(711 posts)Joe has the obligation to have him arrested. The Supreme Court agrees with his presidential powers and will have to support him, based on their recent decision, Do it Joe, for the sake of the country! Were counting on you to do the right thing.

Apparently, though, that only applies to Democrats. Republicons violate it all the time and nothing ever happens to them.

(3,531 posts)The Logan Act has been on the books since 1799. And in the 225 years since its enactment, very few have been charged/indicted for a violation, and none have been convicted. In light of that fact, and that Cantaloupe Caligula is also a major partys candidate for president - not to mention were now in the DoJs 90-day before election window - I dont think hell even be indicted for it, much less convicted.
So, as far as the Logan Act having legal repercussions, its like a dog without teeth: All bark, no bite.

(1,756 posts)...but it was Tricky Dick perpetrating that. Lyndon Johnson even confronted him about it and Nixon basically lied to his face. Johnson didn't want to come off as partisan and left it alone. He should have jailed his ass. We likely don't get Watergate, and we probably don't get the four year crime spree that was the Trump administration, either. Watergate showed them that "if the President doesn't, it isn't illegal," dontchaknow....?

(1,250 posts)If anyone ever had any "doubts" whatsoever about the criminal Turd being a "Traitor" to the United States of America -- here is your answer to whatever lingering "doubts" which may have existed. Is there more despicable treasonous conduct than this? This strikes me as a criminal violation of the Logan Act.
The Turd is a private citizen and as a "private citizen," the Turd has "no authority" whatsoever to involve himself in negotiations with the leaders of foreign governments. This is a Federal Crime!
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen.

(87 posts)Though I'm sure the answer is that this will cost Vice President Harris the election in some way, shape, or form since Loser Donald will make hay with this and say that "if they broke that promise, think of what other promises a Harris administration would break." Or maybe I was just dreading the other shoe dropping because of something like this.

(7,794 posts)were Bebe to parlay with the Palestinians it would DEFFINITELY complicate and compromise the progress of plans for an exclusive luxury enclave development on the Gazan Mediterranean coast. Who needs that, you ask? Well where else will the scions of sheiks and emirs indulge their pathetic hubris, spend their money and wield their wealth after the Iranians and climate change have made the Arabian Gulf states socially passe and lethally uninhabitable.
Here's where the
really sets in:
I mean, many among the burgeoning generations of super wealthy Arabs are asking, "where am I expected to park my yachts or my harem if I can't live in a civilized environment and control, at least, the local government?" or "what good is a HOA without gate guards armed with swords?"
Still, there are criminal element Americans who envision their place in history as harbormasters for those yachts and harems. Like a King Kushner who promises to keep the Philistine rabble in check (or at least those left after Uncle Bebe and his henchmen gives them object lessons on who runs this place). There's work to be done and no time for dealing them in or, heaven forbid, allowing them any territorial control. This Harris person is a real threat to progress.

Not supposed to "crime" when you're out on bail. Recind all privileges and remand to pre-sentencing custody!

A designated week where people with zero interest in resolving complex problems and issues posture away while chit chatting and pretending to give a rats as, while offering no more than lip service to the weeks' subject matter, and then close out the proceedings letting things continue to go to hell in a handbag, as intended.
