Biden 'sympathetic' over Harry Dunn case
BBC ^ | June 11 | BBC

Posted on 06/11/2021 2:05:10 AM PDT by RandFan

One topic that came up between the leaders of the US and UK yesterday was the ongoing issues surrounding the death of Harry Dunn.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson says he and President Biden are "working together" to end the row over whether Anne Sacoolas should face trial over the death of 19-year-old Harry Dunn.

Sacoolas, an American citizen, claimed diplomatic immunity after the teenager died in a collision with her car almost two years ago.

Speaking at the G7, Johnson said the president was "extremely sympathetic" and "actively engaged" in the case.

The confirmation of talks comes after Biden's predecessor Donald Trump refused to intervene.

Crucially, it will raise hopes for the Dunn family that Ms Sacoolas could still be stripped of diplomatic immunity in order to face a British court over the death.

The prime minister says his counterpart has his “own personal reasons for feeling very deeply about the issue”.

Biden lost his first wife, Neilia Hunter, and their one-year-old daughter Naomi in a car crash in 1972.

BiteMe better be very careful or someone might start to look into the circumstances of his first wife’s death.

That’s a bit close for comfort. The resort isn’t far from there

Trump did not get involved. And Joe shouldn’t either. A kid died for cripes sakes. Diplomatic Immunity gets you a “Get out of Jail” card?

Let me guess - the Queen needs comforting because the American “experiment” 245 years later is a failure? All that blood shed by His Majesty’s armies starting in 1776...

There’s likely more to this than the public is being told.

I wouldn’t trust either Deep State to have told us the truth about the case.

Your 2nd sentence seems to contradict the first.

The House of Windsor needs its frickin’ head examined.

I would let any of its members near anyone at that so-called summit.

No much for the UK’s national security services. They are as compromised as ours are.

I’ve been following the case.

The only thing I’m certain of is that neither country’s Deep State is interested in justice.

I have no use for Biden but I have found two things I agree with him on: 1) the withdrawal from Afghanistan, although I don’t like him delaying it to spite Trump; and, 2) the hopeful extradition of this woman back to England. As I understand it, she hit a young man either walking or biking on a road there, claimed Deep State “diplomatic immunity” and was thus able to return to the US. Sorry, she is NOT above the law just bc she worked for CIA, she is NOT John Brennan. If you or I done this, we would have to stand trial in England over it, there should be NO difference in treatment.

BiteMe isnt withdrawing anybody from anything, and I seriously doubt Deep State will.

As for justice for that young man and the alleged perp, I don’t trust either Deep State to seek it.

And then there’s this...

Biden has no sympathy for anyone. Just ask the parents and family members of the men who died at Benghazi. They said he was stone cold to them when the bodies returned.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day and that’s all I’ve found about the senile boob and the “doctor” that I can agree with.
