    I mean trump proved the Logan act is completely toothless, if that’s what you’re alluding to. Obama should do it.

      Toothless until a moment like now where the Right controls our entire government. They’d hang him. Sorry, they’d lynch him.

        The bottom line: While Trump’s actions might be “unseemly,” the history of the Logan Act and the fact that it’s never been legally tested mean that it’s not a “meaningful law” that’s “likely to ever be used, against Trump or anyone else”

        Good enough for me! let’s get to negotiating.

          There’s a first time for everything. And we’ve had a lot of firsts recently.
