2. Here's the Logan Act:
Tue Mar 10, 2015, 06:59 PM
Mar 2015

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply, himself or his agent, to any foreign government or the agents thereof for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.


There is no doubt whatsoever that they violated this act, passed by no less than President John Adams, and named after Dr George Logan who took it up on himself to negotiate with France during the Quasi-War.

Funny, isn't the GOP the party that thinks the Founding Fathers made no mistakes?
