Will someone remind these unabashed hypocrites that Reagan was caught asking Iran not to release the American hostages so Reagan could use the issue in his campaign for the White House, and Nixon was caught asking North Vietnam to abandon peace talks with the US and South Vietnam so Nixon could use the war issue in his campaign for the White House. Neither was charged with a Logan Act violation and BOTH were rewarded with the presidency. Republicans have a lot of f*cking nerve even suggesting that John Kerry should be prosecuted under the Logan Act for meeting with a FORMER Iranian minister.
FYI: The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.
