Examiner:
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has asked the Department of Justice to investigate whether former Secretary of State John Kerry broke the law by meeting with the Iranian foreign minister after President Trump took office.
Rubio said in a Tuesday letter to the department that the “American people deserve to know what U.S. laws are enforced regardless of any individual’s past position.”
The Florida senator said the Justice Department should decide whether the former Obama official violated the Logan Act, a more than 200-year-old law that prohibits private citizens from acting on behalf of the U.S. in negotiations with foreign governments without authorization, or the Foreign Agents Registration Act, a law requiring people or companies acting on behalf of a foreign entity to disclose their work to the U.S. government.
Kerry confirmed last week he had met with Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif “three or four times” at gatherings for world leaders since he became a private citizen. The two had key roles in the negotiations of the Iran nuclear deal. But Kerry said he was not “coaching” Iran on how to respond to the Trump administration policies.
“Every secretary of state, former secretary of state, continues to meet with foreign leaders, goes to security conferences, goes around the world,” he told Fox News. “And we have conversations with people about the state of affairs in the world in order to understand them. I think everybody in the world is sitting around and talking about waiting out President Trump.”

These sort of meetings are normal and its been going on forever and it will go on after Trump as well.
Very interesting. American politics could not be any more broken than they are now. Trouble is that both parties have put politics in front of the good of the nation powered by the ignorance of the masses....in most cases.
It appears that everything is so screwed up these days - Yes, we see things through the small window of time - our time - but man, is it discouraging?
If things go accordingly, which they should, Kerry has to kiss his widely rumored 2020 nomination, good-bye... Which would ‘t matter anyway; Donald will win his second term with a landslide...
Antsy Pantsy Fancy Schmancy,
You have re-invented your user ID again! Be assured that Hillary and Kerry are done with presidential politics, no matter how they try to re-invent themselves. American people have moved on.
After a humiliating defeat for Trump on Nov. 6th, the American people will elect a nice, young, energetic and clean president in 2020; a complete opposite of the current Bastard-in-Chief.
I didn’t know “American people” have anything to do with Washington... As long as schumer(spelling?) guy and Pelosi run their show, Dems are hopelessly helpless.
Young energetic and clean presidnet in 2020? now I know you inhaled in college!
No US President has ever been immune to politicized attacks by the opposition party. Look at what the Democrats are doing to the first clean and energetic President, D. J. Trump. It is indeed shameful!
LOL............a nut job may be...
