The Republican Candidates love to violate the Logan Act to boost their election odds.
Off the top of my head.
- Nixon’s Madame Chennault convincing South Vietnam President to NOT accept Johnson’s peace proposal. 50,000 dead GI’s and the same terms accepted in Nixon’s term.
- I still feel the Iranian Hostage Crisis was expedited by Reagan’s team with the hostage return delayed by agreement.
- Trump discussions with Putin as a civilian.
Unfortunately, the Logan Act has little teeth and has never been successfully enforced.
