Jimmy Carter has repeatedly violated the Logan Act since the day he left office in 1981.

Still a free man so far as I know.

Yep. Anybody who is in the USG who attends Davos, Bilderberger, or any other globalist meeting w/o official US diplomatic accreditation is violating the Logan Act.

Drain the swamp with the help of Mattis and Sessions; do it immediately!

Find the traitors and out them to the American people now. Then prosecute them and send them to Gitmo to rot with our other enemies.

If Flynn can be nailed for calling the Russian ambassador then McCain can be nailed for calling the Australian ambassador recently to apologize “in the name of the American people”.

Sounds good to me. Arrest both of them (and Jimmy Carter also!).

We need to send the Fox into the McCain/Graham hen house and drag out those treasonous poltroons to expose their behind the scenes operating behind the back of the President.

Although I’d love to see it, even Trump doesn’t have the balls to pull this off. He can, however, go after a few of the most vulnerable to send a clear message the rest of the snakes.

I read the FBI cleared Gen Flynn of any wrong doing so everything the left is putting out there is bogus reporting......If Flynn did NO wrong then he did NOT violate any rules including the Login Act! Time we push back against the FAKE NEWS the bias media keeps throwing out there

Logan Act Background:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act

note the latest entries. Someone needs to update.

The Act was passed following George Logan’s unauthorized negotiations with France in 1798, and was signed into law by President John Adams on January 30, 1799.

The Act was last amended in 1994, and violation of the Logan Act is a felony.

(Anyone know what the amendment did?)

Any thoughts on the proposed revision of 2006?

That one was infuriating! I’d love to see him nailed via Logan.

It’s about time we become a nation of laws. Either enforce them or eliminate them. This business of “saving up” laws to just use them when you want to nail someone is for the birds.

I would also like to see all speed limits bumped by 10 MPH and then enforcement of speeders going 1 mph over. This selective enforcement is for the birds.
