Fox says Flynn will testify Rump ordered him to break the law!

Sorry, not buying that. The incoming President has a right to discuss policy and to set relations. I think you are stretching quite a bit to put this under the logan act.

SO you don't think the Logan Act applies to President Elects?

He does not have the right to tell Flynn to ask Russians to hold back on a reaction to sanctions... which is what Flynn is saying. Remember they likely have audio of these calls. That would be a crime.

sure he does! He can arm twist the Russians -and this was also a pattern of 12 other countries.

It's obvious he was discussing policy, and asking them to hold off until he was in office,
and not react to Obama's last minute shenanigans

To you, somehow that does not violate the Logan Act?
 
If the phone calls were not illegal, why lie to the F.B.I about them? Why lie to Pence about them?

To answer more directly... no, I do not. They have the right to discuss and prepare foreign governments for the policies and procedures they plan to take.

When is the last time someone was even prosecuted for the Logan act?
When was the last time someone was convicted under the Logan act?
 
I was going to write that this is a horrible day to be a Republican, but that's just any day. Trump is going down!

He was not a private citizen until sworn in?

are you suggesting that no other President elect has talked with foreign governments prior to being sworn in? Yes he was technically still a private citizen, but at the same time he was a part of the incoming elected administration. You are trying to split hairs. There is a reason we haven't seen anyone prosecuted the Logan act in over 100 years.

So a law is not valid unless someone is prosecuted for it or convicted... Wow, Ill add that to my closing arguments, I wish they had taught me that in law school!

So he was technically guilty of the Logan Act or not?
