No October Surprise for Humphrey

You're asking yourself "Why isn't Anna Chennault in jail"?
Well, the Logan Act only provides for three years of hard time even if she were prosecuted.
About 30,000 Americans and hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese died after she acted as an intermediary between Nixon and the South Vietnamese government, persuading the South Vietnamese to abandon the 1968 Paris peace talks in order to make sure Nixon would win the election.
Arguably the killing fields of Cambodia were an indirect result of her treason. So add a couple million lives to her tally.
She might not be going to jail, but she's certainly going to Hell.
