Has the GOP violated the Logan Act? Hell yes.

If you’re not familiar with the Logan Act, which was been around since the end of the Eighteenth Century, it says this:


Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.


Every politician who signed the letter to Iran telling them (falsely) that any anti-nuclear agreements they made with Obama would be set aside once he left office has violated the Logan Act and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
