“If we had an Attorney General a Grand Jury would be convened, an indictment handed down, and the Courts would settle the question once and for all.”
I suspect the Logan Act is toothless. Otherwise, it would have been enforced long ago and put an end to American Leftists running around promoting their Leftist agenda while pretending to represent the US government. Jimmy Carter, for example, would have been Logan acted long ago.
“I suspect the Logan Act is toothless.“
Perhaps. But it’s time to find out if you’re correct. It used to be that Politics stopped at the waters edge. Remember that? Now any washed up has been politico can travel to hostile countries and actively undermine a duly elected President performing his Constitutionally mandated duties.
If the Logan Act doesn’t meet Constitutional muster that’s for the Courts to decide. Perhaps if a high profile indictment and criminal trial occurs that will be enough to stop some of this crap. And if the Act is struck down so be it.
Congress can get busy writing a law that withstands a challenge.
