Galonski, who served as a magistrate in the Summit County Court in Ohio (common pleas & juvenile) is threatening to refer @realDonaldTrump to ICC for humanity violations for mentioning hydroxychloroquine during a presser after the drug has been approved by the FDA. https://twitter.com/repgalonski/status/1246981735876870144

What Galonski is referring to is the International Criminal Court in Hague located in the Netherlands and was created to investigate & try individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community. Will refer to the court as ICC for the thread.

As a lawyer and a United States Rep, Galonski should know that in 2002, the UN Secretary was advised by @AmbJohnBolton that the United States had no intentions of being a party of tv Rome Statue of the ICC. That stance has not changed.

One month later, April 12, 2019, the ICC chamber of judges established: “and investigation into the situation in Afghanistan at this stage would not serve the interest of justice...” the court rejected the request.

March 5, 2020, ICC Appeals Chamber rendered a decision to open an investigation into Afghanistan. However, the chamber used language that will allow the pre-trial chamber to accept deferrals from Afghanistan & are only required to assess.

@SecPompeo has made it very clear that the “United States is not a party to the ICC, and will take all necessary measurements to protect our citizens from this renegade, so-called court”

Imagine that letter regarding @realDonaldTrump

Galonski has every right to submit a complaint. Many have tried and failed. The Court does not have jurisdiction over the United States. Secretary Pompeo will not participate nor cooperate.

Another dem wasting time which equals a waste of tax payer money.
