You see, what's funny is that you do not deny he is meeting there, but because Hillary Clinton's office denied she attended on a previous year, I am fairly certain if you call his office they will most definitely say he is not there.

His attendance is proof
So you have zero proof of the silly claim, thank you for trolling

I have no idea if Hillary Clinton was there or not as I haven't been keeping up with who goes and who doesn't (not individually, at least). I know heads of state, and heads of global corporations, attend. My whole issue with this thread is that to be in violation of the Logan Act, Mr. Gates had to have actually negotiated something with another country or countries on behalf of the U.S. Nobody has yet posted exactly what has been negotiated. All that has been "proven" is that he is there. No law has been violated.

Yeahhh, ummm about that.
Try not to use "Scare em all Al Jones" as a source.
Gates has broken no law, even if there were multiple head of state type figures there, this meeting is nothing more than a conference.
If gates has broken the law, I would suggest anytime an unauthorized person spoke to a head of state of another country was guilty.
So, try not to listen to Al, he's out for himself and nobody else.

What part of attendance does not equal negotiating don't you understand?

You're right, he's not negotiating, he's taking orders. I guess this isn't a violation of the Logan act, it's a violation of the laws against treason (which is written into the Constitution, the only American law on the books).
Dang it Alex Jones, you were wrong again! It's not a violation of the Logan Act, it's an act of treason.
Man, Alex Jones is always trying to sugar coat everything.
Although that was actually Aaron Dykes and Paul Joseph Watson saying that.
I'm sure Alex knows treason is the real violation here.

It is called a conference...
Shall we confer about candy bars?
If you were from another country, "Scare em all Al Jones" would say we broke the wolverine law or whatever.
Or if I ever went to England and said Hey to the queen, I guess I'd be guilty again.
Didn't you catch on that "Scare em all Al Jones" stretches the truth just....abit, ok alot.
