John Kerry won’t deny that he told the Iranians to wait out the Trump presidency

Via Mediaite, Trump shouldn’t take this personally. Undermining Republican presidents on foreign policy while abroad has been Kerry’s life work, both as a young man and an older one. He’s a living, breathing reminder that the Logan Act exists only on paper.
Two interesting things about this. One is that he doesn’t deny the accusation when Dana Perino makes it (he admitted earlier today to having met Iran’s foreign minister “three or four times†since leaving office), deflecting instead by noting that Trump was still a party to the Iran nuclear deal when he met with Iranian diplomats last year. Right, but Trump was signaling since day one of his presidency that he’d jettison the agreement sooner rather than later, likely sooner. There would have been no reason for Kerry to nudge the Iranians not to do anything rash towards Trump if he and they didn’t strongly suspect the country’s relations with the U.S. were about to turn rapidly more adversarial. His non-denial reeks of an admission.
