The United States threatened Monday to arrest and sanction judges and other officials of the International Criminal Court if it moves to charge any American who served in Afghanistan with war crimes.
White House National Security Advisor John Bolton called the Hague-based rights body "unaccountable" and "outright dangerous" to the United States, Israel and other allies, and said any probe of US service members would be "an utterly unfounded, unjustifiable investigation."
"If the court comes after us, Israel or other US allies, we will not sit quietly," Bolton said.
He said the US was prepared to slap financial sanctions and criminal charges on officials of the court if they proceed against any Americans.
"We will ban its judges and prosecutors from entering the United States. We will sanction their funds in the US financial system, and we will prosecute them in the US criminal system," he said.
"We will do the same for any company or state that assists an ICC investigation of Americans," he said.
Bolton made the comments in a speech in Washington to the Federalist Society, a powerful association of legal conservatives.

Boom yeow! Watch the panzies scatter!
“And we’ll take your women,” added Ambassador Bolton as he was surveying the press corps.
The ICC is simply an arm of the One World Order Radicals. They think by shooting off accusations they can usurp the SOVEREIGNTY of the United States of America. They are in for a staggering surprise if they attempt any move whatsoever against an American. Obama isn’t here anymore. There is a new sheriff in town.
Send them Obama and Hillary, real war criminals.
“”We will ban its judges and prosecutors from entering the United States. We will sanction their funds in the US financial system, and we will prosecute them in the US criminal system,” he said.”

Yet there were Freepers who doubted Bolton’s man brand because he was associated with Dubya..
That was probably the plan if Hillary had won.
Get some Kangaroo Court convictions of US Servicemen.
Then nobody would volunteer for the US Military.
Trump monkeywrenches ‘em again.
Bolton should have told them if they arrest Americans “come and get em”. The ICC is just a make-believe fantasy just like Mueller’s investigations...
Damn! This is the kind of indominable leadership we need.
I still remember he was one of the few voices aside from Rumsfeld who originally wanted to kick out the UN permanently from US shores. Rumsfeld hated the CIA and FBI and wanted his own army of Spec Ops operating away from those 2..
That's what working for a true leader will do for you. People will walk through fire for Trump.
More feel good news of the day! Also the PLO office is closed in DC.

Time to pull out. ICC, UN. The whole filthy bunch. And kick the UN off American soil.
I remember how shocked I was when I learned during the Obama regime that GW Bush would have been arrested if they caught him outside of the US for war crimes.
Go get ‘em Sec. Walrus Mustache.
It’s called sovereignty for a reason.
The ICC was a bad idea from it’s inception. It’s a time bomb waiting to go off.
Is the ICC investigating anyone from ISIS? They now collect welfare and freely walk the streets of London.
