Did Trump break the Logan act

[Nikki28]

I saw on Youtube that Trump convinces the Isreal leader not to come to the table for a cease fire against hamas. Is this true or just fake news because I haven't seen it on the boards because I don't watch news anymore.It is all over the tic toc app too.Has anyone heard? If this is true;where is the AG? I don't put it past Trump becaause he doesn't care if he holds a country hostage if it helps him get elected. Please say it ain't so?

1. When most of the world mocks and laughs at him,

I can't imagine he has the horsepower to do anything.

2. Why should the DOJ care about a little thing like that?

3. Of course he's broken the Logan Act...in so many ways.

He’s trying to run a shadow government from MAL and I’m sure he’s in constant contact with the authoritarians of the world…including Bibi and his most recent visit from Victor Orban.

I’m sure there’s nothing DoJ wants to take on now but post election…to the degree he’s still doing it, I damn well hope that Garland’s replacement (Yates please) takes this one on…in addition to fully prosecuting the current cases on the books.

Of course, SCOTUS could easily decide that the Logan Act is no longer in force (until they get the change to apply it to a Dem).

7. My sense of poetic irony says Hillary Clinton

Should be the next AG. Let her lock him up.

But the right would say it’s politically motivated revenge

8. Haha - wouldn't that be fun...

Take it to the extreme and put BHO, Michelle, and HRC on SCOTUS.

I know it would never happen and I’m sure they wouldn’t want it but can you imagine listening to the oral arguments if those three were on the bench. A man can dream, can’t he.

9. Exactly

That would really cause conservatives to poop out a red rectangular chunk of building masonry

4. I'm sure he did, but what difference does it make? He is above the law.

That has become pretty apparent over the last 4 years.

5. Name something Trump didn't break. /nt

[biophile]

6. Part of the Republican playbook

Nixon did it, Reagan/Bush did it

10. How many times ?

[Think. Again.]

11. rightwing netanyahu doesn't need any convincing...

...from trump to keep killing tens of thousands of innocent, non-hamas, civilian, Palestinians.
