Team Obama Tells Iran: Don’t Escalate, Don’t Take Trump’s Bait

As the Trump administration sent warplanes and an aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, a small group of former Obama administration officials reached out to their contacts in the Iranian government, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif. Their message to Iran: Don’t take Trump’s bait. Stay calm. Conversations between former Obama officials and Iranian government officials have been ongoing since November 2016. Zarif, who visits the U.S. every year for the U.N. General Assembly in New York, usually meets with lawmakers, think tanks, journalists, and former officials when he is in town. But the recent round of conversations, which took place over the phone and in person over the last two months, came as lines of communication between the U.S. and Iran, through intermediaries in Europe and elsewhere, deteriorated.
The U.S. policy toward Iran—a scorched-earth campaign to crush the country’s economy—took a turn this month when the Trump administration, following new Iranian activity that concerned American intelligence and national-security officials, sent ships and B-52 bombers to the region in a show of force. That move fed fears of military conflict between the two powers.... Separately, some former Obama officials are trying to keep the roots of the Iran nuclear deal alive by taking the pulse of lawmakers on Capitol Hill to gauge whether they are in favor of restarting talks in the future.


~~~~~~
It is obvious that the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA former Obama officials continue to refuse to work with the Trump administration and favor working with foreign belligerents against America. The Logan Act applies only to questionable minor infractions by the Trump administration, not to major violations by Obama or any Democrat. Apparently Trump doesn’t believe the Logan act should be enforced, Obama, Kerry, Clinton, are all guilty. but they're guilty of so much more and still walking wound. Example: Feinstein is still on judicial committee despite withholding Kavanaugh letter over 60 days.
This reminds me of how back in the 1980s, people like Robert McNamara and even former pres. Carter would often go on the Phil Donahue Show to tell us how crazy and misguided Reagan’s stance against the Soviet Union was.
Judging by past experiences, I guess the smart thing to consider when Obama or any of his followers speaks is probably to ignore it, unless of course he or they would appear to be breaking some law. In this case, maybe they need to be hammered and hammered hard with the violation of the Logan Act. That decision, right or wrong, will have to be left with those who have all the details and are in a position to do something about it.

Only the sitting US president and his staff have rights to make any policy decisions. Interfering with the current president is against the law.

It's why Obama's people were discussing secretly, but it came out. They're violating the Logan Act. Trump probably thinks it's time to undo what John Kerry did. If you want peace, prepare for war.

Obama's staff, as reported by Iran's people, are going way beyond just telling them to calm down. they are telling them to wait a few months after they take control of the presidency. WTF How do the think they will have control of the presidency in a few months? What are democrats planning, a bloody coup?
