KHAN!!!! ICC Chief Prosecutor Suspended for Allegedly Going Where No Man Has Gone Before

Awwww, the ICC has a background and a podium and serious faces, almost like they’re a real boy https://t.co/HbuUzpBiqY

At the time, Israel naturally exploded - I mean, the ICC statement was so blatantly biased it even mysteriously elevated 'Palestine' to a state and demoted Israel to a territory - and Netanyahu expected some help out of POTATUS over the matter.

What he got from Biden was a 'How dare they equate Hamas and Israel?!' sputter, and that was the sum of it.

NEW statement from President Biden, slamming the ICC:

"The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will…

No sanctions for the obvious targeting, no harsher language, no threats of further action.

Bibi was bummed, and the Republicans in Congress were incensed at the administration's lack of vigorous pushback. There were also suspicions that Merrick Garland's creepy attack dog, Jack Smith, had something to do with the muted response, as he had once been the ICC's director of investigations.

(There's an 'A HA!' moment for you with that creepster, huh?)

 Mike Johnson spoke out, saying the decision not to sanction the court 'set a dangerous precedent,' and a dozen Republican senators sent the court their own sternly worded, 'Who the HELL do you think you are?!' back the flock off letter.

This made bucket-headed Chief Prosecutor Khan, whose oversized good opinion of himself is only matched by the size of his gourd, very angry.

 He issued an official response threatening, 'I'll be adding a dozen US senators to my naughty arrest them list if they keep up the smack talk.'

LAWFARE: The ICC has made it clear that criticizing the court and threatening sanctions when it violates its own rules is illegal. The ICC is threatening to issue arrest warrants against 12 members of Congress. https://t.co/KOeHl3CjSP pic.twitter.com/HAH4i1d4H2

There things stewed, steeped, and steamed, until February 6, 2025, when now President Donald Trump whipped out that Sharpie and basically reimposed the sanctions he slapped on the ICC during his first term.

And SCHMACK.

    I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the International Criminal Court (ICC), as established by the Rome Statute, has engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel.  The ICC has, without a legitimate basis, asserted jurisdiction over and opened preliminary investigations concerning personnel of the United States and certain of its allies, including Israel, and has further abused its power by issuing baseless arrest warrants targeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant.  The ICC has no jurisdiction over the United States or Israel, as neither country is party to the Rome Statute or a member of the ICC.  Neither country has ever recognized the ICC’s jurisdiction, and both nations are thriving democracies with militaries that strictly adhere to the laws of war.  The ICC’s recent actions against Israel and the United States set a dangerous precedent, directly endangering current and former United States personnel, including active service members of the Armed Forces, by exposing them to harassment, abuse, and possible arrest.  This malign conduct in turn threatens to infringe upon the sovereignty of the United States and undermines the critical national security and foreign policy work of the United States Government and our allies, including Israel.  Furthermore, in 2002, the Congress enacted the American Servicemembers’ Protection Act of 2002 (22 U.S.C. 7421 et seq.) to protect United States military personnel, United States officials, and officials and military personnel of certain allied countries against criminal prosecution by an international criminal court to which the United States is not party, stating, “In addition to exposing members of the Armed Forces of the United States to the risk of international criminal prosecution, the Rome Statute creates a risk that the President and other senior elected and appointed officials of the United States Government may be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court.” (22 U.S.C. 7421(9)).  

 The United States unequivocally opposes and expects our allies to oppose any ICC actions against the United States, Israel, or any other ally of the United States that has not consented to ICC jurisdiction.  The United States remains committed to accountability and to the peaceful cultivation of international order, but the ICC and parties to the Rome Statute must respect the decisions of the United States and other countries not to subject their personnel to the ICC’s jurisdiction, consistent with their respective sovereign prerogatives...

The United States and others have never joined their cursed club, have never agreed to any rules set by the club members, and do not recognize the authority of anyone wearing a club badge who claims to 'be someone.'

End of story.

For the most part, the Israeli Prime Minister and his cabinet have been able to travel - when events allow - with relative freedom from fear of ICC arrest warrants. They naturally steer clear of waffling European countries that bite their nails over kowtowing to Khan's edicts or acting as if they were sovereign nations. It's not worth the upset or taking the chance.

And now, it seems, karma has come for Khan.

The International Criminal Court on Monday suspended its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, following allegations of sexual misconduct.

The court’s oversight body, the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties, said the decision to suspend Khan was grounded in an independent investigative report authored by the United Nations, the written testimony of Khan and his alleged victim and the advice provided by a panel of judicial experts.

The bureau stressed the suspension was “not an indication of the final outcome” of the probe into the British lawyer’s actions.

Israel immediately jumped at the opportunity to lambast the ICC as 'rotten to the core...' 

Or has it always just had a rotten KHore?

The ICC Bureau voted to suspend Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan with immediate effect over sexual misconduct allegations.

A full Assembly of 125 member states will now decide on removal.

Khan denies everything, calling the process "unlawful."

...Khan denies everything, calling the process "unlawful." 

Israel is loudest in response.

Israel's UN Ambassador immediately demanded the Netanyahu/Gallant arrest warrants be cancelled, calling the ICC "rotten to its core."

The process you've used on others is always unlawful when it's finally used on you.

Turns out, Khan has been under independent investigation for two years.

...The case against Khan stems from allegations made two years ago by a staff member who accused the prosecutor of coercive sexual behavior over 12 months. The claims became public through media reports in late 2024. Khan has been on voluntary leave since May 2025.

The current, independent inquiry into the matter was launched at the ICC’s request after an initial, internal investigation was suspended due to the alleged victim’s refusal to participate. The resulting U.N. report, published last December, said there was evidence supporting the allegations, but did not reach a decisive conclusion.

Oh, I'll bet there wasn't a 'conclusion.' That would have upset the anti-Semitic apple cart they had rolling.

It turns out the celebration from outlets like Al Jazeera in March, when the UN report was released... 

Judges have cleared the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Karim Khan, of all wrongdoing after an investigation into alleged sexual misconduct, Middle East Eye reports.

A report by Middle East Eye published on Saturday said a panel of three judges submitted a confidential report to the court’s oversight body, the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties (ASP), on March 9.

...were a tad premature in light of yesterday's development.

Not so fast, indeed.

The International Criminal Court, #ICC , has just suspended its chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, for serious sexual misconduct.

...While under investigation for forcing himself on a female lawyer in his office, Khan rushed arrest warrants against Israeli leaders fighting Hamas after October 7.  Reports say Qatar-linked contacts offered him a deal: target Israel, and we’ll help you beat the charges.

This is the man who weaponised international law against the Jewish state while the evidence of his own misconduct was mounting. The same court that turned a blind eye to Hamas’s atrocities now finds its star prosecutor compromised by the very forces that cheered on October 7. 

The entire edifice of selective international justice is crumbling under the weight of its own hypocrisy.

And it turns out that the 'facts' were still facts. It was the jaundiced eyes looking at them that made the initial 'all clear' call.

'HAD non-consensual sexual contact' with the aide three times is pretty unambiguous language. HAD is, well, HAD. Not 'said to have' but 'HAD.'

...He had "non-consensual sexual contact with (the aide) in his office, at his private residence, and whilst on mission", according to a copy of a report by the UN Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) seen by the Associated Press.

Sources earlier told the Reuters news agency that a report by UN investigators found a "factual basis" for the allegations of sexual misconduct. However, a second report by three judges that reviewed the UN findings said the evidence was insufficient to establish the truth of the allegations "beyond a reasonable doubt".

It was the second report from the three judges (and the odds he knew any of them?) that let him off the hook.

The ICC's bureau member states were not so gullible.

So at least 2/3 of ICC bureau states didn't buy Karim Khan's claim that he had never engaged in any prohibited conduct with the complainant that “could be construed as inappropriate, unwelcome or abusive” and did not have a “sexual relationship” with her. https://t.co/9AJowD5mk7

You can take Netanyahu's argument about dropping the arrest warrants against them from a timing perspective, too. Were they just cooked up, not only out of anti-Israel animus but to take the heat off of a nascent and quite possibly fatal investigation into the sexual assault allegations against Khan?

The timeline certainly agrees with that theory.

Will that argument prevail?

We have to see if Khan survives his confidence votes first.

Or, quite honestly, if he is willing to take it that far.

He might be gone of his own volition before that happens.

Being judged for your actions can be the final frontier for some people.
