The tweet:

Michael McFaul Retweeted Rick Petree

TASS-- an official agency of the Russian government-- has stated that the Russian authorities are seeking to arrest several US government officials in connection with alleged Browder money laundering scheme to help Clinton campaign. Sorry, but that is a very serious accusation.

Why would President Trump rule out extradition? Or rendition, for that matter.

We’re building bridges here.

Mueller expects the 12 Russian episode to go nowhere because of a lack of a extradition treaty. Trump and Putin could fix this, by drafting and signing a treaty rather quickly. Whether this happens or not....unknown. The other factor....if they did sign such a treaty, then you have to put it in front of the Senate. They would have to approve it. This might also prove to be a problem in getting it past them.

McFaul is the chief architect of Obama’s “reset” policy with Russia, a policy that diagnosed Vladimir Putin not as a dangerous foe of the U.S. but as a misunderstood statesman who had been alienated by Republican policies inspired by Ronald Reagan. -— pj media

Team Mueller did not think their strategy through, and so, they opened another yuuge bucket of worms - I expect it to backfire BIGLY...

Sorry, but that is a very serious accusation. Any Obama appointees or career Deep Staters, could be turned over or have their day in federal court here. They might get a better jury in Russia, is this turns into a Special Prosecutor thing with a grand jury.

Many are criticizing Rosenweasel for the timing of the announcement, and if the indictment package had any validity, it would never have been unsealed. Rumor has it that Trump set the timing of the Rosenweasel announcement of the “Twelve Russians” for some kind of strategic positioning in the run up to the Pooty-Poot summit. Stable genius?

From the article:

McFaul and his MSM allies are apoplectic (to the point of using the F-word in a Daily Beast headline) that president Trump has not ruled out extradition.

This places McFaul and the Trump-haters in the position of arguing that no rational leader would extradite his own country's foreign policy and intelligence officers. This means that Meuller's indictment was ridiculous.

If the 12 know there is no evidence against them, what is the likelihood that they (or any one of them) would challenge the indictment in US court?

This is also the same bunch that wants to question the interpreter at the recent meeting between PDJT and Putin.

Rosenstein should be charged with sedition. From a website called Truthdig....

“It is the president’s sole prerogative to formulate and implement foreign and national security policy on behalf of the American people. While his political critics are free to criticize this policy, they cannot undermine it without running afoul of sedition laws.

“Rosenstein, by the timing and content of the indictment he publicly released Friday, committed an act that undermined the president of the United States’ ability to conduct critical affairs of state—in this case, a summit with a foreign leader the outcome of which could impact global nuclear nonproliferation policy. The hue and cry among the president’s political foes for him to cancel the summit with Putin—or, failing that, to use the summit to confront the Russian leader with the indictment—is a direct result of Rosenstein’s decision to release the Mueller indictment when he did and how he did. Through its content, the indictment was designed to shape public opinion against Russia.”

I don't mind being accused of having a rampant case of "Yeah-But-Ism", but if this is agreed upon (exchange citizens for prosecution on the opposite country), where does/should it stop? Or, should we prosecute our own under obvious laws broken?

Hillary foreign donors
Hillary/DNC piping oppo-research expenses through Perkins-Coie
Barry using our money to impede Bibi's election
Barry interfering with Brexit vote and threatening the UK
Barry colluding with Iran, cash payments, hostage-ransom payments
Barry swapping 5 MB warriors out of Gitmo in exchange for traitor Bird-Brain-Doll
UraniumOne

Where does it stop? Let's start with prosecuting our own with our own laws and our own courts before coughing up citizens to a foreign justice system.

I remain hopeful that enough people are seeing through the games being played by Mueller and Rosenstein.

I’d like to see Trump turn over George Soros to either the Russians or Hungarians. Soros is the #1 meddler in elections worldwide.

His response has been to delay and obfuscate, quite shamefully (dumping 4 terabytes of untranslated Russian documents in response to discovery requirements), and then pass off the prosecution to “outside prosecutors” so that his team can escape accountability for their phony indictment.
>

How does this get entered as ‘evidence’? Let alone grounds for indictment?

Unless it’s some kangaroo court (I wouldn’t doubt), how could ANY ruling be valid?
