Nothing will happen to the Senator.

He’s going to “check on his condition”?! Bring him a Teddy Bear. He’s already had a rectal exam I would imagine. I hope!

Number of people convicted under this mythical act: 0.00.

Of course, Van Hollen is now violating The Logan Act.
But he, just as with John Kerry, does not think he will suffer any negative consequences for doing it. None.
A few caustic remarks from the GOP is not a real consequence.

Van Hollen figures, the Trump Admin talks tough, but they don’t seem to actually prosecute anybody other than former gang members.

I think that is exactly what the little turd wants. Tons of publicity, martyrdom and a small fine.

Probably nothing happens to him. However this 2nd Trump administration is operating differently. Thus all bets are off on whether any action is taken. At a minimum Congress itself should take action.

I asked Google and it said:

Despite never being enforced, the Logan Act remains in effect to this day and is often mentioned in political contexts.

Logan Act: Never prosecuted and probably unconstitutional.

Anytime a Freeper posts a Logan Act article its fake news. Here’s today’s source for the article:

“Political consultant Roger Stone also noted that Van Hollen’s actions could result in prosecution under the Logan Act.”

sure he won’t face the logan act, but he should be removed from any committees or extra roles in senate due to his obvious lack of wisdom and smarts, not to mention lack of respect for the US Constitution.

The problem is we fell for Trumps lies. Like before he promised to bring justice but put deep staters in the positions capable of doing that. All he does is obsess over the stupid border and Chyna while his democrat buddies walk free.
