Donald Trump has been accused of violating federal law by allegedly calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ceasefire deal the U.S. is helping negotiate between Israel and Hamas.
The former president allegedly made the call on August 14, according to Axios, which cited two unnamed “U.S. sources who were briefed on the call.”
…
If Trump did make the call, he would potentially be breaking the law as the Logan Act, enacted in 1799, prohibits unauthorized private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the U.S.
American Muckrakers, an organization that states it seeks to hold politicians and officials accountable, has filed a request with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State.
Just put it on the shelf right next to other shit no one will prosecute him for.
When you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.
This is his entry fee to the white house … in Saint Petersburg in Russia.
Ah man. I can only wish that the Orange Idiot and Netanyahu somehow, eventually, reap what they’ve been sowing for decades now. Not holding my breath of course, but the amount of schadenfreude I’d feel would probably verge on orgasmic.
Good
This means hell run the whole, “Only I had the balls to blah blah blah”
And if the democrats want to continue their strong run, they’ll have to be on top of action toward it as well. He’s a useful idiot sometimes.
Nixon and Reagan did it, this is normal for a GOP presidential candidate.
The bullshit will continue until consequences are enforced.

A certain someone complains constantly that they’re censored by “Zionists” but even calling them out for their bad faith bs will often get your comments removed…
I’m certain once they’re done screeching about how awful the Dems are in today’s Dem threads, they will then make time to screech in this one. Right?
But of course! They’re always criticizing Trump’s policy on Israel/s
Wouldn’t it be nice if the self-proclaimed party of law and order would see that Trump ends up in prison where he belongs - and not in the white house?
what infuriates me is that eventually if he ends up in prison one way or another, they will all negate even knowing the guy, and act all ignorant of all the atrocities. the same happended here in chile with our dictator and people to this day defend him. one of the biggest defender of the dictator is going to run for president next year and to this day hasn’t recognized her role in the civil - military dictatorship that killed and imprisoned thousands of Chileans… really they act as if it never happened. it will be the same after good ol don is dead or in prison
will he get MASSIVE nothing as a consequence this time?!
The man literally stood three feet away from Putin, and bent the knee. Live, on television.
The man invited Russian operatives into the White house months into his term, and kicked out his entire staff so the meeting would not be recorded, and has admitted to giving them all sorts of information.
He received exactly zero punishment for that. He was never even investigated for that. And then there’s the Ukraine situation, which again…he received exactly zero punishment for.
There’s no reason to believe this will go anywhere either. Multiple levels of the US court system, up to and including the Supreme Court, have not only shown that Donald Trump gets a different system of justice than most people, but they have no appetite for holding Trump to account at all.
We need to pass a law that says that a judge must recuse himself if the case involves the person who appointed them, or someone with a relationship to that person. And this includes everything from the 3 stooges at the Supreme Court that constantly interfere on Trump’s behalf every time he’s in legal jeopardy to Kentaji Brown Jackson recusing herself if the Supreme Court hears a case about something that Biden signed into law. This is 2024. It would take me about 5 minutes to come up with some code that would randomly assign a judge to a case while also ensuring that someone involved in the case isn’t the person who appointed them. And my coding skills are about 20 years out of date.
perfect call, it was perfect… everybody says so. it’s actually way, way better than perfect, way higher than 100 percent perfection…
Sounds like good enough reason for Biden to execute the official act clause, and have Dementia DonOLD the weird racist rapist with 34 felonies hanged.
See now there is something. Maybe not hanged, but detained and cut off so he can’t subverting the government seems pretty reasonable as an official act. Just have him acquired and sent to a black site without telling the public. I am sure the patriot act covers that somehow. And when it eventually gets out, it was an official act to protect the cease fire negotiations.
Reagan did the same thing with Iran. Nobody blinked.
Well at least they got Ollie North on that one. Unless some Republican pardons him…OH WAIT.
He did, but I think it only came to light after his brain was soup. Unless I am wrong and carter was aware earlier.
New bits of evidence have been popping up over the decades, seemingly last in 2020. Much of the physical evidence has been long destroyed, and most of the people involved are now dead and gone and I wouldn’t call many of the people with supposed first-hand accounts reliable people to begin with. I just read through this article to refresh myself on the details and to see the latest updates.
The personal accounts and evidence we do have doesn’t leave much room for the truth to be anything but that the Reagan/Bush campaign was involved, and that Daddy Bush likely had enough evidence he should have turned over to prove it, but today we would still likely not have enough to convict anyone, especially in the current political scene. There wasn’t much there about if Reagan himself was involved, the story made it sound as if he didn’t, but everyone around him certainly did. I don’t feel that negates him from responsibility for his people’s actions, but I do feel that is a difference worth mentioning.

People also used to rape their slaves. Times change. Maybe we start holding our ruling class to a higher standard. Perhaps being a shitstain on humanity should be met with disapproval.
And Nixon did the same with Vietnam.
Being an opportunistic, amoral psycho who works to undermine the safety of Americans is practically a Republican presidential tradition at this point.
Facilitated by Kissinger just for some extra crime on the cake
Dude sure does love his “perfect” phone calls
