We’re so old we remember when the blue-check mob would frown on this sort of behavior. You know, one President at a time; one Secretary of State at a time … that sort of thing:

THIS IS A CLEAR VIOLATION OF THE LOGAN ACT AND JOHN KERRY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP! (the federal law that “criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized persons with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States“):

Now, we’re being sarcastic, of course. But only because Logan Act Twitter is the best and that the blue-check mob was so quick to scream it at Donald Trump during the campaign:
I'm old enough to remember when they told me the Logan Act was the most important law since Moses came down from the mountain and Mike Flynn had to be tarred and feathered for violating it https://t.co/osfXfschIv

would be funny if Mueller prosecuted him for violating the Logan Act https://t.co/fH4UFtvg0d

Remember when liberals were freaking out about the Logan Act and attacking Trump for things he said after the election? @JohnKerry is literally doing what liberals were pearl-clutching over Trump saying in tweets. cc: @TheJusticeDept https://t.co/u2nKS12Qnr

As we already know, the Trump team interfered with current foreign policy matters in violation of good sense and likely the Logan Act.

This isn’t about the Logan Act. It’s about the appearance of payback to the Russians to reward them for tipping the election to Trump

(THREAD) The evidence will show that Trump Jr. was the key Presidential Transition Team official Flynn received his Russia marching orders from—thus putting him at the center of a plot to violate the Logan Act.

Bombshell: NEW evidence Trump knew Flynn lied to FBI when he fired Comey: McGahn raised issues as to whether Flynn violated false statements law and Logan Act, and “voiced these concerns to Trump after meeting with Yates”! https://t.co/DQs5o8pEWJ

We eagerly await all of the same people in this post going after John Kerry with the same vigor they did Trump. It’s only fair, no?
