Former Secretary of State John Kerry reportedly considering 2020 presidential run

From The New York Daily News, Reporter Elizabeth Elizalde, 24 January 2018.

Here is the lede plus one:

Former Secretary of State John Kerry is reportedly considering a presidential run in 2020.

Kerry met with Hussein Agha, an ally of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in London where he touted the idea when discussing the Middle East’s peace process, the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday citing Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv.

Later in the short article we have this paragraph:

In the London meeting, Kerry suggested Abbas should “hold on and be strong” because Trump won’t be in the White House much longer.

Wouldn't this be a violation of the Logan Act?  Maybe not, if you don't think of Palestine as a nation  On the other hand, it is hard to believe Former Secretary of State John F Kerry didn't understand what he was doing.  Unless you think he was a little adrift suggesting the President would not be "in the White House much longer".  Is Mr Kerry part of a Secret Society intent upon conducting a coup against the President?

Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
