Donald Trump has been accused of violating federal law by allegedly calling Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the ceasefire deal the U.S. is helping negotiate between Israel and Hamas.
The former president allegedly made the call on August 14, according to Axios, which cited two unnamed “U.S. sources who were briefed on the call.”
…
If Trump did make the call, he would potentially be breaking the law as the Logan Act, enacted in 1799, prohibits unauthorized private citizens from negotiating with foreign governments on behalf of the U.S.
American Muckrakers, an organization that states it seeks to hold politicians and officials accountable, has filed a request with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of State.
Republicans and ratfucking peace talks during an inhumane war of territorial expansion to make their political opponent look bad. Name a more iconic duo.
That’s completely unfair, you couldn’t name one two seven…let’s go with seven other examples of that!

Until I see a picture of Trump behind bars I will continue to assume he will continue to get away with everything forever.
The only truthful thing he has ever said was “I could shoot someone on 5th Ave and not lose supporters.”
Implied is that he also wouldn’t get arrested for it.
Tie his bullshit with the recent articles about the pathetic FBI being afraid to go after Republican domestic terrorists and it’s just beyond absurd. “Home of the brave” my ass.
I believed for a couple of months that the us justice system wasn’t completely compromised, but I was stupid to do so.
People said he wouldn’t be prosecuted, and he was.
People said he wouldn’t get indicted, and he was.
People said he wouldn’t get convicted, and he was.
Now we’re waiting on sentencing and carrying out that sentence, and people say that won’t happen, either.
The justice system is slow, especially at the federal level. Some of that is due to deliberation, some of that is due to federal judges having too high of a case load, and some of that is due to the fact that Trump is a former President, and prosecutors and judges have to handle that very carefully. If acquitted, that’s it, prosecutors rarely have grounds for appeal. They need to walk into the court room with an airtight case.
If you follow other federal cases, this kind of timeline is completely expected.
Except for Judge Cannon. She’s just blatantly pulling things in Trump’s favor. The rest are doing their job. Edit: oh, and the Supreme Court, of course. They just fucked a lot of things.
Except for Judge Cannon (…) Edit: oh, and the Supreme Court, of course.
So what I’m hearing is… he’s getting away with everything forever?
Look on a more serious note, I do think if he fails to become president again his luck probably has run out. The bad news is, between winning legitimately and stealing the election through House vote, Trump still is probably odds even to become president again - if not better.
I know there is a chance sentencing and carrying out of it happens before the election, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
If the USA had the balls to enforce the laws as they have in the past this idiot would be executed for treason. Turns out fascism is a great tool you can use to avoid consequences as the State shudders at the terrorist following you’ve gathered and refuses to take action.
Dear right-wing dipshits who like to use the name Genocide Joe. Your orange turd wanna be emperor is actively sabotaging ceasefires and potential peace of said-genocide just to make current administration look bad. Donnie Death
Right wingers don’t call him Genocide Joe, they LOVE the Palestinian deaths. It’s the “he’s not far enough left” people like .ml folks who use the name Genocide Joe
Of course a mask off MAGA will say not enough people are being killed. But what’s the difference between what a farthest left .ml leftist would write and what a MAGA cosplaying as a leftist would write? Genuinely curious how to tell them apart.
The man literally stood three feet away from Putin, and bent the knee. Live, on television.
The man invited Russian operatives into the White house months into his term, and kicked out his entire staff so the meeting would not be recorded, and has admitted to giving them all sorts of information.
He received exactly zero punishment for that. He was never even investigated for that. And then there’s the Ukraine situation, which again…he received exactly zero punishment for.
There’s no reason to believe this will go anywhere either. Multiple levels of the US court system, up to and including the Supreme Court, have not only shown that Donald Trump gets a different system of justice than most people, but they have no appetite for holding Trump to account at all.
We need to pass a law that says that a judge must recuse himself if the case involves the person who appointed them, or someone with a relationship to that person. And this includes everything from the 3 stooges at the Supreme Court that constantly interfere on Trump’s behalf every time he’s in legal jeopardy to Kentaji Brown Jackson recusing herself if the Supreme Court hears a case about something that Biden signed into law. This is 2024. It would take me about 5 minutes to come up with some code that would randomly assign a judge to a case while also ensuring that someone involved in the case isn’t the person who appointed them. And my coding skills are about 20 years out of date.
