🚨TRUMP ACCUSED OF VIOLATING FEDERAL LAW WITH ALLEGED CALL TO NETANYAHU

Trump has been accused of potentially violating federal law by allegedly calling Netanyahu to discuss a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas.

While Netanyahu's office denies the call, American Muckrakers has filed a request with the DOJ and State Department to investigate the matter under the Logan Act, which prohibits unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments.

Can anything just put this piece of shit away for good or no?

The supreme court's immunity decision on presidential behavior doesn't apply, obviously. But a private citizen is entitled to conversations with foreign leaders. Classic loophole, Mr. Reagan.

Theyre entitled to conversations about cats and baseball but not conversations that involve ongoing negotiations and foreign policy decisions on behalf of a government they're not a part of.

The wildest future is where this is what ends up getting Trump behind bars but somehow that ceasefire did get trough and ends the war there.

Hey i can dream.

If you read any of his comments, his intent is for Israel to "win."

Zzzzz… more and more it feels like our laws are a sham if you’re a part of the ruling class.

When Trump Jr. visited Hungary in June and talked to their Prime Minister about “how we can make Hungarian-US relations great again, as they were under the presidency of @realDonaldTrump”, the Logan Act was being mentioned.

I had never heard of it before, but apparently, no one’s been charged with violating the act even though there’s been instances where they could have. So unfortunately, I wouldn’t get my hopes up about this with Trump now actually leading to any jail time. Maybe a fine?

Hatch Act. Emoluments clause. You would be better off listing things that haven't been violated.
