John Kerry

#1

Curious what people think about his backdoor Iranian negotiation tactics going on right now. Isn't this textbook Logan Act?

It's not a violation of the Logan Act, which by the way is a silly law which hasn't been enacted in 160 years, never resulted in a conviction and may be unconstitutional. It's not a good look, but is it any worse than Senators drafting a letter to the Iranian government in an attempt to undermine Obama?

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.

The way I read the Logan act, it is a violation being committed by John Kerry

I don't have an opinion about the Logan act but I agree that what John Kerry is doing is no worse than what Tom Cotton did.

Mike you have gotten so much better but can you do one more favor please?  I am searching for what Tom Cotton did but my algorithms are not pulling up anything.  Please provide a link when you reference things.

Tom Cotton wrote a letter to the Ayatollahs while Kerry was negotiating with them.  Cotton's letter said they shouldn't trust Kerry because Obama was going to be gone after 2016 regardless.  The letter was factual but it's not the right message.  New Presidents should honor the commitments of prior Presidents, until circumstances beyond the name of the man in the white house actually change. or else no President will be trusted in international negotiations.

If someone said water was wet, you could literally write a 300 word post arguing that it isn't.

And all the while blaming Republicans that it isn't while claiming to support them.

If Trump was walking along 5th avenue, pulled a pistol and shot a stranger that was passing by, you would find a way to defend him, using exclamation marks and at least one reference to "libs" or "the left."

If there were any liberals or Democrats on this board making unreasonable points I'd argue with them too.

That all depends who he shot. Was it a criminal coming at him with a gun? Besides, POTUS doesn't carry. That is why he has SS detail.
You literally compared Tom Fitton to a former Secretary of State making power plays behind the country's back.

So this thing just deleted the quote that i was referencing. I disagree with Mike saying that all Presidents should honor their predecessors agreements.

Yep, this President was specifically elected to undo Obama's agreements.
