I could be missing something but I don’t think any of those three have ever been convicted by the ICC.

The examples are domestic crimes because the argument is that the US doesn’t need to be party to the Rome Statute because it would enforce similar penalties on servicemen and leaders using domestic jurisdiction. Others countered that the US somehow can’t do that despite the former president literally being on trial as we speak and the above commenter provided examples to the contrary.

Some quick searching online turns up relevant stuff:

Not seeing any mention of a conviction on the Wikipedia page though, which seems like it would have at least a mention:

This is pretty wild: https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/03/16/icc-us-coope... (archived: https://archive.md/IDpQk)

That's clearly trying to pull some shit / suppress investigation into US activities.

I must be mis-remembering some Facebook memes based on the 2012 conviction in absentia by a Malaysian tribunal. Seems like the ICC never took it up; although they almost certainly should have. US sanctions and pressure on the ICC not to seems to be working.
