Like
Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State John Kerry apparently enjoys
the immunity from prosecution that being a powerful Leftist brings you
today.
The Boston Globe
revealed Friday that Kerry is working hard to sabotage President
Trump’s foreign policy regarding the Islamic Republic of Iran. Kerry
reportedly “sat down at the United Nations with Foreign Minister Javad
Zarif to discuss ways of preserving the pact limiting Iran’s nuclear
weapons program.”
This was not, apparently, a one-off meeting between Kerry and the foreign minister of the regime that orders its citizens to chant “Death to America”
in mosques every Friday: “It was the second time in about two months
that the two had met to strategize over salvaging a deal they spent
years negotiating during the Obama administration, according to a person
briefed on the meetings.”
Further, the Globe
reported that Kerry has not limited his shadow diplomacy to Zarif:
“[Kerry] also met last month with German President Frank-Walter
Steinmeier, and he’s been on the phone with top European Union official
Federica Mogherini … Kerry has also met with French President Emmanuel
Macron in both Paris and New York, conversing over the details of
sanctions and regional nuclear threats in both French and English.”
Today, Kerry’s spokesperson confirmed the meetings -- but danced around admitting his behavior:
Why? Because John
Kerry must know he has put himself in violation of a never-prosecuted
federal law that only seems to be mentioned when a conservative is
involved -- for example, see what former Acting Attorney General Sally
Yates said about Michael Flynn.
The
Logan Act forbids unauthorized people from engaging in negotiations
with foreign governments that are involved in disputes with the United
States. The Logan Act’s intention is to prevent those unauthorized
negotiations from undermining the position of the U.S. government.
Isn’t that exactly what Kerry is doing? Shouldn’t he be arrested and prosecuted?
He
will not be. Kerry’s deep state peers think he is right, are hoping for
his success, and couldn’t care less about the Logan Act. Just like they
couldn’t care less about the security of classified State Department
documents when they showed up on Anthony Wiener’s laptop next to his
naughty selfies.
Kerry’s
friends who are still employed in the U.S. government won’t be roused to
care about the Logan Act unless one of their own is back in the White
House, and, say, former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo goes around the
world drumming up support for the Trumpian foreign policy that the
neo-Obama in the Oval Office is busy dismantling.
Pompeo
is unlikely to do that, of course, because he, unlike Kerry and others
on the Left, actually respects the law. But were he or some other member
of the Trump administration to do what Kerry is doing now, the media
outcry would be immediate and insistent, calling for the immediate
arrest and prosecution of the perpetrator -- and that arrest would
likely soon follow.
The law in the United States is for the little people, and for conservatives.
Popular culture is obsessed these days with a “white privilege” that extends even to the shampoo bottles in hotels (who knew?). But the most heinous example of privilege in today’s society is one that no one talks about: Leftist privilege.
If
you’re a Leftist and want to start a not-for-profit organization, no
problem. Only conservative organizations got buried in mountains of red
tape and hobbled by unexplained delays by the IRS.
If
you’re a Leftist and start a news website, you’ll have loads of readers
referred to your site from Facebook, Twitter and the rest. Only
conservative sites are being systematically blocked.
If
you’re a Leftist president, you can oversee a corrupt and lawless
administration for eight years and then brag about how your presidency
was “scandal-free.” You won’t hear a murmur of dissent from an
establishment media that worked hard throughout those years to make sure
that as few people as possible knew about your scandals.
And
if you’re John Kerry, you can traverse the globe doing everything you
can to undermine the foreign policy of the United States government,
secure in the confidence that you will not face any consequences at all.
You’re John Kerry. You’re a made man in the Leftist political elite.
You could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue, and awaken the
next morning to adoring headlines in the New York Times and the Washington Post.
God bless,
JohnnyD
