Architects of the Iran nuclear deal purportedly admitted to continuing their own foreign policy initiatives
Former officials from the Obama administration are reportedly advising Iran amid escalating tensions with U.S., running an independent foreign policy initiative to counter President Donald Trump.
Journalists Betsy Woodruff and Erin Banco noted that "conversations of this nature sometimes generate" accusations of violating the Logan Act, which prohibits private citizens from engaging in discussions relevant to a U.S. dispute with another country on behalf of the government.
The authors also pointed out "the likelihood that former Obama officials could face such a charge is basically zero percent," given the fact that no one has ever been convicted under the 1799 law
The ex-officials would not answer whether or not they had funneled information from the Iranian government to congressional Democrats, but admitted to educating Democratic members of Congress on their experience working with Iranian leaders.

Well no crap "sometimes" because that is EXACTLY what it is!
The authors also pointed out "the likelihood that former Obama officials could face such a charge is basically zero percent," given the fact that no one has ever been convicted under the 1799 law.
So they are doing it, because even though they know its a violation, they know they probably wont get charged with anything.
Thats like saying you commit crimes because you know you can get away with it, it doesnt stop it from being illegal or a crime.
The absolute arrogance of these people, and disregard for the country and its people is treasonous.

Ahh, so those in the Democrat party are aware that its actively going on huh? Refer back to my first statement on the post.
The Democrats and the left continue to push the envelope, working with enemies of the US , against US interests, all the while screaming that Trump is colluding with Russia.
I have a very very strong feeling that this is a very small part of the smoke and mirrors that is "Collusion Gate". All a mask to hide what is really going on.
This use to be punishable by firing squad.
I wouldnt be sad to see it re-implemented

unfortunately I fear that they are right as too, they wont be brought to justice. Not unless the people demand they be held accountable.

Many officials associated with the deal got a cut of the billions of dollars in bribe money given to Iran.
Now that there's a REAL Sheriff (Trump) and Deputy (Barr) on the world's stage, those officials are afraid of being outed, and prosecuted.

So far I have seen the blaze carrying this, theres a few others, but of course they spin it a completely different way to make it look innocent, without actually addressing the fact that its directly against the interests of the United States and they are not authorized to speak on behalf of our gov

We are not at war with Iran.
The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States.

What's scary about this is, what's keeping the ever increasingly desperate Dems from goading Iran into more and more provocative situations. Like I said I didn't like it when Reagan did it and I dont like it now.

Please educate yourself before spilling out your drivel, it doesnt have to be open war.
However to be honest, I knew it would take less than an hour before you would be on here posting nonsense.
