Ben Rhodes, former deputy national security adviser during the Obama administration, claimed on Monday that “foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden.”
Gen. Mike Flynn, the first national security adviser for President Donald Trump, was prosecuted under an arcane law called the Logan Act for having precisely such communications with foreign leaders before Trump was sworn in. Former Vice President Joe Biden has been accused of suggesting the Logan Act as a pretext for investigating Flynn, although other Obama administration officials claim the idea did not come from Biden.Rhodes said Biden is already talking to foreign leaders during an MSNBC appearance on Monday afternoon:
After the election the ME put their hand out. A Biden administration will be a third term for Zippy and ValJar.

I fervently hope and pray that our TRUE president rights this wrong and starts his second term by shoving it in their faces like an old fashioned pie fight!

Time for FISA to approve wiretaps on joe, his family and all his advisors. This is treason, if true. At least Logan Act stuff.

Good one, #5!
Don’t fret about corruption. I am sure Adam Schiff will be right on it should even a whiff of corruption appear.

They want to talk to him while he still knows what his name is and while there is still money in the checkbook.

The DOJ should be all over this, indicting every one of them. Where is that DOJ lawyer who quit the Flynn case? See if he will prosecute a Democrat.

Will everyone here quit asking where is the DOJ? They have been on the side of the Left for years, if not decades. Same for our vaunted FBI and intel community. We are on our own.

Biden is so befuddled, he sends out planeloads of cash when they bribe him.
People joke about Bide stating he had the "most comprehensive voter fraud" organization in the world, but he said the truth because of his advanced dementia. He's the senile Uncle Junior that the Tony's of the Democrat mob put up to be point man.

Flynn was not prosecuted under the Logan Act. Besides the charges of lying to the FBI, he was accused of not filing as an agent of a foreign country (Turkey).

MD Conservative:
Despite its normalcy, Flynn’s call, which was recorded by the National Security Agency that had been targeting Russian officials, prompted the FBI — under the leadership of then-Director James Comey and Deputy Director Andrew McCabe — to decide to criminally investigate Flynn’s conversations with Kislyak.
Although the mid-2016 FBI investigation into Flynn’s possible corrupt connections to Moscow had been ordered closed for lack of evidence, the FBI manufactured a possible ground of criminality to justify its investigation of Flynn for this call: namely, possible violations of the Logan Act, a 150-year-old law that purports to criminalize attempts by a private citizen to conduct foreign policy at odds with official U.S. foreign policy which (a) has never been used to prosecute anyone; (b) is almost certainly unconstitutional; and (c) has been ignored — properly so — in countless more blatant cases, such as when then-House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi undermined Bush administration policy to isolate Syrian leader Bashar al-Assad for helping Iraqi insurgents kill U.S. troops in Iraq by visiting Assad in 2007, infuriating the Bush White House and leading to frivolous calls from fringe right-wing voices for Pelosi’s prosecution under the Logan Act.

I don't understand the left. Trump has done a really good job on the economy/jobs, cut taxes and the strangulating regulations on businesses ,is making big strides on foreign policy and trade, got us out of wars, and is big on law and order. He's made many people more prosperous. He's even got some companies coming, or thinking of coming, back to do business in this country. The left will not improve on any of these accomplishments, and will probably do worse on all of them, intentionally. Actually, I think I do understand the left. They want to go back to the malaise of the Obama years........for some reason.

To your great glory Father!

Have you heard of the Logan Act, Joe? The same Logan Act that you accused Gen. Flynn of violating?
