Put aside that these congratulatory calls happen with every transition when it becomes clear who the winner of the election is (which no allied leader questions is Biden), the big deal is that you don't do secret calls, compromising the United States in the process.
ok, you were just joking/trolling.
Joe Biden raised the Logan Act when everyone in the Obama inner circle wanted to drop the Flynn investigation.
Because Joe TELLS us all he's violating it its OK with you. Cause hes got a D after his name.

The Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. § 953, enacted January 30, 1799) is a United States federal law that criminalizes negotiation by unauthorized American citizens with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States. The intent behind the Act is to prevent unauthorized negotiations from undermining the government's position.
Text:
§ 953. Private correspondence with foreign governments.
Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.
Flynn violated the Act. He specifically was discussing a dispute with the US and urging an adversary to take a course of action with a promise that the dispute would be resolved favorably to the adversary once the new Admin took over.
The decision to not prosecute Flynn for this violation was prosecutorial discretion, they chose instead to prosecute him for lying to federal officers, which he then copped to having done...given that they had tapes...
