If the Trump admin turns Gulen over to Turkey, as Flynn tried to get a bribe to do,

then Trump and everyone involved in that decision should be subject to Magnitsky sanctions by every country which has passed a Magnitsky act. Say goodbye to your Scottish golf courses, Dotard.

A clearly bogus extradition to a regime which openly commits human rights abuses against political opponents is conspiracy to commit murder -- and doing so in order to purchase a partial cover-up of a different conspiracy to commit murder is outrageous beyond description.

No dissident or anyone with sensitive info we may want to have will give it to us if we don't keep our promises to safeguard dissidents legally living in our country.

This is insane.

Could cost him a WHOLE LOTTA $$$ ...

POTUS' personal business deals, you understand, come way before the silly concept of health and safety of THE NATION he's sworn to protect and serve.

And that's assuming he even knows what our national interests are.
