“Official functions do not include “purely political party” functions.”

Did you make that up yourself? I don’t see that in writing and as far as I know there is no case law on this new law.

It was in the link I provided above. This is the US Atty's take on things, and since we have had the Black Lives Matter stuff occur, who knows how a court would rule, if they have not already. Anyway,

1555. Disruption Of Government Business -- 18 U.S.C. 1752 Section 1752(a)(2) of Title 18 outlaws the intentional disruption of government business at designated residences or offices. This subsection is designed to require both an intent to impede or disrupt as well as an actual impediment or disruption. A showing of specific intent is not required; a showing of reckless disregard of consequences would suffice. S.Rep. No. 91-1252, 91st Cong., 2d Sess. at 11. "Government business or official functions" does not include purely "political party" business or functions. [cited in USAM 9-65.400]
