Barack Obama and Raila Odinga -- Did the Illinois senator violate the Logan Act
PaulFVillarreal, Journal! ^ | 10/28/08 | PaulFVillarreal

Obama’s Logan Act Violations: Kenya 06, World Tour 08!

The Logan Act has two basic components:

A) The Accused Individual must not, “without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commence or carry on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States,”

B) Must not do anything “to defeat the measures of the United States”, which in context means work against the policies of the President and Executive Branch.

If you reflect on this for a few minutes you will realize that this is a complete “hands off” message, no citizen can involve themselves in any dispute of any variety between a foreign government and the US Government without tacit, or direct, Authority of the President unless they themselves have been legally injured and are seeking redress for that injury. Senators, Congressmen and Ex-Presidents do not get a free pass on this.

my comment to you, if the fricking MSM, won’t report on 3 of their OWN being thrown off of the obamaramaDINDONG plane, I can’t believe they would go after the clown for a violation of the LOGAN ACT

At the time Raila Odinga was running for office of president of Kenya, was he an existing officer or agent of the government of Kenya? If yes, then Logan applies. If no, then it doesn't.

According to a few responses from republicans in the house, a senator is outside the bounds of this act. The original violator, was a state rep.

I still think this act is meant for state dept recognized people and those in DC dont have the gnads to bring up the charge.

An American report of the time Obama spent with Odinga.

An American report of the close personal ties between Barack Obama’s father and Raila Odinga’s father. Read the entire article at the The Washington Times.

Follows some snippets:

Mr. Odinga had the backing of Kenya’s Muslim community heading into the election. For months he denied any ties to Muslim leaders, but fell silent when Sheik Abdullahi Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum, appeared on Kenya television displaying a memorandum of understanding signed on Aug. 29, 2007, by Mr. Odinga and the Muslim leader. Mr. Odinga then denied his denials.

The details of the MOU [Memorandum of Understanding] were shocking. In return for Muslim backing, Mr. Odinga promised to impose a number of measures favored by Muslims if he were elected president. Among these were recognition of “Islam as the only true religion,” Islamic leaders would have an “oversight role to monitor activities of ALL other religions [emphasis in original],” installation of Shariah courts in every jurisdiction, a ban on Christian preaching, replacement of the police commissioner who “allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists,” adoption of a women’s dress code, and bans on alcohol and pork.

But it isn’t up to Congress. Congress doesn’t prosecute. Where on earth is the CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security, etc,etct? Here I thought the Patriot Act was implemented to wiretap all these types of phone calls—oh-members of Congress probably exempted themselves from the terms of the Patriot Act, just like they don’t pay Social Security, have to take Medicare, etcetcetc....

Taht would be twice. The first violation was when he interfered with the negotiations with the Iraqi government, trying to get them to have the troops stay longer.
