Trump says John Kerry telling Iranians not to call him
2019-05-10
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
says he is open to holding negotiations with Iran and accuses former secretary of state John F. I was in Vietnam, you know Kerry
Former Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, self-defined war hero, speaker of French, owner of a lucky hat, conqueror of Cambodia, unsuccessful presidential candidate, and utterly failed Secretary of State...
of telling Iranian leaders not to speak with him.

Speaking at the White House, Trump is asked about his decision to speedup the deployment of the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf.

"We have information that you don’t want to know about. They were very threatening," Trump says.

"What I’d like to see with Iran, I’d like to see them call me," he adds.

Trump claims Kerry, who was America’s top diplomat when the 2015 deal curbing Iran’s nuclear deal was finalized, is in frequent contact with the Iranians.

"You know John Kerry speaks to them a lot. John Kerry tells them not to call. That is a violation of the Logan Act and frankly he should be prosecuted on that," Trump says, referring to a rarely enforced US law barring unauthorized persons from conducting foreign policy.

there haven't been any prosecutions for treason from the Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War or Long War


Not because there haven't been traitors, but because federal prosecutors are too often fellow travelers. Kerry's actions after Vietnam and Jane Fonda are the two that come immediately to mind.

#7  treason is another charge that is difficult to make stick because you have to 'adhere' to the enemy as well as giving them 'aid and comfort'

That describes Kerry's actions. Regardless of the treason charge not being used, it's hell time they did.

#5  Kerry is the voice of the Deep State.

"Just wait until Trump's out, things will be back to normal" he says.

Manning and Snowden for example were charged under the espionage act, not for treason

#2  no one has been prosecuted under the Logan Act since the 1850s

the Act itself has enough ambiguous language that makes it pretty difficult to enforce since all Americans, including John Kerry, have 1st amendment rights
