.MaddowBlog: The problem with Pres. Trump accusing John Kerry of a crime.
Among the most serious areas of concern surrounding Donald Trump’s presidency is the eagerness with which he wants to use the levers of power to target his perceived enemies. Max Boot noted in a column last week, “While conferring legal immunity upon himself, Trump is eager to weaponize the legal system against his opponents. The Mueller report documents three separate occasions when Trump demanded a Justice Department investigation of Hillary Clinton.
President Donald Trump said on Thursday that John Kerry “should be prosecuted” for allegedly violating the Logan Act through his conversations with Iran, escalating a feud between his administration and the former secretary of State. A Kerry spokesperson told Politico in response, “[Trump’s] wrong about the facts, wrong about the law, and sadly he’s been wrong about how to use diplomacy to keep America safe. Secretary Kerry helped negotiate a nuclear agreement that worked to solve an intractable problem. The world supported it then and supports it still. We’d hope the president would focus on solving foreign policy problems for America instead of attacking his predecessors for theater.
On the contrary, the idea that Kerry did something wrong is kind of silly. As we discussed in the fall, it’s entirely routine for former U.S. diplomats to maintain relationships with their foreign counterparts. It’s been the American norm for generations.
