report concerning newly released notes relevant to the activities of President Obama and Vice President Biden in directing the FBI investigation of the designated future National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.
Newly released notes confirm President Barack Obama’s key role in surveillance and leak operation against Michael Flynn, the incoming Trump administration national security adviser. The handwritten notes, which were first disclosed in a federal court filing made by the Department of Justice on Tuesday, show President Obama himself personally directed former FBI Director James Comey and former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates to investigate Flynn for having routine phone calls with a Russian counterpart. He also suggests they withhold information from President Trump and his key national security figures.
The handwritten notes from fired former FBI agent Peter Strzok appear to describe a Jan. 5, 2017, Oval Office meeting between Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, Comey, Yates, and then-national security adviser Susan Rice.
I’ll remind you that Joe Biden has claimed on-camera that he knew an investigation of Flynn was happening but knew no details. On the other hand:
According to Strzok’s notes, Biden explicitly referenced the Logan Act, an 18th-century law that forbids certain political speech from private citizens. The law, even if it were constitutional, would not apply to a national security adviser for the newly elected president of the United States.
The proverbial “top men” in the Obama administration have their fingerprints all over this bogus-from-the-get-go ‘investigation.’ (Note classic snide Indiana Jones reference). Both
