And yelling that he should be prosecuted for treason isn't going to change that.

(42,702 posts)In 200 years the Logan Act has never been the subject of a prosecution. This administration isn't going to use it against one of their own appointees. And espionage would require disclosure of classified information and I haven't heard anything to suggest Flynn did that.

(42,702 posts)It's constitutionality is considered dubious. It hasn't been the subject of a single prosecution in over 200 years. And do you really think this administration will use it against one of its own appointees? Because if you do, there are any number of bridges I'd like to to sell you.
