Gen. Keane: 'Pretty Outrageous Behavior' by John Kerry in Meeting With Iranians [VIDEO]

[The Purge]

President Trump accused former Secretary of State John Kerry Thursday of violating the Logan Act by meeting with Iranian officials last year.

"You know, John Kerry speaks to them a lot, and John Kerry tells them not to call. That's a violation of the Logan Act, and frankly he should be prosecuted on that," Trump said at the White House.

Trump argued that if a Republican were doing the same thing to a Democratic president, charges would be brought.

This treasonous son of a bitch should have been arrested long ago. Do we or do we not have laws?
John Kerry. Undermining the USA since 1971.

 

[MarathonMike]

Kerry is the definition of a traitor. That fucking guy has been throwing America and Americans under the bus since his Vietnam days.

 

[easyt65]

Next time he goes to Iran and tries to fly back, take his passport and don't let him get on the plane...

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Kerry needs to go to prison.

 

[easyt65]

He needed to a long time ago...

FYI- Kerry has not spoken with the Iranians since Pres Trump pulled out of the Iran Deal....

President Trump is a liar, and always tries to blame others, Democrats, for HIS OWN short comings, lawlessness, and failures.... and his minions, you all, seem to always be there to hold the fragile, lying man up.... why you all consistently do that, I have no idea??



Facts First: Putting aside Trump's charge against Kerry, which Kerry flatly denies, here's what you need to know about the Logan Act. The act was established in 1799 and makes it a felony for individuals who are not authorized by the US government to negotiate with foreign governments which have disputes with the US. Though the term has been thrown around as an accusation several times this century -- and has been used more than once by Trump to attack Kerry -- there have been few cases when someone has been indicted for violating the act. These cases took place in the 1800s and no one was ever convicted.
Since the act's creation, correspondence and interaction between Americans -- lawmakers, former lawmakers, and citizens alike -- has become increasingly common.
It's also common for former secretaries of states and diplomats to stay in touch with their counterparts around the world.
Last year, before the administration decided to pull out of the deal, the Boston Globe reported that Kerry was taking part in meetings with big players in Iran, meetings which were promptly criticized by the Trump administration. However, last October, Kerry told reporters that he had not met with Iranians since the US pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal in May 2018 and had seen Iran's foreign minister at a few international security meetings.
Trump alleged that Kerry "is talking to Iran and has been. He's had many meetings and phone calls and he's telling him what to do."
But Matt Summers, a spokesman for Kerry, said in a statement that Trump's claim "is simply wrong, end of story."
"He's wrong about the facts, wrong about the law, and sadly he's been wrong about how to use diplomacy to keep America safe. Secretary Kerry helped negotiate a nuclear agreement that worked to solve an intractable problem. The world supported it then and supports it still. We'd hope the President would focus on solving foreign policy problems for America instead of attacking his predecessors for theater," Summers said.
A source close to the former secretary of state said Kerry hasn't talked with Iranian officials since President Trump announced the US was pulling out of the Iran deal last year.
Prior to the withdrawal, the source said Kerry did communicate with the Iranians to urge them to stay in the deal.
The source also denied that Kerry ever discouraged the Iranians from talking to Trump. At the time, the source said, Kerry urged everyone on all sides to talk and use diplomacy.

Responding on "Fox News @ Night," Gen. Jack Keane (Ret.) said the meetings were "pretty outrageous behavior" by Kerry

"Kerry disagrees with [Trump's] foreign policy and is absolutely undermining it with a foreign government. Not just a foreign government, but an adversary of the United States since 1980," said Keane, a Fox News senior strategic analyst

But the Boston Globe apparently can... Are you insinuating that the distinguished newspaper from Taxachusetts would print a fabrication?
