Donald Trump is reportedly advising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which would be a violation of the Logan Act.

He may not be in office, but Donald Trump has been speaking with the powers that be about Israel’s war on Gaza—but it’s not in an effort to end the genocide.

Instead, Trump has allegedly been talking with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avert a cease-fire deal, fearing that doing so could help Vice President Kamala Harris win in November, according to PBS.

“The reporting is that former President Trump is on the phone with the Prime Minister of Israel, urging him not to cut a deal right now, because it’s believed that would help the Harris campaign,” said PBS’s Judy Woodruff Monday night. “So, I don’t know where—who knows whether that will come about or not, but I have to think that the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do what presidents do, and that’s to work on that one.”

    Wow, if only there was something we could do about people crossing legal lines. Alas, we have tried nothing and are out of ideas.

      If only we had, like, books or documents with laws written down in them, so we could know for certain when legal lines are crossed. That way headlines could just say “Trump broke the law”, instead of “Trump may have broken the law. We’re not sure, but yeah probably. We think. Maybe? Who knows?”
