn’t “disrupt the trial” — the defendants were leaving the courthouse after being convicted when Tommy was arrested.

From the article:
“Reuters was unable to determine why the top U.S. official responsible for defending religious freedom would try to intervene with the British government on behalf of an activist who has expressed ant-Islamic views.”

I think this might have something to do with it:

Seems that Robinson could legitimately claim asylum if he could only reach an American embassy. Hopefully, we will be able to apply sufficient pressure to cause Britain to let him out of prison.
