Is Nancy Pelosi trying her hand at running her own foreign policy, treating with FARC and Venezuela? It wouldn’t be the first time.
If so, does the Logan Act apply? FARC isn’t a foreign government, but Venezuela certainly is, so I think the case could be made.
Not that it matters; no one has ever been prosecuted under the Act. Last year’s pratfall in Damascus (as the Washington Post put it) was as clear a violation of the Logan Act as you’re likely to see, but the Act was never even brought up.
