This is a problem - RE: Iran

I’m gonna jump in with the first….And nothing will happen.

Why would the NYC admin need to have a fricking meeting with a terrorist regime that we are in the middle of a conflict with?

This might actually turn out to be something bigger than we think

This same NYC admin runs our shipping ports. Sorry but that's a fricking problem

.

Tell Trump to quit being a bitch and hang those mofos.

Remember when Trump had John Kerry arrested for negotiating with Iran during his first term and Kerry got that big jail sentence? I imagine Mamdani is gonna get similar treatment

Nothing needs to happen, as they never met, However, they've been warned and have the monitor on them big time. They better keep their skirts clean with everything they do.


To add on just a little....

Prohibited Conduct and Penalties. The law forbids any U.S. citizen, wherever located, from directly or indirectly engaging in correspondence with a foreign government or its agents without U.S. authority if the intent is to influence measures related to a dispute with the United States or to defeat U.S. measures. Violation is a felony punishable by fines and imprisonment for up to three years. The Act explicitly preserves a citizen's right to petition a foreign government for redress of personal injuries.

Enforcement History. Despite being in effect for over two centuries, the Logan Act has never resulted in a conviction. Only two indictments were ever issued, one in 1803 and another in 1852, but neither case was prosecuted. Legal scholars suggest the law remains rarely invoked due to potential conflicts with First Amendment free speech protections and the high burden of proving specific intent to defeat U.S. measures.

TREASON!

No, it does not meet the definition of treason. It doesn’t even necessarily violate the Logan Act.

quote:

---

The Logan Act (18 U.S.C. § 953) makes it a crime for a private U.S. citizen, without authorization from the U.S. government, to correspond or negotiate with a foreign government or its officials with the intent to: * Influence that government’s actions regarding disputes with the United States, or * Defeat or interfere with U.S. government policy.

US mayors, governors and other local officials routinely meet with foreign governments.

Mamdani was meeting with Iran, a country we were at peace with and were NOT sanctioning - until Trump reversed all of that last week.

In order for Mamdani to have committed a crime he would have had to go through with the meeting AND try to interfere with our federal government’s policies toward Iran.
