Here are some things I still don’t know but want to know about the Flynn investigation. 1. Precisely when did the people with knowledge of Crossfire Hurricane (CH) learn of the Flynn-Kislyak conversations? The official story is that the President’s Daily Briefing (PDB) staff...1/
asked the intel community for any information as to why Putin chose not to respond to Obama’s Russia sanctions. Then the conversations were discovered and relayed to McCabe who relayed to Comey who relayed to Clapper. I don’t know anyone who believes this PDB story bullshit... 2/
2. Precisely when did the Crossfire Razor case agent decide to close Razor? When did his supervisor approve? When did the request get to Comey and when did JC approve closing the investigation? How much lag time between Comey’s ok and the draft 1-4-17 Closing Communication? 3/
3. Who was the first person to bring up the Logan Act? Based on what we currently know, old Clinton-Holder hand Bob Litt, GC of ODNI, was the first one to mention it. This may have been disclosed to DOJ NSD chief McCord by McCabe in a 1-3-17 phone call per her 7-17-17 302...4/
But the Logan Act as a potential weapon was being set up long before by Comey. He was asked at the House Judiciary Comm. on 9-28-16 if the FBI would investigate credible evidence that someone had violated the Logan Act. He replied: “I think we have done many Logan Act...5/
investigations over the years. And we certainly will in the future.” 4. Why did Acting DAG Dana Boente allow the FBI to continue to investigate Flynn for Logan Action violations from early February to mid-May? Why not tell FBI “STOP. You guys don’t make policy. We’re not...5/
investigating or charging ANYONE for violating the Logan Act.” 5. Why was Mueller allowed to investigate the Flynn-Kislyak calls as part of RR’s Scope Memo? FBI told DOJ on 1-30-17 that Flynn wasn’t a Russian agent. Only justification for Mueller role was Logan Act or 1001....6/
Logan should have been stopped and 1001 was ridiculous under the circumstances since both agents thought Flynn wasn’t knowingly lying about the calls based on his: demeanor, knowledge that FBI had tapes, failure to ask for attorney, immediate agreement to be interviewed. end/
