Trump personally met with Russian ambassador during campaign

2015 Lawfare post, there are three different legal problems, two of which are structural, and one of which is specific to contexts like this one. To the structural problems, the Logan Act predates the Supreme Court’s 20th-century invigoration of the First and Fifth Amendments, which, between them, do not look too kindly on either content-based restrictions on speech (which the Logan Act clearly is), or criminal laws that do not clearly articulate the line between lawful and unlawful conduct (which the Logan Act may well not do). The Logan Act also may be the textbook case for the defense of “desuetude” — a claim that a criminal statute has lapsed because it has never been enforced (which may simply be another form of the Fifth Amendment vagueness argument alluded to above). Indeed, there’s been exactly one indictment in the history of the Logan Act — in 1803. And no convictions.

If he does not do what is right in this situation. I'll be right there with you and will have a huge issue with Trump.
