John Kerrys bid to save one of his most significant accomplishments as secretary of state took him to New York on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, where, more than a year after he left office, he engaged in some unusual shadow diplomacy with a top-ranking Iranian official.
He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Irans nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.
With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside. President Trump, who has consistently criticized the pact and campaigned in 2016 on scuttling it, faces a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue abiding by its terms.

Charge him, now. This yahoos need to be shown who is in charge and that we aren’t afraid of enforcing the law.
John Kerry should move to Iran.
Immediately and permanently.
That gives him the best chance of having a front-row seat when Ezekiel 38 happens.
He can get a Participant Trophy.
Has this ever been done before—where a former Sec. of State tries to block efforts of a new administration?!
He and his Iranian son-in-law must have a lot of $$$$$$ riding on this deal!
God I can't stand these arrogant, seditious, liberals. I really wish there were serious repercussions. No respect for the rule of law. No respect for our country. Zero integrity.
Btw. I love your questions
Really?
On whos behalf?
Exactly
What is the Hatch Act? I’m aware of the Logan.
Logan act for sure but no one in our Judciary has the stones apparently to charge him.

Sessions will get right on it after the Mueller investigation concludes with criminal charges against DJT and after he returns from his undisclosed private tropical island get away.
OMG! What a great cartoon!!! And so true!! Love the little baby with the dynamite vest. Just perfect!
He is still working for Obama who is working for the Iranians.
John Kerry never does anything quietly.
That’s it in a nutshell.
yep
Charge and cuff him.
I thought the MSM was going to impeach President Trump for a so called Logan Act violation that occurred when he was President-elect.
I think we all know what his last words would be: Did you know I was in Vietnam?
They were going for a record. First person convicted under the Logan Act.
My mistake.. The Hatch Act prevent Executive Branch employees other than the President and VP from engaging in political work.
Isn’t a private citizen conducting diplomacy with a foreign power a criminal offense?
From the time he came back from meeting with North Vietnamese Communists at the Paris Peace Talks - to speak in Congress advocating their positions...
Till the time he went to meet with Nicaragua's Communist leader Ortega, taking his side against Ronald Reagan opposing their Communist takeover of all Central America..
And when it concerned every foreign enemy of America since, he's always spoken and acted in behalf of America's enemies.
Weren’t we repeatedly told this is a felony under the Logan Act?????
