John Kerry in violation of the Logan Act

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.
Former Secretary of State John Kerry has been using diplomatic backchannels to communicate with Iranian officials in order to keep former President Barack Obama’s infamous Iran nuclear deal on life support.Kerry also met last month with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and he’s been on the phone with top European Union official Federica Mogherini, according to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to reveal the private meetings. Kerry has also met with French President Emmanuel Macron in both Paris and New York, conversing over the details of sanctions and regional nuclear threats in both French and English. A State Department spokeperson said they were unaware Kerry would be holding the talks while expressing concern he may be derailing Trump's ongoing discussions on the Iran deal.
“It is unusual for a former secretary of state to engage in foreign policy like this, as an actual diplomat and quasi-negotiator,” said Michael O’Hanlon, a foreign policy expert at the Brookings Institution.
Former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who was fired by Trump, pointed to the Logan Act when it was discovered that former national security adviser Michael Flynn discussed policy issues with a Russian envoy after Trump was elected but before former President Barack Obama left office.
“John is a friend of mine. I've known him for a long, long time. But remember how this investigation against Trump begins,” Dershowitz said. “It begins by the theory that people in the Trump campaign may be violating the Logan Act, by going and speaking to people when they haven't yet been president."
Where is the hell is Sessions?

So Tool, who says that Kerry is "unauthorized"?
It looks like Trump sent someone with experience and who knows what he's doing.
Probably just another Trump "back channel" thing. What are your handlers saying about it?

Elkin, that is a very weak argument you make.
You know, and I know, that a FORMER Sec of State should not be trying to continue doing foreign policy.

Because the logan act has never been enforced. Its pretty much a joik. How ever Kerry working behind the back of a sitting president constitutes treason. If we didnt have a gutless FBI it would be taken care of.
What I dont get Elk is why do hate Trump. Are you for Socialism? Communism? Open boarders? What are your goals.
Clown has to obey the union bosses or loose his job. Whats your excuse ...

You'll wait a long time if you are waiting for Jeff to wake up.
But that isn't the issue.
Elkin knows very well that Kerry, who is no longer Sec of State, should be going around pretending he still is.

The Iranians are not stupid...they know what Kerry is trying to do...
When they figure he has no insde intel to offer them, they will throw him under the bus..
and violating the Logan Act will look like a parking ticket..compared to the charges he
might face... :o :lol:

Yep, Kerry is meeting with world leaders trying to undermine Trump to avoid the deal being voided including colluding with Iran. One thing Kerry and Barack should know by now, is that world leaders know what ever Kerry says and promised is meaningless because Trump will just laugh if they bring up the meetings with Kerry. I hope they've issued a FISA warrant to monitor Kerry's contacts with the terrorist country of Iran.

Benghazi - 4 years, Zero indictments
Hillary emails - 2 years, Zero indictments
Trump Russia - 14 months, 23 indictments
Kerry Logan act - should be a shoo-in for an indictment?
:lol:

Elkin, come on.
Surely you know that Rice and Hillary lied about Benghazi?
There were 4 deaths, and the fact that nobody was indicted is pretty much an absurd point to be making when four brave men -- all better men than Elkin -- are dead.
Elkin, you just show you don't care about anything but Left Wing ideology.

On to Hillary's private server and the classified email thereon.
That broke the law, and we all know it.
It really isn't good when people who break the law like that get away with it via a phony investigation, like the one Comey did to let Hillary skate.
Comey's excuse was that Loretta Lynch was compromised by the tarmac meeting and he had to step in and be corrupt because she couldn't be the one in that instance.

Today, the President of the United States himself, told Kerry not to interfere...
In effect, the President is telling the DoJ not to ignore violations of the Logan Act.. :o
