Obama directly flew to the Middle East to talk to foreign state leaders in 2008 only as a mere presidential candidate so he’s in “violation” of the Logan Act. The Logan Act is a joke.
No one has ever been convicted for a Logan Act violation in 220 years. Trump is not going to get convicted for this idiocy, especially as an incoming president not now not never.
The dems don’t care if Trump violated any laws or not they want him out and if they win a majority in 2018 they just might do it...we should be focused on winning elections not this Russia distraction
See British Petroleum Co, 231 F. Supp. 72, 89 (Dist. Court, SDNY 1964): “Another infirmity in defendants’ claim that plaintiff violated the Logan Act is the existence of a doubtful question with regard to the constitutionality of that statute under the Sixth Amendment. That doubt is engendered by the statute’s use of the vague and indefinite terms, “defeat” and “measures.” See United States v. Shackney, 333 F.2d 475, (2d Cir. 1964); Note, The Void-For-Vagueness Doctrine in the Supreme Court, 109 U.Pa.L.Rev. 67 (1960); E. Freund, The Use of Indefinite Terms in Statutes, 30 Yale L.J. 437 (1921). Neither of these words is an abstraction of common certainty or possesses a definite statutory or judicial definition.”
Anyone American citizen can talk to any foreigner, all they want, perfectly legal.
Except when that foreigner represents and negotiates on behalf of a foreign government, and what you agree to is contrary to the stated government policy of the USA.
That’s illegal because it subverts our government, even if it’s done one minute before Obama is out of office. That’s what happened.
Est verboten!!
