Breitbart Jerusalem:
Amid the controversy surrounding White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s alleged conversations with Russia, it may be instrumental to recall that representatives for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign were accused of meeting with Hamas and Iran.
Depending on what took place, the alleged contacts with Iran may have violated the Logan Act, which bars citizens from negotiating with foreign governments in dispute with the United States. It may be questionable whether Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, legally qualifies as a foreign government.
In 2008, Robert Malley stepped down as an informal foreign policy adviser to Obama’s campaign when it was revealed that he met with Hamas members.
Malley admitted to the meetings, but he claimed he met with the terrorists as part of his private job.
“I have never hidden the fact that I had meetings with Hamas,” Malley wrote in an open letter published in the New York Times. “I do this as part of my job as Middle East program director at the International Crisis Group.”
He said he distanced himself from Obama’s campaign because the Hamas meetings were “becoming a distraction to me and to Senator Obama’s campaign, and to avoid any misperception — misrepresentation being the more accurate word — about the candidate’s position regarding the Islamist movement.”
Malley later joined the Obama administration. In 2015, he was appointed to lead the Middle East desk of the National Security Council.
He was also named Obama’s special adviser regarding the Islamic State. MORE

ALL THIS IN 3 WEEKS, NOTHING OF THE SORT FOR THE PAST 8 YEARS???!!!
WHAT KIND OF A CRAZY FUCKING WORLD HAS THIS BECOME??? IT’S STARTING TO BOIL OUT HERE, AND THIS WON’T END PRETTY!!!!
This is just crazy talk. Obama was already the Vero Possumus President before those ceremonial formalities of “election” and “inauguration”. I don’t know why he even bothered with the swearing-in do-over.
George Sarcophagus is all a flitter flutter today just breathlessly reporting with his panties in a twist how this Flynn thing is going to damage Trump.
I don’t remember him pleasuring himself live on the set when Obama did this or when he was caught on a hot mic telling Dmitry to tell Vlad he would have more flexibility after the election.
You’d think George was a democrat or something.
Wow, the crap you have to go thru to resign from the Trump administration.
Ahhhh, but we must remember the different rules for different fools part of the Constitution that protects half black Muslim Africans and females who bark like dogs Arf arf arf arf arf arf arf arf!
As long as we’re talking Logan Act violation, let’s not forget the most egregious violation ever — when 10 Democratic members of Congress, to include Speaker Jim Wright, wrote a letter to Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua advising him on matters relating to US foreign policy
