Why Kerry isn’t being prosecuted under the Logan Act is beyond me. Oh wait, I forgot who the current Attorney General is. Nevermind…
18 U.S. Code § 953 – Private correspondence with foreign governments
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.
For the same reason that nobody has ever been prosecuted under it. Prosecutors know that the first time it’s brought into any court it will be struck down, and they don’t want that.

This is Kerry’s m.o.
The Dem party puts up with this and defends this. They did so when Obama said this to the Russian.
In a way, Kerry is playing an agent of a foreign government. Is his security clearance active. Brennan sure fell off the radar didn’t he?
But,But? he has ketchup behind him??
Kerry or Romney? Perhaps both….
A. F. Your political commentary is so spot on! You hit the nail on the head every time! Thank you!
