Trump doesn’t appear to be letting up on Senator Chris Murphy about his secret meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister, Zarif last week and whether or not he violated the Logan Act.
As he does with most things, Trump dragged Murphy in an exchange with Tom Fitton on Twitter:
Kerry & Murphy illegally violated the Logan Act. This is why Iran is not making a deal. Must be dealt with strongly! https://t.co/RpTW9c09ZY

Notice, Trump did not tag Chris and yet he responded which means he’s either searching his name or someone told him.
Iran restarted their nuclear program, fired at our troops, upped support for proxies. Your Iran policy is a disastrous failure.
And FYI I’m the Ranking Member on the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee on the Middle East. It’s literally my job to meet with regional leaders. https://t.co/9z0wNvfxC5

Chris seems defensive and nervous.
And seriously, is it ‘literally’ his job to hold these meetings in SECRET?
C’mon, Chris.
Give us a break.
Uh Chris, they never stopped their nuclear program. Now tell us about how the Obama/Kerry foreign policy was so good that Iran boarded a US Navy vessel and took our sailors prisoner.

I guess the law only applies to Republicans

Yet here you are going behind @realDonaldTrump’s back, your President, and @SecPompeo, your Sec State, to undermine American policy. That makes you, @ChrisMurphyCT a traitor. #LoganAct

It literally isn’t. But who would expect you to understand the Constitution and separation of powers?

It's unfortunate how he put National security at risk by secretly cutting a deal to benefit Iran. He's a disgrace to our country

Without anyone knowing about it?

According to Chris Murphy, this is what a successful Iran policy looks like pic.twitter.com/SpvlZ2UZoI

I hope meeting in secret with a country that hates the US was worth it. You hate this President more than you love this country.

Weren't you just over there being a traitor to the US?

Time flies when you’re a hypocritical, lying political hack.
