Ryfkin claims Pelosi Violated Logan Act (MSNBC)

[JCMach1]

What's worse, MSNBC played echo chamber... there was no opposing view presented. He was not challenged on his idea.

This is obviously the latest GOP talking point...


...Why would Pelosi and her supporting and ongoing leftist Democrat-sponsored attempted coup of the US presidency engage in such right-next-to-treasonous (and in defiance of the 1799 Logan Act) behaviors? I believe there is a very simple, if not atrocious, answer. Just as Democrats (and some RINOs) work diligently to garner the votes of illegal aliens, Ms. Pelosi seems bound and determined to now win the hearts and minds-and votes-of the terrorist factions within the USA... http://www.postchronicle.com/commentary/article_21273611.shtml

1. It's Easter--no one is watching that shit. Democrats are the real family values types

Why give up a holiday with family to argue with an asshat? Let them spout. I'm betting the ratings are pretty low today.

7. Story is not the same... just an echo of the same live talking points

Ryfkin, I believe, was former DOJ official.

6. Do they violate the Logan Act?

From Wikipedia

Nothing in section 953 , however, would appear to restrict members of the Congress from engaging in discussions with foreign officials in pursuance of their legislative duties under the Constitution.

10. No

"Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States..."

Nancy Pelosi, in her official capacity, IS the United States. As much as George Bush is.
