View Full Version : Obama and Clinton Advisors in Syria
Im posting on this site, because this morning on Fox was the first I'd heard of it. If its in the wrong site, I apologise.
The question is (Hopefully one of the Squires here can enlighten me) is this not a violation of the Logan Act?

They are getting a head-start on the Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement.:rolleyes:

The primary question was: Is this a violation of the Logan Act?

." There was no indication in respect of whether Mr. Brzezinski queried the Syrian regime, officially listed by our own State Department as a terrorist-sponsoring state, about the assassination of Hezbollah's Imadh Mugniyah, who was slain by a car-bomb as, according to the Lebanese Broadcasting Channel, he was leaving a ceremony at an Iranian school in Damascus.I only glanced thru the Logan Act...The Logan Act was intended to prohibit United States citizens without authority
from interfering in relations between the United States and foreign governments.
There appear to have been no prosecutions under the Act in its more than 200 year
history. However, there have been a number of judicial references to the Act, and it
is not uncommon for it to be used as a point of challenge concerning dealings with
foreign officials. Although attempts have been made to repeal the Act, it remains law
and at least a potential sanction to be used against anyone who without authority
interferes in the foreign relations of the United States.Stay safe.
