Sedition: incitement of resistance to or insurrection against lawful authority--Merriam Webster DictionaryFormer Vietnam War protester, Jane Fonda wingman, failed presidential candidate and Secretary of State John 'Lurch' Kerry is being lambasted for conducting shadow diplomacy with our enemy Iran. The leftist Kerry admitted to multiple meetings with Iranian officials without the knowledge of the Trump administration and even spoke with them about the scrapped nuclear deal.
A Trump administration official told Fox News on Thursday that Kerry's meetings are "shameful," and detailed what Iranian-backed militias are doing to injure and kill civilians in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
Other Republicans suggest Kerry's actions may be illegal.
"John Kerry is out giving advice to Iran about how to maneuver around what Donald Trump is doing, it's insidious," former White House press secretary for George W. Bush, Ari Fleisher told Fox News' "Special Report" on Wednesday." "I don't know if it's legal or illegal, I don't care about that side of it. It's wrong."
It probably depends on exactly what Kerry said at those multiple meetings, but I suspect we'll never know.
Kerry, a daredevil biker and former Massachusetts senator made those comments about his covert meetings with Iran as he promotes his new book, "Every Day is Extra." [But whether or not it has a Forward by James Taylor is unclear.]
Kerry made an appearance on Hugh Hewitt's radio program where he acknowledged meeting with scumcrumpet Iranian Foreign Minister Javad "Death to America" Zarif "three or four times," since leaving office. He admitted to discussing the scrapped nuclear deal and other issues.
"What I have done is tried to elicit from him what Iran might be willing to do in order to exchange the dynamic in the Middle East for the better," Kerry said, without explaining how he is able to put any foreign government/American plan in place since he is not in office and has no influence.
Later that same Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News' "The Daily Briefing" with Dana Perino, the abundantly follicled fool didn't deny the suggestion that he is telling the Iranians to wait out Trump until there is a Democratic president again, who's willing to allow Iran to develop a nuclear weapon.
Then Kerry went all hyperbolic: "I think everybody in the world [he means everybody that counts--Democrats, pro-abortionists, LGBTQIFTKGLM, atheists, illegal aliens and others] is talking about waiting out President Trump."
Kerry will most likely be putting out feelers for a 2020 presidential bid, increasing the possibility that the United States of America will have yet again, an American-hating president.
Kerry has absolutely no business working behind the scenes to undo the president's policies. It was initially reported in May that he met with Zarif to work on preserving the nuclear deal, which the Boston Globe called an "aggressive yet stealthy" mission to put pressure on the Trump administration to keep the deal is some form [in spite of the promise Trump made to the American people to end the deal which helped get him elected].
That same month, Trump announced plans to scrap the deal, declaring that it has failed to halt Iran's nuclear ambitions. Last month the Treasure Department restored sanctions against the terrorist country.
Kerry has violated the Logan Act, but so what? Nobody has ever been prosecuted under the law and Kerry knows that. The act prohibits private citizens [including wealthy ones whose money came from their wife] from negotiating on behalf of the U.S. government without authorization.
In Kerry's case, we should "go for it" and indict the guy.
Some say, however, that indicting Kerry would be hypocritical because Mike Flynn, then-Trump national security adviser, violated the Logan Act for meeting with the Russian ambassador DURING THE TRANSITION. That is clearly a normal procedure for incoming presidents and their staff to do.
So it was a scandal when Flynn met with a"diplomat of a country that has an embassy in DC," as Walid Phares, a Fox News security analyst said, and added that they consider it "normal" when Kerry conducts "parallel diplomacy" with "a regime on the US terror list."
When the reports of Kerry's dealings came out this year, President Trump blasted him for what he termed "possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy."
On Monday Trump tweeted:
"The United States does not need John Kerry's possibly illegal Shadow Diplomacy on the very badly negotiated Iran Deal. He was the one that created this MESS in the first place!"Kerry denied his conversations were inappropriate, but that's because he views America as inappropriate.
Like Obama, Kerry can't stay out of the public limelight.
"Every secretary of state, former secretary of state continues to meet with foreign leaders, goes to security conferences, goes around the world," Kerry said. "We all do that. And we all have conversations (about) the state of affairs with the world in order to understand them."
But they don't do it in secret, Lurch.
