@fj if you make a deal with the devil as long as he spares your friends, you still made a deal with the devil. You tell him no or you’ve given him an unequivocal yes.

@fj for the first time in history, it would appear that the brits are actually not at it again!

I guess that's one benefit of having a Prime Minister who was Director of Public Prosecutions, Head of the Crown Prosecution Service and received a knighthood for his services to law and criminal justice.

Huge if true, and I mean that unironically. It's pretty surprising any time the UK government declines to do something evil the US wants.

Why would anyone share intelligence with the USA right now? That's insane.

@fj Is there anyone who actually thinks that this is legal? Obviously team impunity doesn't care; getting away with it is half the fun; but I've not seen even a shred of a suggestion of actual legal basis.
