The implication that the "global right" has ever had any respect for the rule of law is incorrect.

Considering that she, the act, and the targeted site are in Germany, that's a fair bet.

> And then people wonder why the global right is rejecting the idea of the rule of law...

> You clearly don't have much respect for the rule of law either…

Applying the CFAA - an American law - to German citizens on German soil for a German crime would be disrespect to the rule of law. The Germans get to decide what they want to do here, and use their own laws if they see fit.

Considering Americans are fine with kidnapping another country's leader these days, I would say they're more than happy to also decide what laws Germany gets to use as well.
