Is this a violation of the Logan Act?
Woke ‘Squad’ member appears to confess to undermining Trump embargo on Cuba
Far-left Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Washington state has admitted to undermining the embargo against Cuba, which some interpreted as a serious criminal violation.
The Trump administration has forbidden oil tanker shipments to the Communist-ruled island after the daring military arrest of Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro in early January.
Jayapal admitted that she attempted to orchestrate oil shipments despite the embargo while on a congressional delegation to Cuba.
“As many of you know, I traveled to Cuba as part of a congressional delegation last month,” she said during remarks in Seattle recently. “It is part of my role to see how U.S. foreign policy is actually affecting the people in the countries where that policy is being implemented.”
It’s strange, because she also works to end the use of fossil fuels here in the United States for U.S. citizens
Some suggested she was violating the Logan Act, a 1799 restriction against U.S. citizens negotiating with foreign countries that are in conflict with the U.S.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy said that prosecuting Jayapal under the Logan Act was unlikely and that she should face political accountability instead.
“There has never been a conviction under it — in fact, there have only been two indictments, the last one about 174 years ago,” he told Fox News Digital.
How about treason, working with and attempting to aid an enemy nation? Not that anything will come of this, because Democrats hate the United States and love nations like Cuba, so no way she gets impeached and booted or even voted out in her extreme left Washington district, which has a lot of very, very active Islamists.
