“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.
