1983--When Ted Kennedy Committed Treason

The Logan Act is a United States federal law that forbids unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. It was passed in 1799 and last amended in 1994. Violation of the Logan Act is a felony, punishable under federal law with imprisonment of up to three years. The text of the Act is broad and is addressed at any attempt of a US citizen to conduct foreign relations without authority.

In the Early 1980's President Ronald Reagan was Isolating the Soviet Union, while rearming the US at a pace that the USSR could not keep up with. His strategy, resulted in ending the cold war, destroying the Soviet Union and bringing down the Communist dictatorships across Eastern Europe.

In 1983, Senator Ted Kennedy secretly traveled to the Soviet Union in an attempt to ruin the President's strategy. At the very least this was a violation of the Logan act. To some it might have been an act of treason.

That law doesn’t apply to Democrats. As most laws don’t.

[roses of sharon]

99.9% of Americans have no clue about this, our government is run by the MSM.

Ted Kennedy also committed murder...he got away with that too.

1983—When Ted Kennedy Committed Treason

Probly didn’t seem like a big deal after COMMITTING MURDER...

[albie]

The Logan Law has been violated by Jimmah Carter, BO, Biden, Gore...they don’t count though.

[BubbaBasher]

Let’s not forget about zeros treasonous actions during the campaign.

[mowowie]

Most people have no clue about this clown except that he was “Great”.
ugh

[mowowie]

Pelosi as well?
Didn’t she pull a stunt recently?

[Wyatt's Torch]

Like most liberals, he wanted America to lose a war against an evil enemy...

“Ted Kennedy also committed murder...he got away with that too.”

And thought it was funny.

So did Kerry when he visited the communist Vietnamese.

[McGruff]

And there was Sen. Rockefeller warning Saddam when we going to attack. Got them WMDs out of there just in time.

[Bigun]

That law doesn’t apply to Democrats.

And certainly not to a Kennedy!

NO laws apply to Kennedys as we have repeatedly observed!

1) So we're just going to believe some memo from the Soviet Government files, which may or may not be real, may or may not be forged?

2) The Kopechne Killer spent over 45 years in Washington as a Senator. During the course of that time he must have met with diplomats from all 190+/- countries in the world in diplomatic and social settings. So instead of using those contacts to set up a communication channel with the Soviets he chooses his knuckled-headed flash-in-the-pan one-term-Senator college roommate and sends this lardhead to Moscow to communicate for him.

Does anyone else see a problem with this scenario?

I don't want to say anything positive about Senator Sleeze, but this memo just doesn't pass the smell test.

So did Kerry when he visited the communist Vietnamese.

In doing so Kerry also violated an article in UCMJ, since he still held a Navy commission at the time. As a minimum, that should be a lifetime of breking rocks at Leavenworth.

Soviet files also proved the guilt of the Rosenburgs, John Walker and Robert Hanson, among others. That's good enough for me.

[FrdmLvr]

And his final resting place will be Arlington. A slap at our heros.

[Cheburashka]

Ok, one vote for John Tunney as the master espionage agent.

[Secret Agent Man]

It’s not like the memo just surfaced yesterday.

It was discovered by a British journalist pouring through recently released KGB files after the Soviet Union fell. It’s been published in his book a looooong time ago. That’s where people originally found out abobut it.

Kennedy had well over a decade to denounce it and deny it.

[TigersEye]

So did Kerry when he visited the communist Vietnamese.

Kerry did it again with Tom Harkin when they visited Daniel Ortega in the '80s.

[South40]

Nixon didn't want to incite further anti-war violence so Kerry wasn't prosecuted.

Why no prosecution in the 80s?

[TigersEye]

I don’t know. A Dem controlled Congress didn’t want to prosecute two Dem Senators for sedition or treason.

True or false you don't deny something like this. You ignore it. A denial gives the story legs.

[Shellybenoit]

You missed the part where the Senator’s Office did not dispute the Memo

True or false you never issue a denial of a story like this. You ignore it. A denial just gives the story legs.

[Shellybenoit]

but they acknowledged the memo

You might try to be specific. Who’s they? The Soviets? Kennedy's chief of staff? Patrick Kennedy while he was on a bender?

[Shellybenoit]

read the article..Kennedy’s staff
