John Kerry under fire for reported 'shadow diplomacy' to save Iran deal
Fox News ^ | May 5, 2018 | Adam Shaw | Fox News

Former Secretary of State John Kerry is under fire over a report claiming that he has been engaged in “shadow diplomacy” with officials from Iran and Europe as part of a final attempt to save the seemingly doomed 2015 Iran nuclear deal.

The Boston Globe reported Friday that Kerry sat down twice with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif in recent months to strategize in a bid to save the deal, as part of what the Globe described as “an aggressive yet stealthy” mission to put pressure on the Trump administration to keep the deal in some form.

Trump faces a May 12 deadline to review the deal, and Kerry has been ramping up his meetings ahead of that deadline. He reportedly met with German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier -- who was foreign minister of Germany when the deal was negotiated. He has also met with French President Emmanuel Macron twice and spoken by phone with European Union foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini.

Kerry is not familiar with the Logan Act. He thinks it is the controlling statute as to what percentage of a rich widow’s estate you are entitled to should you marry her.

100% breaking the law, but he doesn’t care. His boss illegally gave 115 billion of our money to people who wake up every day and shout “Death to America.”

John Kerry apparently needs to be reminded he no longer represents the people of this nation. The fact he did is quite unsettling, but he is no longer the Secretary of State, or anything of government, therefore his meddling in government business can lead to charges of treason.

Don’t forget that Kerry’s daughter married an Iranian.

"John Kerry is under fire over a report claiming that he has been engaged in “shadow diplomacy”..."

Uh, wouldn't this at least suggest that someone doing this would be a 'diplomat'???

Now, 'shadow idiocy', I'd go along with...

John Kerry needs to be investigated for the simple reason that he is a Democrate and they lost! After all this is the reason Trump is under investigation, he is a Republician and won.

He and obama set USA up for Iranian nuclear destruction ( at least the seven large cities Teheran promises to destroy first). And now he’s trying to keep America vulnerable. ?! Kerry is a traitor ( we knew that before of course, but this time it is a million times worse ) he and obammy and their puppetmeister sorozNazi should be rounded up tried and upon conviction shot dead on the spot

From what I understand, the 1799 Logan Act would apply however it has little been enforced.....until General Flynn. (oops).

(my trolling...ignore)

In a civilized country, a former Secretary of State would NOT have to engage in diplomacy to ‘save’ an agreement that was approved by the prior administration, as the ‘comity of office’ means that a simple transition of occupants at the White House does not affect long-term foreign policy.

However, we now have a FLAMING FASCIST running the United States, so ALL MEANS NECESSARY must be engaged to prevent him from ruing the VERY CAREFULLY negotiated agreements of prior administrations. He must be stopped.

I’m afraid you’re in error on that.

John Kerry is a DEMOCRAT. Therefore Bob Mueller gives him a free pass.

Further, John Kerry is one of OBAMA’S FRIENDS.

Therefore Bob Mueller gives him a free pass.

You know, like Bob Mueller is a friend of Obama.

For Hillary, see above and repeat.

(I know you were asking it rhetorically).

...Did Kerry really serve in Vietnam?...

Yes. And he as given three Purple hearts. One for a scratch the size of a grain of rice.
He put himself in for an least the third one, which was his ticket out of Vietnam.
IIRC, his Swift boat crew mates believe that one is thefor a self inflicted “wound.”

Here’s a real Purple Heart hero.
Corporal Archie Miller of Portsmouth, Ohio was finally ordered home when he received his 5th Purple Heart in 1945. While in battle, under enemy fire, and fighting aggressively unlike John Kerry, Miller was wounded 2 times by sniper fire, 2 times by mortar fire, and was last wounded by a Japanese hand grenade.
His wife said he was too tough to die.

John Kerry walks into his favorite club. The bartender see’s him and say’s, “Hi John, how are you. Why the long face”

Bada Boom!!!
