Trump may have violated Logan Act

a reply to: TheAmazingYeti

Once again, Trump's unfiltered mouth reveals his true essence! Good thing it's up to President Obama to decide exactly what classified information he's to be privy to, during this election season.

It'll be fun watching him try to tell us the secrets that he knows......"Believe me, it's YUGE!"

Trump isn't criminal for calling on Russia to expose Clinton emails. If Clinton really has nothing to hide in those deleted emails, then they would cough them up without an order to, but we all know why Clinton deleted them, because they implicate her crimes. Our current administration is so unfathomably corrupt that we need some other country to help "WE THE PEOPLE" expose it for us.
Trump is doing us all a favor and doing the responsible American thing in getting the truth exposed about Clinton's corruption, and that is NOT a crime no matter how you want to twist it.

Actually...

Bill Clinton signed a treaty with Russia so they would be obligated to share any evidence they have in their possession related to matters of US security and vice versa.

If Russia has the emails and declines to turn them over, they would be in violation of Bill Clinton's treaty.

Treaty between the Government of the United States of America and the Russian Federation on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal

Not to mention she was 100% wrong on many counts on what was in the emails she did submit. Not even close to what she said.

So she deletes 30K plus and we are suppose to believe her now nothing was in them. Yeah, nobody would bet a penny on that wager. The odds would exceed a dog being born and speaking perfect English.

What?

So Obama decided Russia would by privy to 20K Hillary emails?

Good to know!

Really? hahaha

So, Bill Clinton signs a treaty FORCING Russia to turn over hacked information.
But Hillary Clinton criticizes Trump for asking them nicely to turn over hacked information? (and he was joking)

oh I have to look into this one some more!

Dems are getting so desperate.

Trump, "I Hope Russia Has Clintons Deleted Emails And Releases Them"

Nice try yeti, well, not really, but this is a FAIL.

Deep breathing helps to ease panic.

How many hours does it take to delete 30,000 e-mails? THIRTY THOUSAND! I cleaned up my Yahoo inbox and it took me almost an hour to get rid of 532 of them. To scan and delete 30,000 would take forever.

Are the emails a National Security issue or not? Can't have it both ways..

Also, Trump didn't ask for the hack, it's already been hacked. He's just saying - hey, if there is any evidence of wrong doing or a violation of national security - let's see it.

This is crazy like middle school.

No. Trump is about to get CLASSIFIED briefings, that fortunately, will be filtered according to what Obama decides is safe to give to Trump and his filterless big mouth!

even if trump was just trying to steal the media from hillary and obama and biden and bloomberg during the DNC, it show tremendous ignorance, arrogance and a person we just don't want representing us

you just don't want a loose canon in the job, plain and simple

this isn't "shaking up washington" this is just stupid

a reply to: Deny Arrogance

LOL! The irony.

Grasping at straws... a sure sign of desperation.

There's no evidence that Hillary's emails were hacked. The FBI pulled ALL deleted emails off her server, but not from auxiliary devices such as Ipads and cell phones, according to the FBI!

What WAS hacked was the DNC! Also, there is evidence that the same hackers, Russians, have also successfully hacked the White House and other federal offices!

This is a serious issue! Remember this? Watergate scandal

That was less of a breach than this recent DNC email breach, and President Nixon had to step down because of it! What if the trail leads to the Trump Campaign? Who's to gain? Follow the "money".

Wouldn't the whole "Enigma" system, which has one country monitor everything on another country and hand it over to the first country, be in violation of the Logan Act as well?

Another thread starting with "Trump may have....." Pretty soon, he'll catch up with the number "Hillary may have...." threads.

Actually Hillary actually HAS...

Dems better watch out.

George McGovern, Jim Wright and Jesse Jackson start the list nicely.
They have all violated it.... actually violated it.

Don't forget bill and Hillary Clinton and the Clinton foundation. Might want to throw obama under the bus as well since he accepted the Nobel Prize and other honouraries from foreign governments.

Why arent left wingers calling for the media to dig for these emails? Because they're fine with lies and corruption as long as they're progressing their agenda.

I don't think the FBI has a legitimate argument for prosecuting any politician for breaking federal law after they failed to recommend indictment of Hillary Clinton over mishandling classified documents.

That's like the old days, this is a new era.

Actually, FBI Director Comey said they were not able to recover all of the emails.

It is also likely that there are other work-related e-mails that they did not produce to State and that we did not find elsewhere, and that are now gone because they deleted all e-mails they did not return to State, and the lawyers cleaned their devices in such a way as to preclude complete forensic recovery.

Also:

But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account.
