The Logan Act, 18 U.S.C. §953, is an old but rarely-invoked federal statute prohibiting unauthorized private diplomacy with foreign nations. The Act provides:
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
The key elements thus are (1) a communication with a foreign government; (2) without authority of the United States; (3) for the purpose of influencing the actions of the foreign government in relation to a dispute with the United States or of defeating U.S. policy.

FORMER Secretary of State John Kerry needs to be investigated and prosecuted. If the DOJ/FBI cannot do it fairly then appoint a special counsel!
Same treasonous behavior he has gotten away with since he worked for the Viet Cong.
Kerry is 100% pure rear hole.
What’s in it for him? Points for a run in 2020?
Uh, isn’t THIS collusion?
Lurch needs a stint in a federal prison.
Paging AG Sessions...
I agree. If there was ever a case for the Logan Act this is it.
President Trump- remove his security clearances immediately as he is a demonstrated threat to our national security. NOW!
Illegal? Almost certainly. But Sessions isn’t going to “politicize“ his office, so Kerry can boldly flaunt his deeds.
The USA’s FORMER Secretary of State is meeting with Iran’s FORMER Minister.
Did they meet at the “HAS-BEEN CLUB”?
If he were a decent human being instead of the turd he is, he would be in Iran trying to see what he can do to help those fighting the regime.(The Greens).
so Kerry is working with Iran , arrest him now
Someone needs to put this piece of sh*t behind bars where he belongs
.
Just arrest the bastard now!
.
If someone leaked his military records he would take his yacht and leave.
Kerry’s doing his impression of a circus clown. Except circus clowns are amusing. Kerry, not so much. You need to give something to get something. Kerry’s not a government official, so he’s got nothing to give.
I think I heard about this on MSNBC..
.Nahhhh
Cancel the bastard’s passport. That’ll fix him.
This is felonious behavior
Treason it should be off to jail or perhaps OFF WITH HIS HEAD as they used to do in Jolly old England.
