re: #78 goddamnedfrank

It’s not going to happen. Technically what they did was kind of violation, sorta, maybe, however the Logan Act is Constitutionally iffy at best. Also, even if the Justice Department was of a mind to charge them the Speech and Debate Clause would be invoked, since I’m fairly certain that they had the letter read into the official record of the current session. Logan is the kind of thing you can threaten an idiotic private citizen with to try and dissuade them from a course of action, but no Administration is ever going to try and apply it to 47 sitting Senators.

Will they be charged? No.

Does the fact they won’t be charged mean they did not behave like treasonous shit weasels? No.
