Hilarious as it seems.
John Adams was enforcing some prohibition with France, which was intercepting American trade with Britain. Any way, the French, incidentally, sent operatives to organize pro-French lobbying force. They worked with Jefferson. Adams, as president got pissed and passed the Logan act.
The funny part, the party organization we have today was the French import.
Look at the current issue. Sanctions issued in Mar 2014, just before election. At the time, an array of parties were all colluding away about Ukraine and Russia and (Israel, Saudi, China, and Britain...). Suddenly the law is going to draw the Crimea line between all this collusion? Hillary was there, Soros, American oil, NATO, just to name a few.
There is nothing really new going on, the Logan Act rarely gets called because there is no crime. Remember, this is all after the Citizens United ruling, publicly organized free speech is protected.
