Logan act!

The Logan Act is a U.S. federal law that criminalizes unauthorized private negotiations with foreign governments to protect the government’s official diplomatic authority.
Overview and Purpose
The Logan Act, codified at 18 U.S.C. § 953, was enacted in 1799 to prevent private citizens from interfering in U.S. foreign policy or undermining official government negotiations. It prohibits any U.S. citizen, without authorization, from directly or indirectly engaging in correspondence or negotiations with a foreign government regarding disputes with the United States or to defeat U.S. measures, with violations punishable by fines or imprisonment up to three years. The law includes an exception for citizens seeking redress for personal injuries from a foreign government.

Historical Background
The Act was a response to Dr. George Logan, a Pennsylvania legislator and pacifist, who in 1798 traveled to France during the Quasi-War to negotiate as a private citizen. Logan’s actions, intended to reduce tensions, were seen as undermining President John Adams’ administration and the official U.S. diplomatic mission. Congress passed the Logan Act to prevent similar unauthorized diplomacy in the future. Logan met with high-ranking French officials, including Talleyrand, and openly discussed U.S. political sentiments, which sparked controversy and led to the law’s creation.

Legal Provisions
The Logan Act applies to any U.S. citizen, whether inside or outside the country, who engages in unauthorized diplomacy with intent to influence foreign governments in disputes with the United States. Authorized officials, such as diplomats or government representatives acting within their official duties, are exempt. The Act has been amended only once, in 1994, to update the penalty language.

The Democrats have seceded from the human race. It’s time for Trump to go full Pinochet.

She is spitting in our face and begging to be arrested. The hatred Democrats have for America, President Trump, us and God is only surpassed by their love for communism.

She needs to be arrested asap for violation of the Logan Act. Democrats think they above the law.
Remember this in November.

The U.S. is not now, nor ever has been at war with Cuba, so no. However it would seem to be pretty easy to charge her with a violation of the Logan Act. She’s apparently admitted to dealing with foreign nations to circumvent American policy.

For he next trick maybe she can work with foreign countries to circumvent our blockade of Iranian ports.

Where is the money coming from?

Cuba has been buying below cost oil and refined products from Russia and Communist Venezuela for the last twenty years!

Re: "We are very close to freeing Cuba from the bad regime this political hack is trying to aid and abet."

Very few 2026 Cubans are demanding freedom.

In 1960 - Cuba had the highest standard of living in Latin America.

Almost all of the Cuban business owners and professional class came from Europe.

When Castro seized power, the Europeans, many of them Cuban citizens for several generations, moved to Miami, where their children and grand children still vote like Conservative Republicans.

The population still in Cuba are African, Caribbean, and Latin American.

They vote like Hard Left Democrats - in Cuba, and also when they move to the USA.

Get back in your own lane there, Pramila Jayapal. You are assuming powers WAY above your pay grade and job description. You have neither the authority nor the means of action to carry out the schemes you seem to have in mind.

If you are not part of the solution, you automatically become part of the problem.

Its a toss-up. Which one is uglier? Pramilla Jayapal, Rosa DeLauro or James Carville?
