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.”

Apparently he was just visiting his new 'in-laws'.
Yes we're looking for justice.
Expecting it to happen now would be reasonable, if we had a nonrecused AG.
But we don't.
So Trump is forced to play the long game.
Hopefully Trump will be able to expunge the recalcitrant AG soon.
Talk, talk, talk.
Sick of it.

that’s right, the daughter... an arranged marriage maybe?
That was one hell of a 4 billion dollar dowry, WE PAID!
I bet they really loved the pallets of cash
Traitorous bastard.
If you had any idea how long it takes to indict and prosecute a simple ceo corruption case you would understand that a government full of corrupt people isn’t going to happen within a two year time frame by any means, especially since they are still in the uncovering mode....while at the same time keeping government operational.
I am just a guardhouse lawyer, but shouldn't the Logan Act be looked at here?
Once again, Mr. Kerry has sided with our enemies.
The Obama administration never left, still running the country.
I notice John Kerry has his arm around his wife’s waist and oddly, his fingers are crossed.
No.
There's plenty of low hanging fruit that isn't being prosecuted.
And it's been eighteen months, and key basic witnesses haven't been questioned in the FISA investigation and the Uranium one investigation.
Beyond all of that, the simple facts are that Jeff Sessions is recused and the corrupt Rod Rosenstein is in charge.
If you had any idea the legal jeopardy there would be if the RECUSED Jeff Sessions was doing something "behind the scenes", you would understand that the Jeff Beauregard Sessions is doing nothing.
Doesn't take much critical thought to lay waste to your theory.
Every secretary of state, former secretary of state continues to meet with foreign leaders, ...”
Uh...you ADMITTED that you advised the Iranians in the matter of getting around the aims of the Trump administration.
Kerry needs to be IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED and held without bail. There needs to be an example set . The hammer needs to fall . This is the time and THIS is the man . Nuke the bastard .
Let him run amok in the Carolinas with the British? That’s what Benedict Arnold did when his plot was foiled. Was he ever caught and hung?
Yesterday, if not tomorrow.
Trump needs to act . He needs to ORDER Sessions to arrest Kerry . For treason .
So when will Lurch be placed behind bars?
Stronger language and actions are needed, Mr Secy.
You mean John Kerry.
