Comey Told Obama that Flynn’s Conversations with Russian Ambassador ‘Appear Legit,’ According to Strzok Notes
National Review ^ | 6/24/2020 | ZAchary Evans

Former FBI director James Comey told President Obama that the 2016 conversations between Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and incoming national-security adviser Michael Flynn were not criminal in nature, according to notes from former agent Peter Strzok released by Flynn’s legal team.

The page of notes was taken by Strzok appears to describe a January 5, 2017 meeting of President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, and national security officials. This meeting occurred amid accusations that incoming Trump administration officials had colluded with Russian operatives. Strzok was not present at the meeting, and it is unclear what record of the meeting he consulted in taking the notes.

Strzok writes that “P,” presumably President Obama, asked, “Is there anything I shouldn’t be telling transition team?”

Strzok records that “D,” or Director Comey, responded “Kislyak calls but appear legit.”

In transcripts of conversations between Flynn and Kislyak released on May 29 of this year, Flynn is recorded asking the Russian ambassador not to escalate tensions in response to U.S. sanctions. Those sanctions were implemented by the Obama administration following reports that Russia attempted to interfere in the U.S. general election.

Strzok’s notes also indicate that “VP” Biden mentioned the “Logan Act” during the meeting, although the context of Biden’s remark is unclear. The Logan Act of 1799 forbids U.S. citizens from intervening in disputes with foreign nations without authorization. The law has been cited only twice in U.S. history in two cases in the 1800’s and no one has ever been found guilty of violating the statute.

NSA - D - DAG: Flynn cuts. Other countries
D - DAG: lean forward on unclass
VP: “Logan Act”
P: These are unusual times
VP: I’ve been [doi X] on the intel comittee (sic) for ten years
and I never
P: Make sure you lode (sic) alr thing - + have the right people on it
P: Is there anything I shouldn’t be telling transition
team?
D: Flynn [arrow] Kislyak calls but appear legit
AppLisa (??) - Happy New Year. Yeah right

alr = American Law Reports
Flynn cuts = summaries NOT transcripts of multiple calls, but note well that NSA (Rogers) and “Other countries” had the raw recordings and, of course, their own cuts (summaries). The NSA source was left by Grenell for Ratcliffe to make an actual transcript. The key Kislyak TO Flynn call was when Flynn was in the Dominican Republic. Kislyak called Flynn! — when Flynn happened to be out of the country and subject to Five Eyes.
doi X = Strzok started to write “doing” but scribbled it out.
...not sure about the “App” word on final line.

As I have stated so many times on this very site, Democrats, Barack Hussein Obama & Joe Biden were 100% behind the scam to do in General, Micheal Flynn. Both Obama & Biden are USA Turncoats & both are absolutely guilty of committing Treason against our great nation Republic!!! They should both be arrested and stand trial to be judged by their peers and receive the Justice that General, Flynn, POTUS, Donald J. Trump, and the American People deserve!!!

As a side bar: I happen to be one quarter Jewish, and I can assure you that Barack Hussein Obama, Joe Biden, De Blasio, AOC and the newly elected Democrat, radical progressive, Jamaal Bowman, who beat out long term Democrat Moderate, Congressman, Eliot Engel, are all anti-Jew and anti-Israel!!! Shades of Hitler rising once again!!!

The Democrat Party is now officially both anti-Jewish and certainly. 100% anti-Israel!!! Any Jew, woman or man would be literally insane to vote for Joe Biden to become POTUS, for quite obvious and true reasons. I am too old and will not be here much longer, but a Jew that votes for any current Democrat is taking with their own hands, a knife to their very own throats. Wise up, Jews in the USA!!! Obama has hated you all from day one!!!

I brought up Bolton because your "great American patriot" comment was the same sh!t I heard about him when I came on FR and told everyone he was an @sshole.

I've learned that a person's credibility goes to zero once people start describing him using slogans that sound like they come from Sean Hannity and are aimed at his audience of women with IQs of about 90.

Thanks...

Hopefully this will be fully-revealed, but then again, if the “dirt” they have on his son is valid, then his son will have a price to pay.

Yes, I think most people (conservatives) figured Justice Roberts was threatened too, but we don’t know how.

Yeah, except none of those idiots could shine Hitler's shoes. They will be a distributed Hitler or a Hitler committee.

“NO MORE MARXISTS at ANY level of office”

Well, I recommend you start your project in the public schools and then purge the colleges and universities. While you’re at it, we need to purge the Marxists from the theological seminaries where they’ve corrupted the clergy and made them into facilitators of socialism.

I don’t agree with Alberta’s Child all the time, but she is NOT a troll. I’ve certainly chided with her at least once, but she is not a troll. :-)

And I don’t appreciate an ad-hominem attack. Please make your arguments on substance, not baseless personal allegations.

ok, I wont call her a troll..thus avoiding “ad hominums”...and “baseless personal allegations.”

I will however, instead criticize her for her “behaviors” as I did:
“always throw stuff like this onto free for kind of like throwing up i e d into the road “

to constantly just throw stuff out without a substantive argument or direct response,is unhelpful and creates a hostile , needless argumentative, off the topic derailment. She can continue to do that, and it is a free country and when I see it, I will run a critique
