Jim “Ft. Worthless” Wright (D-TX) should have been arrested by Pres. Reagan for traipsing to Nicaragua to boost Little Danny Ortega’s insurgency back in the ‘80s, and that would have given pause to current Dems who undercut the powers of the Executive Branch. But no, the Logan Act is just one of those leftover laws that won’t be enforced...unless some Republican goes abroad and opens his mouth during Hillary’s administration. To the gallows with him then.
