US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday blasted former Secretary of State John Kerry’s meetings with Iranian officials since leaving office.
"What Secretary Kerry has done is unseemly and unprecedented," Pompeo told reporters at the State Department, according to CNN.
"This is a former secretary of state engaged with the world's largest state sponsor of terror and according to him, he was talking to them, he was telling them to wait out this administration," Pompeo added.
"You can't find precedent for this in US history and the secretary ought not engage in this kind of behavior," Pompeo continued. "It's beyond inappropriate."
Asked if he thought Kerry's meeting had been illegal, Pompeo said he would leave the "legal determinations to others."
Kerry admitted this week that he met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif “three or four times” since leaving office but denied he was trying to coach him through the Trump administration’s rejection of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal.
In an interview earlier this week, Kerry justified his meetings with Iranian officials, claiming, “Every secretary of state, former secretary of state continues to meet with foreign leaders, goes to security conferences, goes around the world. We all do that. And we have conversations with people about the state of affairs in the world in order to understand them. We don't negotiate. We are not involved in interfering with policy. But we certainly have reasonable discussions about nuclear weapons, the world, China, different policies obviously.”

I’d LMAO if they went ahead and prosecuted Kerry...and nobody came to his defense. Do people really like Kerry?
The real government; they call it the deep state or the swamp.
Logan act still applies even if you served in VEEEETNAM!
John Kerry is negotiating on behalf of the deep state.
Wish they would refuse him entry to the U.S.
Go dance with the mullahs, you S.O.B.
Shades of meeting North Vietnamese in Paris in 1970.
Once a traitor always a traitor.
Benedict Arnold
He looks like such a wuss in that picture.
And things haven’t changed much over the years either.
Please, not this guy:
Is there anyone else?
It doth appear that former Secretaries of State who failed to become president set their own precedents…
Kerry himself set the precedent during the Vietnam War, by entering the North Vietnamese embassy in Paris.
Violating the Logan Act is grounds for revocation of Kerry’s passport.
Forgot all about Dear John. Gosh. Was that a deliberate snub, or the fact that he no longer matters, so I forgot.
