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.

If China can have a president-for-life why can we not have Trump for lifelong president?
We need him in this dangerous world or the RATS may come up with another Hussein O.
“Bolton should have told them if they arrest Americans “come and get em”. “
That is basically what he said .... AND MUCH MORE!
“We will crush our enemies, see them driven before us, and hear lamentations of their women.”
If not for term limits Bill Clinton would probably be on his 7th term right now.
Don’t we also have an ISIS office also known as CAIR?
YIPPEE!
the ICC needs to be shut down ASAP, its a grave danger
He was such a promising president in 2000.
No god-damned way would any true patriot support that. We held elections during the Civil War and we will continue to hold elections no matter what.
With all the $$$$ we contribute why haven’t we had an American secretary general?
What are you going to do now bitches? It's long past the time we explained the facts of life to those arrogant stupid bastards that think they can intimidate us with their pompousness.
Way before President Trump's campaign, I suggested Bolton for President- in more than one campaign- Didn't get very much agreement, good bit of disagreement. Any NRA Board member deserves a consideration. (Ted Nugent would be a hoot!)
Yes,

The editors of the Guardian tried to arrest Dick Cheney in London...physically. Dick Cheney challenged these clowns to fight and the leftard pukes backed down.
Thanks Artemis Webb.

We need more term limits, not fewer. Furthermore, we need Congressmen and Senators who have a life before politics, and will have one after politics.Their compensation should reflect the fact that they are interrupting their lives to serve in DC. They need to maintain their home-state residences and have a house in DC.
Quiet. They’ll make the next SG zerobama.

Now we see some very visible benefit from Ted Cruz’ actions as solicitor General in Texas.
Thanks to his successful work (to W’s chagrin) US citizens are not subject to the world courts.
