Lucky for John Kerry that no one has ever been convicted (or even prosecuted since 1852) for violating the 18th-century Logan Act, which bars private diplomacy against US interests.

Because what the former secretary of state has been doing to pressure President Trump against withdrawing from the Iran deal sure looks like a textbook violation.

The Boston Globe reports that Kerry in recent weeks has engaged in “unusual shadow diplomacy” to “apply pressure on the Trump administration from the outside,” holding meetings and phone calls “below the radar” with Iranian and European leaders.

Kerry doesn’t deny the meetings, but claims he’s only been “urging Iran to remain in compliance” to ensure the disastrous deal negotiated on his watch “remains effective.”

We have our doubts: Just a few weeks ago, in fact, he reportedly was urging Palestinian Authority officials to “stay strong and play for time” in hopes Trump will be removed from office.

In neither instance was Kerry representing the US government. On the contrary, he seems to have been doing precisely what the Logan Act expressly forbids: acting “without authority” and communicating with foreign governments “to defeat the measures of the United States.”

This doesn’t mean Kerry should be prosecuted, no matter how despicable his behavior — because, again, the law is a dead letter.

So what if the law has never been successfully applied? It's obvious Kerry is in violation so prosecute the treasonous little cretin.

Kerry, when he was a "Winter Soldier", went to Paris and parlayed with the North Vietnamese. He MAY have been given a DD [No one knows because he never signed a DD Form 18 releasing his records- a subject the press had no interest in], but it appears has date of discharge "honorable" was at variance when he left the service. NOTHING happened to him then, either. He's been dodging the Logan Act all his misreable life.

The Democrats wouldn't hesitate to do a Logan Act indictment were Kerry to be a Republican, if only for the headlines and the joy of harassment. Just consider how they are pursuing the farce of contempt charges against Barr. They are relentless and use any tool at their disposal to attack Republicans. Republicans, meanwhile, appear to be scaredy cats always afraid of their shadows.
