This is the exact same scenario that Obama advisers accused Gen. Flynn of being in
===========================================================================
Former Obama deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes admitted Monday that Joe Biden is already speaking with foreign leaders as if he is the next President, a move that some believe to be a breach of the Logan Act, the same law that President Trumps former national security adviser Gen. Mike Flynn was prosecuted under.
Rhodes made the comments during an MSNBC interview in which he slammed Trump for contesting the election:

Were going to have the pageantry already of the president-elect announcing his advisory board. Hes going to start announcing cabinet secretaries. The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden. Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden, talking about the agenda theyre going to pursue January 20th, said Rhodes.
This is the exact same scenario that Obama advisers accused Gen. Flynn of being in prior to Trumps inauguration, when the former national security advisor was purportedly communicating with foreign officials, including the then Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn was forced to resign after his conversation was exposed by the FBI, which was monitoring Trump campaign officials communications at the behest of the Obama administration.
In addition, notes made by former FBI Special Agent Peter Strzok, which were later made public by the Justice Department, suggested that it was Joe Biden himself who suggested using the Logan Act against Flynn, although the claim was denied by former FBI head James Comey.
After initially pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI, Flynn retracted the plea in January of this year after claiming that the terms of his plea deal had been violated by government officials.
The case is still ongoing, and under review after documents pertaining to it were discovered to have been altered.
If indeed Biden is speaking off the record with foreign leaders, it adds to the charges stemming from the Hunter Biden laptop case, which allegedly proves that Joe Biden was involved in dodgy foreign business deals with Chinese and Russian government agents.
Charges are never serious enough when it is Democrats being accused.
Isn't that what they've been trying to get Gen Flynn on for FOUR YEARS?!!!!

ELECTION FRAUD UPDATE:
@USPS
worker Richard Hopkins in Erie, PA has been placed on UNPAID LEAVE for blowing the whistle on backdating of ballots.
Project Veritas has confirmed Federal inspectors from the Office of Inspector General are investigating multiple post offices in PA.
This is routine for a “president elect”.
Wondering... will Gen Flynn ask Trump for a pardon? I think, so far he has not.
Didn’t an accusation of this sort of thing cause a multi-year “scandal” for President Trump?
Glad somebody picked up on this - the ultimate irony is we learned that it was JoePedo who suggested going after Gen. Flynn at that meeting with Hussein et. al. in the White House in January 2017.
Obviously, hypocrisy is endemic in the DemocRAT party.
The Logan Act is a dead letter and it was idiocy to go after Flynn with it.
They won’t understand him anyway - they’ll just politely nod
THEY ARE JUST LAUGHING AT US!!
Trump would be pilloried for this.
Biden is lauded as being proactive.
We have to kill the corrupt media.
I thought the Logan Act has never caused a prosecution because its considered unconstitutional.
Well, here’s something about it:
So far as can be determined, there have been no prosecutions under the Logan Act. However, there have been a number of judicial references to the act, among which are the following. Judge Sprague of the Circuit Court for the District of Massachusetts mentioned the Logan Act in two charges that he made to grand juries during the Civil War.

I thought whistle blowers were cherished special people who deserve our most respect and blah blah blah
How could be be put on unpaid leave? That is punishing the whistle blower so others don’t come forward
Jerks
Uhm, its not EVEN the same thing. Gen. Flynn was accused of violating the Logan act because he spoke with the Russian Ambassador on December 16th and Donald J. Trump WAS the President p-elect. Joe Biden is NOT the President-elect.
Well, he THINKS he is.....................
Rumor is he told the Chinese “he will have more flexibility after the election”.
