Still doesn't change the fact that at any given moment, Trump has many personal lawyers, and he cares little about their relation to laws or truth so long as they are loyal dogs.

Funny, because that's almost exactly how it worked in the case of Saudi Arabia.
An added bonus... here is a letter GOP congress sent to Iran, in part due to Kerry:
GOP senators send letter to Iran in attempt to undermine nuclear deal; Biden calls it ‘false’ and ‘dangerous’

The north remembers...The letter was written by freshman Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas, who opposes negotiations with Iran. It’s addressed to the “Leaders of the Islamic Republic of Iran” and presents itself as a constitutional primer to the government of an American adversary. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky’s signature is on it, as are those of several prospective presidential candidates.

Rudy Giuliani's former DOJ colleagues believe he committed crimes in pushing Biden probe
NBC News, apparently, didn't have to look very hard.
It should be noted that this article says Giuliani claims to be unpaid. Assuming that's true, he must be doing all this for something really important. I fail to understand how someone who worked with Reagan in the 80's would actually side with Russia.NBC News reached out to seven former colleagues of Giuliani's. Of the six who offered comments on or off the record, none defended him.
"This is certainly not the Giuliani that I know," said Jeffrey Harris, who worked as Giuliani’s top assistant when he was at the Justice Department in the President Ronald Reagan administration. "I think the Giuliani that I know would prosecute the Giuliani of today."
"There’s a whole apparatus of the United State government that’s set up to deal with foreign officials and Rudy Giuliani’s not one of them," said Harris, now a lawyer in private practice in Washington D.C.
"To the extent that you could look at this as using government resources for your benefit, there are a number of crimes that this conduct would answer to."

He's a private citizen, not a member of the government and did not go through the proper clearances to be a member of the government. He is not authorized to speak on behalf of the United States regardless of if the President told him to do it or not.
The law is clear in that the person needs to be authorized by the United States government. Not just the president telling him to do things.
Now, Trump himself can't be guilty of violating the Logan Act since he is definitely an authorized person. But he almost certainly is guilty of criminal conspiracy in this matter.
