Twitter Moments (@TwitterMoments) Tweeted:
Trump invoked the Logan Act, an 18th-century law that criminalizes negotiations with foreign governments by unauthorized citizens, to call out former Sec. of State John Kerry for his discussions with Iranian officials regarding the Obama-era Iran Deal.

Tom Cotton and 46 other Republican Senators took it upon themselves to interfere in Iran/U.S. relations.

The idea that Iran did not call Trump because Kerry, who holds no power, told them not to is asinine. In the first place, there are many Kerry comments that rather than leaving the deal, Trump could have tried to expand it. In fact, Macron tried to get him to do that. NOT TO MENTION THE WH PHONES CAN CALL OTHERS. If Trump wanted to talk to leaders in Iran, it would have happened.

It is pretty obvious that Kerry's concern was avoiding war and being a good representative of the US.

How much contact did he and members of his family have with the Russians, the Saudis, and others, prior to his inauguration, when he actually gained the power to authorize such contacts?

Let us count the ways...

and 47 other senators signed that letter and sent it to the president of Iran, telling him not to negotiate with President Obama??

"Investigations" of Trump's political opponents, specifically Joe Biden. Trump is obviously trying to create a narrative that the Democrats are doing what he is actually guilty of.

And the media can't put this together.
