Former Secretary of State John Kerry is being slammed for conducting shadow diplomacy with Iran after admitting to multiple meetings with Iranian officials behind the backs of Trump administration officials -- including over the scrapped nuclear deal.

An administration official on Thursday told Fox News Kerry’s meetings are "shameful," pointing out what Iranian-backed militias are doing to kill and injure people in Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

Other Republicans suggested it may not even be legal.

“John Kerry is out giving advice to Iran about how to maneuver around what Donald Trump is doing; it's insidious,” Ari Fleischer, the former White House press secretary for George W. Bush, said Wednesday on Fox News' "Special Report." “I don't know if it's legal or illegal, I don't care about that side of it. It's wrong.”

Kerry, the former Massachusetts senator who worked as the nation’s top diplomat in the Obama administration, made the comments about his interactions with Iran as he promotes his new book, “Every Day Is Extra.”

The time is long past overdue to take the profit out of sedition.

John Kerry's daughter

Documents show that the Peace Corps awarded Dr. Vanessa Kerry’s group—now called Seed Global Health—a three-year contract worth $2 million of State Department money on Sept. 10, 2012. Her father, John Kerry, was then the chairman of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, which oversees both the Department of State and the Peace Corps.

Seed secured a four-year extension in September 2015, again without competition. This time, the Peace Corps gave the nonprofit $6.4 million provided by the Department of State while John Kerry was Secretary of State.

In 2009, Dr. Vanessa Kerry, daughter of Secretary of State John Kerry, married Dr. Brian Vale Nahed, an Iranian physician.

No mainstream media reported this.

The best man at the wedding was Mohammad Javad Zarif—the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Iran.

He was Kerry’s chief counterpart in the nuclear deal negotiations... Kerry was negotiating with the father-in-law of his own daughter.

Oops!! Meant that (post 30) for another thread I just posted. Have asked to delete it.

[Georgia Girl 2]

He ought to be in the slam.

[BatGuano]

John Fu@kin Kerry?

That C0@cksucker should be hanged for treason. How dare he meet with any foreign leader, much less an enemy foreign leader, to betray our President, and our Country?

HOW DOES HE GET AWAY WITH THESE CRIMES?????????

[Bon mots]

He should be shot for treason.

At the very least, imprisoned for life for violating the Logan Act.

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.

Exactly!

slammed? how bout SLAMMERED!!! the POS should be rotting in prion

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Kerry got a Purple Heart for a couple grains of rice barely embedded in his ass.

For real.

He said he saw something enemy, threw a grenade in a paddy, turned to run, boom. Couple grains of rice in his ass. He went to medical, doc used tweezers. Doc said one basically fell out when he pushed with his finger on it.

(Yeah, poor doc)

Kerry insisted he be written up for a Purple Heart.

And. He. Got. It.

Still refuses to release his records.

And he threw someone else’s medals over the WH fence. Not his own.

A$$hole, through and through.

[Henchster]

I think Kerry needs to be sent to Gitmo first, so they can waterboard him until he squeals where all his terrorist buddies are hanging out.

THEN we can hang him from the nearest lamp post.

How can you “shame” someone with no honor?

Bad news, John -- you won't get any more purple hearts for facing the firing squad.
