You’re missing my point – I’m not saying that we can’t or shouldn’t do anything – I’m just saying that given that this is the perception, it would explain why we have had difficulty getting traction at the USEMB. It’s probably worth explaining this to the client, who in my opinion has unrealistic expectations regarding what the USEMB can / will do. I have tried to be VERY clear from the start that I did not think that the USEMB would play an active role in his case, and that the most that they might do is ask questions or broker a meeting for us. I am fearful that he has a different impression.

All the more reason not to have their credibility damaged by exposing the
Cases where extortion by senior political
Officials is carried out by the persons charged with protecting / changing the legal system ?.

 It's pretty clear cut, let's reach out for the meeting or go media in US

This kind of article is likely to make our efforts with the USEMB an uphill battle, and why I expect HK has had little interest in taking any kind of public position.
