Hemingway on Kerry Iran Meetings: All The People Who Said Logan Act Was Real Are Oddly Silent Right Now

The Federalist's Mollie Hemingway on former Obama Secretary of State John Kerry meeting with Iranian officials in an attempt to keep the Iranian deal intact:





MOLLIE HEMINGWAY: For a year and a half, we've had everyone in the media and law enforcement claim with a straight face that there's something called the Logan Act which is this 18th-century law that prohibits people from doing freelance work with foreign governments. It is clearly unconstitutional, it would never be enforced. And yet it was used to query Mike Flynn and contrary to what James Comey said in his interview with you, that was the interview where the FBI agent said he gave no evidence of lying. And yet, it was because they were doing a Logan Act query supposedly because he shouldn't have been talking to Ambassador [Sergey] Kislyak as part of his duties as the incoming National Security Advisor.



Here you have John Kerry who has no role in the administration doing freelance work trying to save a deal that is completely contravening the goal of the Trump administration. And all those people who were claiming that the Logan Act was real thing are oddly silent right now.
