After 2010 Eric Cantor pulled what 2007 Eric Cantor would have called a felony in violation of the Logan Act by promising Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu he would "serve as a check" on the administration, he "clarified," saying that he would not be playing that role "in relation to U.S./Israel relations."
Right. Steve Benen makes the obvious point:
In other words, for Cantor's "clarification" to be credible, we'd have to believe the Republican leader had a private meeting with a foreign leader, vowed to help "check" the administration, but was talking about subjects entirely unrelated to that foreign leader's country.
I'm sure Cantor was merely telling Netanyahu that Obama is not going to get away with cheating at Magic cards again if he has anything to say about it.
