Barack Obama Just Violated The Logan Act…Again
The Federalist Papers ^ | 7/3/17 | Steve Straub

Posted on 07/04/2017 4:26:47 AM PDT by Lera

For some unknown reason Barack Obama met with South Korea’s 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 Korea’s 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 Obama’s 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.

[[Yet the NYT thought the Logan act should have been used against Michael Flynn. Wonder what they think about it being used against former President Obama?]]

Getting mighty sick and tired of these anti-Americans getting away with their treason and subterfuge.

To whom do we look for relief? Sessions? Trump? Ryan? Pence?

The longer it takes to put the hammer down, the more emboldened the satanic left becomes.

“Obama needs to stop sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong and honor the tradition of past Presidents by disappearing from the stage for a while and shutting the hell up.”

A true narcissist, he see himself as too important to stop speaking. He believes that simply by speaking he can influence events as though he had the power of God behind him.

"For some unknown reason Barack Obama met with South Korea’s new leader almost immediately after he returned from a meeting with President Trump."

That's like visiting a physician specialist about a medical malady and then consulting a witch doctor for a second opinion.

Your question is purely rhetorical, right?

Logan act is unenforceable. Rodman, Jimma Carter, etc. Not enforced then, not now, kinda like a path to the beach in one’s yard, then, one puts up a fence to stop it after 20 yrs of it being used by the public...no standing.

On an aside, I’m too lazy to post Pat Buchanan’s WND editorial today...a downer.

Trump needs to Tweet hard, double brass knuckle hard against 0bama today...meddling, not helping, ...possibly something sarcastic like, didn’t do anything while 8 yrs in office, but now, decides to get involved? Why? Perhaps CNN could hire him.

OBAMA wants to steal the credit that is due PRESIDENT TRUMP for Making America Great Again. We DEPLORABLES must keep this from happening.

We have unfinished business with Hussein.

The truth of who he really is, where he was born, and the truth of his whole life story, not the fake one we have been given, has to be revealed to the American people.

Someone somewhere has to have the truth.

Oh, and Hilary needs to go to jail.

I saw this move by the South Korean President as a very public showing of disrespect for Trump.

Since you mentioned Jimma, Trump cold have Foggy Bottom yank BHO’s passport. After all, Carter threatened to do that to the US olympians for the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow. (Carter got his panties into a twist over Afghanistan.)

Not our God- his “god”.

He doesn’t suffer from just narcissism, but diabolical narcissism.

Our govt MUST DO SOMETHING about this; he is creating a true SHADOW GOVT right under our noses and wants a “red wedding”.

President Trump MUST address this as Mr Soetoro will undo any good PJT has done- especially in the ME. What is he saying to them behind closed doors? Is he THREATENING them, BLACKMAILING them?

This has to be dealt with- Trump should cut his Secret Service detail from 650 to 50- that would be a good start!

+1. Exactly. He can’t be charged under the Logan Act.

Because most people alive today don’t even know JFK.

That happened almost 54 years ago.

There is no question our government has lied to us ever since then.

But Obama/Jarrett is still a clear and present danger to our Republic, and I would like his Presidency to always have an asterisk next to it in the future history books.

The two elections of Obama were the biggest deceptions ever pulled on the American people.

Time to set the record straight.

Exactly.

The new Korean guy is a pussified liberal who thinks he can reunite with North Korea.

The only thing holding Kimchi back is 28,000 American troops and the threat of nuclear anihilation, courtesy of the US.

After 67 years, maybe we should just leave.

I thought that too...very disrespectful.

Of course maybe he told Obama to stick it where the sun don’t shine.

He’s like a wife beater that tries to get his wife back by being nice and bribing her with Soros money!

And if I had to guess,besides money, he’s probably offering power; a seat in his Cabinet when he becomes ruler of the NWO/Caliphate/EU/UN/NATO.

He is up to something and being the diabolical narcissist he is, his motives are NEVER good- except for himself.

If this Korean dude reached out to Barack Obama for advice on how to deal with President Trump, then he ain't very bright. Perhaps Obama will give an honest answer for once in his life:

"If I knew how to deal with that guy, you'd be working with President Hillary Clinton right now."
