The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes the negotiation of a dispute between the United States and a foreign government by an unauthorized American citizen.
The sad little orange man violated this act, as he is currently not in a position to negotiate with a foreign power. The punishment is a fine and jail time. "Lock him up!" (Sorry couldn't help it)
What does this make this? His 92 charge?
Why anyone would excuse this behavior is so far beyond the pale…
So what did he do? Here's the story about how he talked with Netanyahu about a ceasefire and prisoner release, which (and I can not stress this enough HE CAN NOT DO):
WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump spoke on the phone with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday and discussed the Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal, Axios reported, citing two U.S. sources.
One source told Axios Trump's call was intended to encourage Netanyahu to take the deal, but stressed he did not know if this is indeed what the former president told Netanyahu. The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
