Quote me if I'm wrong but isn't this fucking illegal to have a private citizen act on behalf of the United States government?
Surely this law will apply to him.
he will write it in his CV under the list of convictions
Logan Act
Only applies to Little People
It really applies to nobody. The Logan Act might be the most ignored and pointless law in US history. Even stuff like Operation Red Dog was prosecuted under a totally different law.
Of all the Not Happening in stuff Trump could get prosecuted for, this is the most Not Happening.
Nixon did it with the Vietnam War. Reagan did it with the Iranian Hostage Crisis. Trump did it with Putin in 2016 (and then Pardoned Michael Flynn for taking part in it).
Add it to the pile. He's above the law
