    I’m sooooooooo confused by this story. First off, how is George Clooney authorized to arrest anyone??? Under what authority? And where would arrested convicts be held?

    I guess the russia side of the story makes sense from their perspective. State run media, is spewing state run propaganda. That I get. I don’t agree with it, but I understand what is happening.

    But I don’t understand how George Clooney is arresting anyone. Can Tom Hanks set up a foundation and arrest people? What would happen if Tucker Carlson moved to russia, and set up a foundation to arrest American reporters?

    I do not understand the rules here at all.

      I assume his nonprofit is finding people with arrest warrants, and telling police where they’re located?

      George doesn’t have any authority to do so. His wife, Amal however, is a prosecutor with the ICC.
