John Kerry Meets With Iran, Other Foreign Leaders to Save Nuke Deal

The NY Post reported that John Kerry secretly met with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and spoke on the phone with top EU official Federica Mogherini in an attempt to save the nuclear deal, which is absolutely counter to the position of the Trump administration. The Boston Globe called it “unusual shadow diplomacy” – not so much, as he has done it before. Make no mistake, John Kerry is no longer Secretary of State and has no authority whatsoever to negotiate for the United States.

Kerry’s actions are a violation of the Logan Act, which unfortunately for us or fortunately for him is a “dead law.” The Logan Act has not been enforced, which would have made solid charges for Kerry, and a few other unauthorized ‘representatives’ according to Alan Dershowitz in the Washington Examiner.

“He is negotiating, though he is not in the administration, and there are real problems with doing that…John is a friend of mine. I’ve known him for a long, long time. But remember how this investigation against Trump begins. It begins by the theory that people in the Trump campaign may be violating the Logan Act, by going and speaking to people when they haven’t yet been president.” Alan Dershowitz

John Kerry was previously accused of such acts before during the Vietnam War when he met with North Vietnamese leaders and signed a “symbolic peace treaty” with them, according to American Thinker in 2008.
