# The Law Applies Whatever the Forum or Mode of Communication by Gregory LoGerfo > "If someone is acting in any forum committing a crime, terrorist financing, anything that's against U.S. laws, whatever forum they're in, if they're breaking the law, they're breaking the law. ... When people threaten the United States, whatever the mode of communication is—if it's terror financing, if it's conspiring for acts of terrorism or anything that would hurt the United States—we'll take action on that." > **— Gregory LoGerfo**, *Results from the Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, July 2026* ## Sources and Context - **Source dossier:** [[research/Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism|Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism]]. - **Direct publication or recording:** [briefing transcript](https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/10/12/results-from-the-ministerial-on-the-resurgence-of-political-terrorism/). - **Editorial form:** The readable quotation retains visible brackets and/or an ellipsis for source-supported clarification or omission. The candidate map below records the exact treatment. - **Context and treatment:** LoGerfo identifies criminal conduct rather than platform as the predicate, recognizes cross-national legal variation, and states that financing, conspiracy, or other threats to the United States will draw action regardless of communication mode.
