    Trump can’t really do anything. It’s a UK warrant backed by an extradition treaty between the US and UK signed Congress. Pardon inapplicable. Now, his soft power and influence may bring influence to bear, but he’s limited by his actual authority to do anything.

      That first sentence, that hasn’t stopped all the other illegal shit they are getting away with. And let’s not forget who the governor of Florida is as well.

        I agree. Sure, legally Trump’s hands are tied, technically. But in actuality, these guys are physically in the US, so Trump can do basically whatever he wants. So it violates a treaty… so what? Is the UK going to go to war over that, or even nullify the treaty? Doubtful.
