In the aftermath of the Michael Flynn plea deal, there's a lot of confusion out there about whether Flynn and other members of the tRump transition team violated any laws, the Logan Act specifically, if all their misdeeds with the Russians happened after the election.
I've contended that it was criminal whether done before or after the election and Seth Abramson's excellent explanation of the Logan Act I'm including at the end of this post really speaks to that issue. tRumpists and Rethuglicans in general are misrepresenting what the Logan Act actually says in order to make all that tRump treachery seem harmless.
Abramson's thorough treatment of the Logan Act shows that tRump apologists are dead wrong when they say none of the tRump team's actions actually violated any laws; it was clearly criminal and treasonous whether done before or after the election!
By the way, I came across this very informative thread because I follow Abramson on twitter. I recommend it highly for anyone wanting to get a better grip on the matter of tRump transition team members doing treasonous stuff with Russians to undercut the Obama sanctions.
The sanctions imposed by the United States after the Russian assault on our election and our democracy.
