Lawyer claims Erdogan's threats insufficient to force Gulen's extradition amid coup allegations

“The bluster, the conspiracy theories, and the threats of Mr. Erdogan are not strong enough to overwhelm the American legal system,” he added. “And for that reason we believe that Mr. Gulen should not and will not be extradited.’’ Mr. Weingarten said the chances that his client helped plot a coup from his base in the Poconos is “about as likely” as a meteor striking the lawyer’s office while he was speaking.
