The left got away with the “Dear Commandante Letter”...a violation. . .
How about Lurch meeting with ‘both sides’ during the Paris Peace Talks. Both sides did not mean the North and the South, it meant the civilian and military representatives from North Viet Nam.
!
I don’t recall anybody raising this issue...ever!
After being passed as law 218 years ago and no one has been punished under it, I say it is time to pass a new law terminating it.
General Flynn’s Dec. 20th phone call was deplorable. It undermined President Obama’s plan to convince President Putin to
A) withdraw his troops from the Ukraine
B) restore the Crimea to the Ukraine
C) abandon support for North Korean missile development
D) restore Abkazia to Georgia
E) establish Chechnya and Elista as independent countries.
All of which would have been achieved by Jan. 20. Off with his head!!
I know. Lurch and Hanoi Jane should have been tried, convicted and executed. IMOHO
“General Flynn has my 100% support
He is a true war fighter . Get um”
I don’t care abut the Logan Act nonsense. But if he lied about something so trivial, that concerns me a lot. It is not consistent with a true warfighter to resort to lying to get out of accountability for something so small.
I hope he didn’t do it, because it’s indicative of more troubling things abut the man and his record

There appear to have been few indictments under the Logan Act. The one indictment found occurred in 1803 when a grand jury indicted Francis Flournoy, a Kentucky farmer, who wrote an article in the Frankfort Guardian of Freedom under the pen name of “A Western American.” Flournoy advocated in the article a separate Western nation allied to France. The United States Attorney for Kentucky, an Adams appointee and brother-in-law of Chief Justice Marshall, went no further than procuring the indictment of Flournoy, and the purchase of the Louisiana Territory
later that year appeared to cause the separatism issue to become obsolete. So far as can be determined, there have been no prosecutions under the Logan Act.
March 2, 1803 - an article by Francis Flourney appears in a local Frankfort, KY newspaper advocating for western states and territories to secede the Union.
March 14, 1803 - Flourney is indicted by a federal grand jury in Frankfort, KY for violation of the Logan Act
The Louisiana Purchase made the whole matter moot and it was never prosecuted.
