Kerry Meeting With Iran to Salvage Nuke Deal With Rogue Diplomacy
Shadow diplomacy aids Iran's regional pursuits

Former Secretary of State John Kerry disclosed that he has been conducting rogue diplomacy with top Iranian officials to salvage the landmark nuclear deal and push the Islamic Republic to negotiate its contested missile program, according to recent remarks.

Kerry, in an interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt to promote his new book, said that he has met with Iranian Former Minister Javad Zarif—the former secretary's onetime negotiating partner—three or four times in recent months behind the Trump administration's back.

"I think I've seen him three or four times," Kerry said, adding that he has been conducting sensitive diplomacy without the current administration's authorization. Kerry said he has criticized the current administration in these discussions, chiding it for not pursuing negotiations from Iran, despite the country's fevered rhetoric about the U.S. president.

Kerry's comments are in line with previous reporting on his behind-the-scenes attempts to save the nuclear deal and ensure that Iran continues receiving billions in cash windfalls. These payments were brought to a halt by the Trump administration when it abandoned the nuclear agreement and reimposed harsh sanctions on Iran that have nearly toppled its economy and sparked a popular revolution.

Kerry said he met Zarif in Norway, Munich, and other international forums.

Kerry should be tried for treason.  But he's gotten by with it before.  It needs to stop now.

Well, unfortunately, for all of you keyboard warriors, treason only applies to actions in a time of war.

It's not treason but it sure as hell is a violation of the Logan Act and he needs to be held accountable for it.

No kidding! Who hired this imbecile anyway? If only we had a leader who hired only the best people.

As a side note: Kerry’s running 2020.

He's too busy to bother with trivialities like this. There are college kids smoking joints listening to Pink Floyd looking to get busted that have his full attention.

It's not treason?  It smells like it.  And he was even on Fox this morning bragging about it.

Yep. And so I'll repeat:

A traitor in war.
A traitor in peace.
A traitor to the hearts of his countrymen.

Just another illegal act by another DemRat, and no one gets charged much less go to prison. Blind following the blind.

Yes, for his actions as part of an armed uprising, during a period of declared martial law. Pretty much an overt act of war against the WV government.  Similar situation, with John Brown in Harper’s Ferry.  This stunt by Kerry is stupid and against every standard of US foreign relations protocol, but not treason.
