Merrick Garland prosecuting Trump under this law would open the eyes of a lot of people who refuse to see what's going on

And that was one of the very clear times that the Logan Act was DEFINITELY violated. His back door dealings with Iran were probably well beyond Logan Act and into the realm of treason.

If Trump has done this, and I hope he has, it will open a HUGE can of worms....by the msm.

The media will spin this as PROOF that Trump is a Russian asset, and that he is in bed with Putin.

Their spin will be total lunacy, but lunacy is eaten alive by the minions in this society !

He'd get blasted for being in bed for Putin. Would be playing into the Democrats and media's hands.

And Vlad knows that, so he would be go along with it.

I was one who poked fun at Griner, I admit it, but am happy that she was released *she was being help on BS charges)

1. They'll try to Logan act him.


2. They'll scream Russian collusion. If Whelan was released for seemingly no return, they'll shriek about what promise Trump made to Putin if he gets re-elected and now that Trump clearly made such an illicit promise, the Russians have a clear incentive to meddle in the 2024 election. Dust off Mueller!

3. They'll label it an in kind campaign contributions from a foreign government. A violation of the foreign contributions ban.

I stand corrected.

However, what a shite show if the lefties oppose the efforts of a former President to gain the release of a U.S. Marine. Especially days after releasing a gun dealer to the country it’s actively engaged with in a war by proxy.

“Here, Russia, take this guy who can return to Moscow and immediately help you in the war you’re fighting against us. Just give us the basketball player who broke your laws and is justifiably imprisoned. And you will like it. C’mon, man! No joke.”

Don't know what the angle is for the Russians, but it wouldn't be a shocker if the Russians let him out on purpose to make Biden look bad (Or to make Trump look buddies with the Russians). Or to just piss off the Deep State.



yeah, I'm old enough to remember the Iranians doing the same thing to Jimmy Carter - this would not be that far of a stretch...

The Logan Act isn't a real law. The kind of stuff one would have to do to be convicted without a constitutional shite show is almost certainly covered by other laws with a bit more bite than a law with a max 3 year sentence that is 0 for 2 on conviction (or even prosecution) in its history.

Prosecuting someone via Logan Act would be on the level of the EBRSO arresting those gay guys a few years ago because "the law is still on the books".


Oh I agree and that absolutely should not prosecute him under that. I was simply clarifying the law.

Negotiating with a foreign power on behalf of the US without state department “approval”. They’d run him up on charges. Only Jimmy Carter is allowed to do stuff like this.

Don’t forget John Kerry and Iran while Trump was in office. The left will definitely go after Trump if this occurs.

So he couldn't get his release as President, but now Putin will give him up for nothing?

Come on man.

Clinton went to North Korea and got back two captured journalist. There is precedent for this.

Putin could play ball with Trump to stir up even more controversy here.
