President Obama May be Breaking the Logan Act By Conniving with Foreign Governments
GP ^ | 07/05/17 | Jim Hoft

President Obama is engaged in acts that may go against the Logan Act which prohibits Americans from committing treason by acting with other governments against the US.

A summary of the Logan Act follows:

The Logan Act (18 U.S.C.A. § 953 [1948]) is a single federal statute making it a crime for a citizen to confer with foreign governments against the interests of the United States. Specifically, it prohibits citizens from negotiating with other nations on behalf of the United States without authorization.

Congress established the Logan Act in 1799, less than one year after passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts, which authorized the arrest and deportation of Aliens and prohibited written communication defamatory to the U.S. government. The 1799 act was named after Dr. George Logan.

Disgraced President Obama ended his Presidency with the worst economic results since the early 1900’s and the Middle East on fire but this has not stopped him from meddling in foreign affairs with foreign governments around the world.  For example, last week President Trump met with the leader of South Korea and this week fallen President Obama arranged a meeting the Korean leader.  If the President discussed any topics related to US policy which do not agree with President Trump’s policies, the discredited former President likely broke the law.

People have been protesting the United States on foreign soil for years. That sounds like aid to the enemy to me, but the government doesn’t seem to care.

May be...,?

It is "President Obama" as a matter of courtesy.

Citizen Obama has no authority to negotiate.

Didn’t Carter do the same things. They should both be arrested for what they did to this country.

He broke the Constitution by being President, with the full cooperation of everyone in the District of Corruption.

He is not a natural born citizen.

His foreign national father made him a British subject at birth.

Children of foreign nationals inherit the nationality of their foreign national parent and are not natural born citizens.

Rubio, Cruz, Haley, Kamala Harris, George P. Bush are not eligible, either.

There is no “may be” breaking the law to it. The law has never mattered to Zer0.

Well fine, but wake me up when our pathetic legal/justice system does something about it. And please spare me yet another useless congressional investigation. Those are simply make work projects for congressional staffers and assorted other hangers on.

Obama has never been held accountable for his transgressions. It would tickle me to death if Trump had the balls to indict this affirmative action fool for breaking the law. Obama belongs in prison, not just for this, but for all the corrupt things he did while President.

After restoration of the Just Us dept. to the Justice dept., Hillary is reputed to have anticipated, “We’ll all hang from nooses.”
I was shooting my mouth off about how Jeff Sessions was `Mr. Lawandorder’ end of last year ... and wouldn’t it be great if he was Atty General?
One of the first things he does is bow out.
And how many indictments of these `rat Beltway Bandits?
Zero.

It’s no wonder they continue hammer and tongs with their harassment of President Trump. SNAFU.
