US State Department: "Inspection" of the building of the Russian consulate was legal

60
The US Department of State, which has no relation to Russia's private property in the United States, announced that the “inspection” of Russia's diplomatic real estate was carried out in accordance with the law. At the same time, it was announced that employees of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) did not participate in actual searches. In that case, who did the “inspection”? And spent on what grounds?

US State Department: "Inspection" of the building of the Russian consulate was legal


RIA News cites a statement by an employee of the US Foreign Service:
The accusations by the Russian government that US officials broke down the door of the property or that the FBI searched the premises is not true. Over the weekend, Russian embassy staff were invited to join State Department officials and walk through three buildings in San Francisco, New York, and Washington, which the United States demanded that the Russian government close. This tour did not take place when these buildings were still considered premises of the embassy or consulate. These inspections were carried out to ensure the safety and security of buildings and to confirm that the Russian government vacated the premises. The United States fully complies with the Vienna Convention, US laws and bilateral agreements in these actions, as well as in its demands for Russia to close these diplomatic and consular premises.


Apparently, the employee who tried to break the ceiling in the building of the Russian consulate also did not violate the law ... Here is the law in the USA: hacks and searches are called “inspections”, and a raider seizure of property of another state is not considered a crime.

Recall that Russia will sue the US court to establish the "legality" of the weaning of property by the American authorities.

        As for the other answers. All summer, all the special services, the Pentagon and the State Department, butted whose people would stay in Russia by September 1. They quarreled. somehow agreed, and here again - 155 people can additionally drive off. laughing
        Everything now needs to be renegotiated in a new way. There is no time to work at all. And it doesn’t matter what Putin said - until we drive. All the same, they need to prepare for this. That's what life has gone ... hi

      In the US, even presidents are elected with the support of the godfathers! In countries with "totalitarian" regimes, human rights are observed many times more and there are more democracies than in the United States! So it’s not surprising ...

                    Well, as I understand it, these are CNN presenters Kelt Baldwin and Hala Gorani. Am I not mistaken?
                    Do you think CNN is an independent news agency you can trust?

                    For example, I remember very well how the American agency (CNN, in my opinion, and everything in the West after it) attributed the exact airstrikes on ISIS to our Russian air force pilots in Syria, to the US airstrikes on the US Air Force! This was at the very beginning of the presence of the airborne forces in Syria at the request of Assad. And what have American troops been doing there until then?
                    CNN is dependent on the commercial and diplomatic support of the US government abroad, and for this reason most of the news is generated by the television channel based on government press releases and reports. CNN is criticized for its deliberate alliance and symbiosis with the authorities, which leads to the TV channel becoming non-critical media, and the activities of its employees are reduced to covering the “right” press conferences, inviting the relevant guests to the broadcast and saying everything without errors names.

          -And how many hundreds of people a year die in the USA as a result of police lawlessness?
          The Washington Post reported that it recorded every case of police killings in 2015 during the course of their duties, using telephone calls, police reports, local media reports and other sources.
          The newspaper came to the conclusion that this year the frequency of such killings is almost 2,6 cases per day, which is more than double the official FBI data for the last decade - 1,1 cases per day.
          "Such murders in most cases remain unknown," said former police chief Jim Buermann to the newspaper. "We will never be able to reduce the number of murders committed by police if we fail to establish reliable information."

          -And why in the United States create groups to educate citizens on how to properly talk with the police?
          -And why does the USA lead in the number of prisoners in absolute terms?
          - About 2,2 million people are in jail. This is 25% of all prisoners on the planet (more than in the 35 largest European countries combined, and 40% more than in China), although the US population is only 5% of the world's population. Among these prisoners, about 71 thousand are minors.

          The United States of America also holds the lead in the specific number of citizens in jail: as of 2015, about 700 out of every hundred thousand were serving a term, were detained on suspicion of committing a crime, or were detained pending trial [5].

        Right. S. Sukhinov wrote very well on this subject. In the fantastic novel "Worlds from the Future".
        "Ultimately, tyrants care much more about ordinary people than rulers elected by the people. A tyrant knows that his power is unlimited by definition and that it will go to his children and grandchildren. What is the use of robbing people to the last thread or humiliating him provoking riots and revolutions? But the ruler elected by the people is always a temporary worker. He is good or bad, but he is in a hurry to take advantage of the fruits of his short-lived power. Not to mention the tyrant does not owe his power to anyone but his ancestors. Democratic elections, however, inevitably require huge sums of money from each candidate for the election campaign, and then he will have to compensate for these funds at the expense of the same people ...

          The fact is that buildings were taken from our Foreign Ministry, and Merkel should take care of hundreds of millions of refugees. she is tolerant, millions of dead appeared due to the fault of the United States and the same tolerant Europe. who decided to teach democracy and for some reason consider themselves entitled to decide whose Crimea and Donbass. References to international law after the bombing of Yugoslavia and the annexation of Kosovo are not considered. There is no international law!

    Russia will file with a US court to establish the "legality" of the seizure of property by US authorities
    and lose, because playing with a sharpie on his territory and conditions is pointless .. but an answer is needed

    if you hire expensive luer, then everything is possible ... only business wassat nothing personal, but how long will it take?

    That is, if I come to the Amer’s consulate in Yekaterinburg and start “rummaging around” in their rooms, will there be anything illegal? And if I’m also going to “take away” someone’s (from the consulate) beautiful wife (I can hardly believe it), this is normal ? (The last sentence is JOKE) .But neither in the USA, nor in ISRAEL I GO. I do not have a WONDERFUL place for rest in Russia.

      - Deprive the consulate of consular status. It is legal
      - Start a case (bloody Russian hackers), in which to seize property "on suspicion for clarification." This is also legal
      - ???????

    I can’t get rid of the feeling of similarity between the buildings of the representative office and the book depository in Texas, from which Kennedy was officially killed. Maybe this building will cause Trump's death, in the political sense.

    And what, in this case, does Russia interfere with regular inspection of offices, diplomatic mail and places of rest for personnel in the buildings of the US diplomatic mission in Russia?

      But Russia is simply stingy ... They kick it, it’s probably only the lazy that it’s not laughing at. We survived in the USSR, I doubt very much that it would come to that.

        Russia is not the USSR. Russia may lose this battle, but we need to win the war! But the Soviet Union (cold) war, by the way, and lost.

    I don’t think that the attempt to sue is so hopeless, and even under the watchful eye of TV cameras, “Beat” them with their own laws - it requires only a very good advocacy.

    And we all smile and wave, which is already not just that they put us up with cancer, but simply spread it on the floor simply. Respect is zero, we have only some bazaars about our damn furious bear.

    An employee of the American foreign service, in some reports, referred to as a representative, although he is a "representative", but lies. Our buildings and the land under them are privately owned by the Russian Federation. In principle, in agreement with the American authorities, the Russian Federation may open there, although the brothel for gays, the authorities, given the tolerance, would not mind, but for our great country this is unacceptable. Another tolerant proposal is to lease the premises to the rare animals protection society, for example in Washington, symbolically, to the gorilla protection society.

    If this is our deep property, then why did the guard not work? I wonder how the American marines will behave in a similar situation on the territory of Russia?
