Them's the rules.

Won’t work. Tulsi did it in Syria when she was a democrat.

There are times when the idea’s good. Depends on who’s involved.

PROSECUTE!

[PubliusMM]

But, let’s get real.
NO ONE has ever been convicted under the Logan Act, enacted in 1799.
Two people have been indicted, but neither was convicted.

No reason to think this time is any different...

[flamberge]

Them's the rules.

The "rules" mean nothing.

Besides, "It's not a crime when a Democrat does it."

That's the real rule. Should we change that? If so, how can we change that?

Van Hollen’s trip is a gift that will “keep on” giving, to the Republicans.

[oldernittany]

No “might” about it.

18 U.S. Code § 953:

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.

That would require a spine which is non-existant in Congress.

And democrats need to remember that nobody is above the law.

[metmom]

Even though they think they are.

[Ronaldus Magnus III]

It’s the seriousness of the charges!

C’mon, Man.

I think that Senator Van Hollen, who traveled to El Salvador hoping to secure Abrego Garcia's release. Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele should be called as a DOJ witness before a number of judges.

Each time his is placed under oath, he should be asked about the health of Garcia. Then he should be read a copy of all the federal laws he violated in court under oath. Then he should be asked the purposes of his trip, while under oath. Then finally he should be asked under oath if there “could” be reasonable grounds for a jury to investigate if he violated federal law.

He wanted to draw attention to himself with his grandstand play. I say give the guy enough rope to hang himself (politically and legally). If nothing else it should make for great anti-Van Hollen campaign ads at his next election bid.

[Verginius Rufus]

Logan was a well-meaning Quaker.

Isn't there a codicil to the act: "This is to be used against Republicans only"?
