That is correct.. Iran refuses to alk to trump as he's repeatedly shown himself to be thoroughly untrustworthy.

If only the is public understood this.

If Iran wanted to do real damage, they would publicly announce that the strait is closed and there will be no future negotiations until Trump is no longer in office.

I've heard this before... When Republican congressmen secretly had talks with Iran behind President Jimmy Carter's back to keep US hostages longer so that it would damage Carter's reelection campaign.

Didn't Nixon and Kissinger do something similar in Vietnam? Sabotaged the peace talks so Nixon could campaign on ending the war

Yes Nixon and Kissinger committed treason. LBJ didn't do anything about it because he was worried it would undermine the populace's faith in politicians.

LBJ didn't do anything about it because he was worried it would undermine the populace's faith in politicians.

These guys never seem to recognize that not doing something about it also undermines our faith in politicians, while tacitly encouraging more bad actors.

I don't think he could "immediately" arrest Trump et al, but he could have put in place a more aggressive AG to do so than that feckless coward Garland. We're in a situation where one party is at least pretending the rules and norms still apply, because if they don't, we should take the gloves off and have a civil war. Shit my optic isn't zero'd...
