For some unknown reason Barack Obama met with South Koreas new leader almost immediately after he returned from a meeting with President Trump. The Korea Herald reports:
President Moon Jae-in renewed his resolve to pursue sanctions and dialogue to tackle North Koreas nuclear program during a meeting with former US President Barack Obama on Monday, saying now is the last chance for the regime to return to the negotiating table.
During the 40-minute talk, Moon shared the results of his recent summit with his incumbent US counterpart Donald Trump, asking for Obamas advice on ways to advance the relationship.
This could be construed as a violation of the Logan Act as defined by Cornell Law School:
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.

Waitaminit!
The South Korean leader was asking Obama for advice on how to get tighter relations with Trump?
Sounds a bit like, maybe, South Korea is in some deep kimchee if their leadership is that stupid.
The left is fully emboldened. Has been for decades. Putting the hammer down requires changing the structure of government. Working on it. Will require a little bit longer.
I’m going to spend the week on Twitter leaving tweets for PJT-45.
He MUST STOP THIS. My gut is much better than Mika’s and even if it were not, the Kenyan despises America so no good can come from this crap!

Whenever I see someone claim a violation of the Logan Act, I know that person is not a serious observer of events.
Yea, it would be nice to know that somebody is going to take care of this political problem.
But I would rather see Sessions and the DOJ take are of the new and dangerous judicial activism. Start impeachment proceedings against some and call in for a little talk for others.
Some Federal Judges are baiting Trump for the Democrats who are just waiting for him to ‘ignore’ the court rulings — even though they infringe on the enumerated rights of the Constitution.
Bad form Obama....
That's my take, anyway. If Republicans don't get their act together and work with President Trump, the results aren't going to be anything that can be controlled.
Obama is a CIA agent. He’s working against the US best interest. The enemy has been in our govt for a long time.
I was driving my son and his friend back to college in Boston and I mentioned Ted Kennedy. My son's friend had NO IDEA not only who Ted was, but about Chappaquiddick. My son, being MY son, knew all about the Kennedy clan. After educating my son's friend, his reply was "how did he keep getting elected?"
Beautiful.....love it.
Americans desperately need a law...."Leave Office, Go Home and Shut Up."
And Ted Kennedy is not ancient history—less than 50 years.
Kudos to you for educating your son.
Is it just me, or does it seem that young people today do not even have the remotest curiosity about what happened before last week in history?
My biggest concern about growing older is being treated by doctors who received participation trophies all their lives.
He visited for $ome unknown rea$on.
I have been writing to my Senator, Rand Paul, about McCain and Obama running around outside the US and saying all kinds of nasty things about the country.
I have reason to believe he’s on it. His staff even called me back at home about the issue.
Actually Americans prefer he just STH up.
Obama's actions could be construed as a violation of the Logan Act. If the Logan Act is deemed unenforceable.....Americans demand a law that zips the mouth of these egotistial Eternal Presidents.

:: Exactly. He cant be charged under the Logan Act. ::
But, bringing charges against him might force his hand to reveal he isn’t a US citizen?
Perhaps Trump should pull our troops out of the South.
And that is why he will never get into any trouble....

HOORAY President Donald J. Trump. FINALLY, some representation. Thank you, sir.
FUBO
Uh, yes, he is. He was actually born in Hawaii.
Trump tweet needs to double brass knuckle 0bama ... the Kenyan is meddling, not helping. Maybe adding: “he didnt do anything while 8 yrs in office, but now, decides to get involved?”
Beautiful.....love it.
