Nobody has ever been prosecuted under the Logan act. And Logan is a dead letter after Obama before his election in 2008 negotiating with Iraq to oppose Bush, and by McCain negotiating all around the world at cross purposes to the USA. Last, every single president elect, BAR NONE has interacted and opened dialogue about the future with numerous nations.

As for firing Comey, Trump has an unquestioned right to direct the FBI, fire it’s director, tell him to end or begin an investigation, etc. It is impossible for his to “obstruct” one of his low level employees like an FBI director.

But in any case, this special counsel cannot file criminal charges against Trump. The most he can do is hope congress will take his report and try to impeach him. But Mueller cannot prosecute him. It can’t be done.

I never claimed that. I simply said as special prosecutor investigating the President, there is precedent to force the President to testify, or plead the 5th. And acting AG Rosenstein has rebuffed any questions as to whether Mueller has the full support of the DOJ. Rosenstein used to work for Mueller, and acts like he still does.

But don't consider me an advocate for Mueller, in the least, I am one of his biggest critics on FR.. If you've seen my posts you would have noticed I have aggressively attacked those here who actually are supporting Mueller by claiming that he is secretly working for Trump. My goal is to bring awareness to the threat, which is real. Just like you have to properly identify the threat as "Islamic Terrorism" before you can actually fight it. You have to be aware of the full context of the "Mueller Threat" before you can defend from it.
