I associate my time in Las Vegas mostly with elderly people with oxygen tanks, chain smoking while they put coin after coin in the slot machine. Just sad.

What you quoted literally says it’s banned. I mean “with intent to influence” is right there in the text you quoted. Did you even read it?

It bans “correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States”.

What exactly do you think negotiating U.S.-Saudi diplomacy when he wasn’t tasked to by the government is doing?

You do not have a first amendment right to negotiate a contract on behalf of an unwilling partner.

The good news is that I still have just as much brain as I did before I woke her up. Which… well you be the judge there.

What calls to effective action? I haven’t seen any calls. You didn’t even make any.

And no, I don’t know how to run a covert communications network and I don’t even know what you mean by ‘a cell that is ready to take action.’ A terrorist cell?
