I got a different perspective from the WSJ today. This is a good article.

The Logan Act makes it a felony and provides for a prison sentence of up to three years for any American, “without authority of the United States,” to communicate with a foreign government in an effort to influence that government’s behavior on any “disputes or controversies with the United States.” Some background on this statute helps to understand why Ms. Pelosi may be in serious trouble.

Much ado over nothing. The Logan Act has never been used to prosecute anyone in over 200 years, notwithstanding the number of times it's been invoked to threaten people like Ramsey Clark et al. in the last 40 years or so. It's also probably unconstitutionally vague. The WSJ editorialists should save their hot air for some issue on which they'll be more credible.
