Ex-Klingon officer facing jail in Italy hung out to dry, claims Clinton, DoS ignored her pleas
2016-06-17
[FOX] A former CIA officer and diplomat who has repeatedly denied playing a role in one of the most notorious U.S. counterterrorism programs is set to become the only American held accountable for it -- and claims the Obama administration has abandoned her.

Sabrina De Sousa, who is stuck in Portugal and awaiting extradition to Italy over her alleged role in the rendition of a terror suspect years ago, claims the State Department has ignored repeated requests to intervene on her behalf. She and her lawyers are particularly critical of Hillary Clinton, who still has not commented on the case.
Shouldn't have stayed in Portugal...
Mark S. Zaid, an attorney who previously worked with De Sousa, told FoxNews.com his firm made "multiple efforts" to reach out to the State Department -- specifically then-Secretary of State Clinton -- and that "every time we were completely rebuffed with silence."

He said one of his letters was even "deceptively" classified "to limit my ability to create a public furor over how Sabrina had been and continues to be mistreated."

De Sousa, a naturalized American from India, was arrested in Portugal last October and earlier this month lost her latest court bid to halt her extradition to Italy. She faces four years in prison there over her alleged role in the rendition of a suspected terrorist 13 years ago.
Skipping down a few paras
De Sousa believes Clinton could still do the right thing.
If she were working out of the U.S. Embassy as an intelligence officer she would have been working in "Official Cover" and as such she would have enjoyed "Diplomatic immunity" and exemption from legal charges or prosecution of alleged host nation crimes. Not sure what exactly is taking place here.
Sacrificial goats must be sacrificed. Theirs is not to quesiton why, etc.

#3  She's apparently not as "desirable" as Huma. Maybe some selfies will help?

#2  The Prime Minister of Italy is deeply involved with the Clinton Foundation. Influence pedaling for a price ranks higher than the State Department which Hillary used as a front.

Just like in Benghazi, State Department staff are expendable. Clinton cash is priority with dirty Hillary.
