Jared Kushner just flagrantly violating the Logan Act multiple times. Will anything come of it? Doubtful.

    Yeah I get what you’re saying now. The gun and the place to stay aren’t enough on their own. That’s not what you said earlier. Likewise trying to conduct diplomacy as a private citizen is both A and B. The conspiracy to interfere with the elected will of the people and actually doing so.

      “Interfering with the elected will” is not a crime.

      If it were, all protests would be illegal.

          That’s like saying “homosexuality is a crime in Texas, because a law against it exists”.

          If nobody will enforce a law that’s obviously unconstitutional, then that law de facto does not exist.

              No, but that would explain why literally no prosecutor has enforced this law in over 150 years.
