Newsweek ^ | 21 Aug 2024 | Jordan King

Donald Trump has been accused of violating federal law by allegedly calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ceasefire deal the U.S. is helping negotiate between Israel and Hamas.

The former president allegedly made the call on August 14, according to Axios, which cited two unnamed "U.S. sources who were briefed on the call."

The next day, however, Netanyahu's office denied that the call took place....

Axios cited one source as saying that Trump's alleged call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the ceasefire deal that was on the table. However, the unnamed source told the outlet that they did not know what the actual conversation was.....

Trump has to know his calls are tapped and so are Netanyahu’s

With the Biden admin sharks circling, and after what they have been doing to him and others, it would be pretty risky or irresponsible to even dip a toe into foreign contacts …to be accused even if just for the sake of stirring up more lawfare

Not fair given the usual role of ex-Presidents but…it is what it is

Jimmy Carter was always going rogue and speaking with foreign leaders during Republican administrations long after he was booted out of the White House. Why didn’t the MSM object to that???

What the hell is going on down at Newsweak and Slime magazines? They’ve gone all out bananas for Chiquita Harris. They’ll print any lie that will make her look good.

Aaaand Trump will be the only person prosecuted for potential Logan Act violations. As others have pointed out, many have done so flagrantly w/ no pushback. Frankly, this is why the pubes always lose. They never play offense. Dims know they can do and get away with anything. The pubes always take their foot off the gas and keep things close/even. Stupid party.

Donald Trump breathes and there is an alleged crime.
= = =

Each breath is two crimes.

Breathing in steals oxygen.

Breathing out increases the bad CO2.

Even if Trump was talking with Netanrahu/Israel, he’d be doing the job Biden/Harris have been refusing to do, or are incapable of doing. If Trump can get peace negotiations which restore peace to the region, then, what’s to complain about?

What democrats fear the most is that, Trump might be successful, just like his presidency was massively successful. Nope! Can’t allow any success to be attributed to Trump. Lock him up!

John Kerry told them to ignore Trump’s peace agreements.

Two unnamed sources who were briefed on the call and can’t say exactly what was said, per Axios. Are we really talking about this “story?”

You may recall that Kerry met with Iranian government/diplomats in Paris when Trump was in office. Kerry was trying to tell the Iranians to ignore Trump and stick with the so-called Iran Nuclear Deal (which was and still is releasing frozen funds to Iran ostensibly to “help” them but really was to aid their nuclear program). Fortunately Israel plastered the outside of the mtn the nuke centrifuges are inside, and no doubt will eventually blow the place up from the inside. God willing, some brave operative/infiltrator.

What Kerry did was videoed and he was followed from the restaurant. He was acting as shadow government— and was quite illegal & nothing was done.

Trump already met with Bibi in FL. He also told the press at his press conferences that he told Bibi to get the job done and end the fighting.

There was no phone call and Axios is a bunch of suckers looking for blood and thinking they found some. No phone call, none needed. And also, Bibi denied there was any phone call immediately.

Certain powerful elements within our government don't want peace.

It really doesn't matter if it is (was) Biden or Harris, Walz, Newsom, Shapiro, or any other person with a "(D)" after their name - the Slimes & Newsweak will blindly support them.

Equally, it doesn't matter if it is Trump or any other with an "(R)" after their name - they will be viciously attacked at every turn. (Did any of Nixon, Ford, Reagan, H.W. Bush, G.W. Bush, or McCain get treated well by either?)

There is precedent. Trump was impeached for a phone call to Ukraine and is under felony indictment in Georgia for a phone call made into the state.

In fact following the current British standard of ‘justice’ Trump could be indicted, tried, convicted and sentence for merely being in the room where a phone call has been made.

Always anonymous sources with no verification, yet the vile US media reports these fake stories as if they were true. Trump has enough on his plate without taking time to broker a peace deal in the Middle East
