1. Twitter is a joke.

Nice "rules" there jerk offs...ass clown is banned, yet he hands off to a lackey and it is put out as if the ban never occurred? What a crock of shit...

[Timewas]

8. Also

Apparently so is our "justice" system...

2. In his dreams he has a bona-fide envoy and is actually conducting foreign policy

3. It could be true but twitter is not a good source.

9. Just heard the same report on MSNBC

The envoy is the very unpleasant Grinnell, former ambassador to Germany under Trump.

11. He is a piece of work

During the 2016 Republican primaries, Grenell warned his Twitter followers about Donald Trump, described Trump as "unserious" and "dangerous". “Trump is dangerous. Wake up. He’s reckless,” Grenell tweeted. Grenell deleted all of his negative tweets about Trump after Trump became the Republican nominee. Grenell then began praising Trump repeatedly on Fox News and on Twitter.[1]

Grenell was a U.S. State Department spokesperson to the United Nations during the George W. Bush administration. Following his State Department tenure, he formed Capitol Media Partners, a political consultancy; he also was a Fox News contributor. Grenell was a foreign policy spokesperson for Mitt Romney during his 2012 presidential campaign.[2]

In September 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Grenell as the U.S. Ambassador to Germany.

12. This guy is not an envoy amassador

It should go something like this: He sent his envoy, blacksmith Jones to see if the horses were healthy. It didn't take long to realize he should have asked the horse instead because blacksmith Jones was an ass. Someone said the same thing about Grenell.

Key Difference: An ambassador is the highest ranking diplomat that is sent to another sovereign state in order to represent their country. An envoy is a diplomatic representative and not considered as a representative of the head of the state.

4. Gee...Another crime... Yawn...

Link to tweet

The Logan Act is a single federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer w/foreign govts against the interests of the US. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating w/other nations on behalf of the US w/out authorization.

Just add this new crime to the long list...

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. Yep, another yawn. Some people are above the law.

[former9thward]

16. The Logan Act is unconstitutional on its face.

There is no legal expert which gives it any credibility. It is a law, over 200 years old, which no one has been brought to trial for violating. Why people keep bringing it up I don't know.

17. Free speech is not free...and those who abuse it should be held accountable

‘During the nineteenth century, the act lay dormant, partly because American foreign policy receded in importance as an issue.[6] During the twentieth century, however, with the Supreme Court paying greater attention to cases involving the First and Fifth amendments to the Constitution, and with the possibility of American foreign policy being more influenced by private individuals becoming more of a prominent issue in politics, there have been more cases potentially involving the Logan Act.[6] Still, the Logan Act has been rarely enforced, possibly because prosecutors have been concerned that speech between a private citizen and a foreign government may still qualify as free speech and be protected in that regard.’

5. Sounds like he is trying to pick a fight?

A staged planned war maybe. Pukes need a new bad guy?

[2naSalit]

6. He and his envoy ambassador

Should be arrested immediately for impersonating government authorities.

[crickets]

13. +2

[multigraincracker]

10. Great fodder for late night comedy.

I'll be looking for it.

His biggest fear is being laughed at.

14. Can't his travel be halted by means of his passport?
