Trump Suggests John Kerry’s Meetings with Iran ‘Big Violation of Logan Act’

President Donald Trump challenged former Secretary of State John Kerry Monday for speaking to Iranian leaders as they struggle with tough policies from the Trump administration.

“Iran is being given VERY BAD advice by John Kerry and people who helped him lead the U.S. into the very bad Iran Nuclear Deal,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “Big violation of Logan Act?”

In 2018, Kerry admitted meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif “three or four times” to discuss Obama’s signature nuclear deal with Iran that Trump ripped up.

“What Secretary Kerry has done is unseemly and unprecedented,” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in reaction to the news. “This is a former secretary of state engaged with the largest state sponsor of terror.”

The Logan Act criminalizes unauthorized negotiations between American citizens and foreign governments who have disputes with the United States.

@6:19 are you that naive and gullible?? What f'ing business does our government have in negotiating with a terrorist nation?? Obama and Kerry clearly financially supported a terrorist threat to the world's stability. 150 BILLION dollars? What f'ing idiot in their right mind would do that?

Prosecute him, then put in in Federal Super Max. Hopefully, the first of many.

Maybe Kerry just went to see if they had need for more money in case a dem should win in 2020.

Nancy Pelosi did the same when she made a statement the "United States will not..." In reference to Berxit and Ireland. She spoke as if she was the Commander-in-Chief. What was she doing in London on official business during the Easter holiday on taxpayers dime?
