People may be overconfident that the judge is going to simply go along with this. Prosecutorial discretion gets wide berth in charging decisions, but here the court is involved. It took a sworn admission of guilt. Maybe I'm alone here, but I'm not so sure the judge signs off.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1259223916398206976 …
My article explained why I think they were stretching to claim that they should continue a counterintel investigation in that situation; the fact that they were citing the Logan Act is proof of what a stretch it was at that point. You can keep pretending I've not discussed it.

Your article and tweet suggest that citation of the Logan Act shows they had run out of reasons to investigate the counterintelligence angle.
@Susan_Hennessey's piece shows they had not. Screenshot #1 is amply refuted by screenshot #2.pic.twitter.com/OAwcvPsf23

And this tweet is very likely to be replied to by reference to some irrelevancy to *this* discussion, such as "we were talking about the 1001 proposal" or whatever. Shock me by actually replying to the argument Susan made. If you don't, I'm out.

An FBI with confident counterintelligence justification would not have been dabbling in Logan Act nonsense. The appearance of that in the notes gives the game away that they were grasping.
