SO this is weird – how the hell is it legal for John frickin’ horseface Kerry to go meet with foreign leaders to try to save the Iran Deal?
From the Boston Globe:
John Kerry’s bid to save one of his most significant accomplishments as secretary of state took him to New York on a Sunday afternoon two weeks ago, where, more than a year after he left office, he engaged in some unusual shadow diplomacy with a top-ranking Iranian official.
He sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear weapons program. It was the second time in about two months that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person briefed on the meetings.
With the Iran deal facing its gravest threat since it was signed in 2015, Kerry has been on an aggressive yet stealthy mission to preserve it, using his deep lists of contacts gleaned during his time as the top US diplomat to try to apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside. President Trump, who has consistently criticized the pact and campaigned in 2016 on scuttling it, faces a May 12 deadline to decide whether to continue abiding by its terms.
I can see him negotiating with Iran right now. “If you can get us more billions of dollars for terrorists, stomp your hoof twice, John!”
According to the Boston Globe, he met with the FRENCH, the Germans, and the European Union in what HAS TO BE a frickin’ Logan Act violation right? Of course, Trump supporters have been whining that it’s not a real law and it’s unfair to apply to Manafort and others in the Trump sphere. I’m sure they’ll change their minds if someone can slap Kerry with it… #MAGA!!
