Joe Biden “is already having phone calls” with foreign leaders, an Obama era official told MSNBC on Monday.
If true, some believe that to be a breach of the Logan Act, the same law that Gen. Michael Flynn was prosecuted under. In fact, former FBI agent Peter Strzok said it was Biden himself who suggested using the Logan Act against Flynn.
The Logan Act criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments.
“The center of political gravity in this country and the world is shifting to Joe Biden. Foreign leaders are already having phone calls with Joe Biden, talking about the agenda they’re going to pursue January 20th,” Ben Rhodes told MSNBC on Monday.
This is the exact same scenario that Obama administration officials accused Flynn of being in prior to Trump’s inauguration. Flynn was accused of breaching the Logan Act by communicating with foreign officials, including then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Flynn was forced to resign after his conversation was exposed by the FBI, which was monitoring Trump campaign officials’ communications at the behest of the Obama administration.
“If indeed Biden is speaking off the record with foreign leaders, it adds to the charges stemming from the Hunter Biden laptop case, which allegedly proves that Joe Biden was involved in dodgy foreign business deals with Chinese and Russian government agents,” Zero Hedge noted.
Biden has a history of dodgy behavior when it comes to foreign affairs.
