Checking whether an arrest warrant from the international criminal court is enough justification to arrest someone domestically isn’t the same as just attempting to arrest a normal civilian, and you know it.
There’s nothing to check. Everyone knows the US isn’t a signatory to the ICC. What possible justification could there be to even look into?
Plus from my recollection he was pretty adamant about out. It wasn’t like “I doubt it’s possible but I’m going to turn over every legal stone just in case.” It was something he campaigned on doing.
I mean you’d have to be extremely stupid to think it’s legal to just arrest people without any domestic legal justification. Did he really not know?
