Sen. Chris Murphy on Tuesday defended a weekend meeting he held with Iran's foreign minister in Europe, after his actions were questioned in conservative media and as President Donald Trump suggested they may have violated U.S. law.
The Connecticut Democrat said his Saturday meeting with Mohammed Javad Zarif was important because it is 'dangerous not to talk to one's enemies.'
Murphy said he wanted to see Zarif because there has been no U.S. diplomatic channel with Iran since Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal two years ago.

Violated Federal law so why is he not punished and put in prison?
ReplyDeleteIt is not for our senators to set, make or conduct diplomatic contact with any foreign country without being explicitly asked to do so. In my opinion he committed treason by contacting a foreign nation hostile to this country! There is no gray line here.

It is quite obvious that to be a Democrat, you must always THINK you know everything an everyone else knows nothing.
ReplyDeleteEither that or they are just a bunch of crooks!!!
I think congress is immune from being prosecuted while in office, I hope with the exception of treason. Now you know why most of congress try's to stay in for life.....because their life depends on it. There should be a list for each member so we can see who and what to charge them with when they dont get re-elected.
ReplyDeleteThat is called UNDERMINING the authority of the POTUS. Period.
ReplyDeletePut that POS against a wall.
You love the US Government - don’t you?
DeleteGeez
What has the government done for you other than steal half your income and enforce unconstitutional Statutory Laws against you?
Murphy you are a total hypocrite...so it's ok to talk to the enemy IF you're a corrupt DEM, but not ok for POTUS to talk to Putin. Good grief man, how stupid is that...we the people have your number and there should be some accountability for what you did.

ReplyDeleteFor your own good, you really, really need to move to some other country where you agree with the laws (and taxes). There are laws and taxes in every country. Good Luck!
