All of this matters not only because of the perniciousness of the Logan Act, but also because of what it says about Trump-era liberal-left politics. That the Logan Act is a dangerously vague and unconstitutional statute was, until quite recently, a consensus among US liberals.pic.twitter.com/4929cu95tO

Recall in 2015 when liberal law professors and Dem Party activists demanded that Tom Cotton and 46 other GOP Senators be prosecuted under the Logan Act for their Open Letter to Iran. How does that square with
@IlhanMN's claim that it doesn't bar one-sided communications??pic.twitter.com/uHaVKFFbdi

Once you start arrogating unto yourself the right to use authoritarian and lawless methods, and to align behind repressive institutions CIA and FBI, you become exactly what you started off believing you were fighting. The Logan Act is repressive in part because of how vague it is

Anyone who values the right to dissent from US foreign policy should be doing nothing on the Logan Act other than what Ted Kennedy did for all those years (and what many conservative commentators now do): demand its full and immediate repeal. Jarring to see
@IlhanMN defend it.Show this thread - End of conversation

Flynn was investigated as part of Crossfire Hurricane, not because of a Logan Act violation.
