      I mean trump proved the Logan act is completely toothless, if that’s what you’re alluding to. Obama should do it.

        Toothless until a moment like now where the Right controls our entire government. They’d hang him. Sorry, they’d lynch him.

          The bottom line: While Trump’s actions might be “unseemly,” the history of the Logan Act and the fact that it’s never been legally tested mean that it’s not a “meaningful law” that’s “likely to ever be used, against Trump or anyone else”

          Good enough for me! let’s get to negotiating.

        Obama is one of the “good guys,” not because he opposes Trump, but because he cares about what’s legal.
