President Donald J. Trump: (

"We’ve caught them all. We’ve got it all on tape. We’ve caught them all. And by the way, you gave the idea for the Logan Act against General Flynn. You better take a look at that, because we caught you in a sense, and President Obama was sitting in the office."

"Mr. Kohl pointed as well to findings by an inspector general investigation to say that the two agents who interviewed Mr. Flynn at the White House in January 2017 — Peter Strzok and Joe Pientka, who would be key witnesses in any trial — were tainted. Mr. Strzok had sent text messages to a colleague indicating that he did not like Mr. Trump; Mr. Pientka helped supervise error-riddled applications to wiretap a different former Trump campaign adviser who was under investigation as part of the F.B.I.’s Russia investigation, Carter Page.
“The I.G. knocked out all of our witnesses in this case,” Mr. Kohl said.
....
On Twitter, Mr. Strzok
accused Mr. Kohl of “materially misrepresenting” his actions.
Separately, in a letter docketed on Monday night, a lawyer for Mr. Strzok told Judge Sullivan that someone had altered handwritten notes by his client in one of the recent batches of internal materials turned over to Ms. Powell —
adding two dates to them that he did not write, including one that suggested a White House meeting happened earlier than it did.
Judge Sullivan ordered the Justice Department to provide a sworn declaration certifying whether the materials submitted to him “were true and accurate,” saying he was “floored” by the “unsettling” claim that they had been modified...."

The Flynn Investigation: What Did Obama and Biden Know and When Did They Know It?

...Biden appeared to raise the
Logan Act.
Well, if it was “legit” then why “look at things”?
If it was “legit,” why would Biden mention the
Logan Act?
These notes raise legitimate questions.
For example, did Obama and Biden deliberately take steps in the final hours of their administration to undermine the incoming administration?
It sure
looks like they did.
It’s also reasonable to question the extent of Obama’s and Biden’s knowledge about the Russia and Flynn investigations.
For example,
we know that on January 4, 2017 – the same day Strzok allegedly wrote the meeting notes – the FBI wrote a closing memorandum on Flynn, who was codenamed Crossfire Razor by the FBI that said the Intelligence Community could find no derogatory information on him.
On the very same day the FBI was ready to close the Flynn case, Strzok asked another FBI agent, “Hey if you haven’t closed Razor don’t do it yet.”
The case was still open at that moment and Strzok asked that it be kept open “for now.”
Strzok then messaged Lisa Page saying that Razor still happened to be open because of some oversight and said “Yeah, our utter incompetence actually helps us…”
The case should’ve been closed.
Instead, even in light of Comey apparently saying that the calls between Flynn and the Russian ambassador “appear legit” Obama directed Comey to “look at things” and make sure “the right people” investigate it.
And Biden chimed in, too, by bringing up the
Logan Act which was used as a pretext to interview Flynn weeks later.
Mind you, all of this happened after the election.
The incoming Trump administration had no idea that Obama, Biden, Comey and Strzok were busy setting the stage for what would become a multi-year struggle to show that they didn’t collude with the Russian government.
So much for a peaceful transition of power."
