But I'm not really seeing the crime or shadiness in the incoming Administration and Russia discussing what will happen with sanctions. Like I said, I don't think that was the intent of the Logan Act.
Like I said, not sure if it is a crime. The application of the Logan Act is something someone with far more knowledge of federal statute than me would have to weigh in on. The shadiness, though, that is pretty clear. The sanctions announced on 29 December were for Russian meddling in an election. The result of said election was the election of Donald Trump as POTUS. If the person that benefited from this Russian meddling that the sanctions were intended to be retaliation for were to repeal those sanctions, it sends a message of thanks to the Russian government for their actions.
That's some shady shit.
