The Witchcraft of Treason

His(Donald John Trump) is not the temperament of a stable, thoughtful leader. His imagination must not be married to real power. Trump is a phony, a fraud whose promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers. He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat. - Mitt Romney, March 2016

In the past few days, the Moron Idiot has taken to his only affordable and effective vice principle, that which arouses the Trumpism base and we hear shots fired across the bow, targeting John Kerry. This is in anticipation of the Moron’s gift of gab lunacy speech scheduled for today, wherein we will find out what Mitt meant by “Trump’s imagination must not be married to real power.” Yes, today we hear the New Deal Iran Plan. Or, Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan, why isn’t he in jail? Now when I mentioned Trump’s “vice”, it is a doubled edged sword, as those that believe the Moron Idiot label is a righteous defining obligation, they also get tangled up in this “We all tweet in a twitter submarine” phenomenon. So, when John Kerry supposedly went out of his way with no authority to do so to try and save the Iran nuclear deal he cherished while Secretary of State under Barack Obama, Trump chastised this as “unwanted interference”. And his base went nuts and all of a sudden we have 62-million experts in the field of “Treason”, with respect to the “Logan Act” and a possible violation by Mr. Kerry - for getting involved. Now according to this "Logan Act" as it resides today on the law books of record ever since 1799:

§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

So, no wonder the Moron Idiot’s base is up in arms and calling for John Kerry to be waterboarded by Gina when she takes over as the CIA chief. But herein is wherein we loose touch with reality - OK, this is not a reality show. Now just a few weeks ago, the GOP majority “House of Representatives” signed off on its House  Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Report, upon what it did not find with how, when, where and why the Vladimir Portnoy Putin regime interfered with the 2016 election. Remember, this was the GOP report which sided with “No Collusion”, yet the Mueller Investigation rambles on. And low and behold what was found under Recommendation #18 with this Republican majority report:

{U) Recommendation #18: Congress should consider repealing the Logan Act.

(U) Congress passed the Logan Act and President Adams signed it into law on January 30, 1799. Broadly stated, the Logan Act prohibits U.S. citizens to influence any foreign government vis-à-vis any disputes that government may have with the United States. It provides a punishment of a fine and three years' imprisonment.

{U} Over the course of the Act's more than 200-year history, there has never been a conviction for its violation, and there have only been a handful of indictments that never reached trial.

(U) Despite its demonstrated disuse, the law has gained occasional congressional interest. In 1978, Senator Ted Kennedy unsuccessfully sought to remove the Logan Act. In 1980, Congressman and former House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Anthony Beilenson, introduced legislation to repeal the Logan Act, stating that the primary use of the Logan Act was to provide for "periodic calls for prosecution motivated by opposition to the cause being expressed instead of actual concern about treason." In 1994, Congress updated-the Logan Act by changing the $5,000 fine to "shall be fined under this title."

{U) Due to the lack of prosecutions under the Logan Act and despite the various apparent violations since its passage, Congress should evaluate, the law's utility and consider repealing it.

Let's REPEAL that LAW!

A few weeks back a few tweets back, the Moron Idiot had his brain cap on and texted something to the effect, “Learn before you speak, it’s easy”. Wow, maybe there is hope. But that “Learn” appears to be the missing link with his base, as when the GOP recommends a repeal of a law…I wonder why during the GOP “House of Nunes” investigation it found an interest in getting rid of a law that protected this nation from citizens interfering with, well “Treason”? Shot across the bow? More like in the foot! And Witch Hunt, with GOP Witchcraft.
