Logan Law: How It Began Back In 1799
Washington notes the Logan Act's origin after George Logan of Philadelphia pressed diplomacy with France in 1799. The piece recalls Hoffa’s Hanoi bid facing State Department rejection and cites Ramsey Clark and Pierre Salinger as later targets of Logan Act criticism. It also mentions the 1803 Fluornoy case, the Act's sole indictment, later dropped.
