In reply to Aaron Lukken. Well, it was an outrageous and irresponsible thing to say, for sure.

I was stunned—quite literally stunned—by the Trump campaign’s assertion that we might not come to the defense of NATO allies who we deemed unworthy because they hadn’t written a large enough check.

A staggeringly dangerous thought. And one that’s sure to delight the kommisars (yes, they still have them) in Moscow.

In reply to Sarah. Sarah, I'm not an expert in the Logan Act, but it seems like a stretch. You may be interested in this post at Lawfare, which opines that Trump is not an agent of a foreign power for purposes of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act nor an agent of a foreign principle for purposes of the Foreign Agent Registration Act, but that Russia is supporting him and that he is a chucklehead.

Hear hear! Care to comment on Mr Trump’s actions on national TV as they relate to the Logan Act? Do you think his comments could be considered “negotiations”?
