Judicial Watch founder Tom Fitton stopped-by ‘Hannity’ Tuesday night to weigh-in on recent developments that showed John Kerry’s State Department was involved in “targeting Trump” during the 2016 election.
“We have more documents out of the Obama State Department, showing Christopher Steele and Glenn Simpson had special access to the media guy in the Kerry State Department… It’s just incredible to see. The State Department was all hands-on-deck in terms of targeting President Trump,” said Fitton.
“There was more than one dossier going to the FBI and the Justice Department created by the State Department itself targeting Trump,” he added.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed his predecessor on Fox News last week; saying “it’s true” that John Kerry has violated the Logan Act with his ongoing talks with top Iranian officials since leaving the State Department.
“It’s true. I was there in Munich … I saw not only Kerry … [others] met with the Iranian leadership,” Pompeo said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends.” “It’s unusual, but more importantly, it’s wrong,” said Pompeo.
“Every American should support America’s foreign policy. They had their moment, they had their day, it’s time to get off the stage. We all know the Logan Act, we all know the risk that is taken when people act as private citizens on behalf of the United States government,” he added.
President Trump slammed Kerry’s ongoing relationship with Iran while speaking with reporters at the White House this week; saying he clearly “violated” the Logan Act.
“You know John Kerry speaks to them a lot, and John Kerry tells them not to call. That’s a violation of the Logan Act, and frankly he should be prosecuted on that,” Trump told reporters at the White House.
“But my people don’t want to do anything, only the Democrats do that kind of stuff. If it were the opposite way, they’d prosecute him under the Logan Act,” he said.

Kerry made global headlines last year when he admitted to continued contacts with Iranian officials, saying “What I have done is tried to elicit from him what Iran might be willing to do in order to change the dynamic in the Middle East for the better.”
