President Trump and his supporters have charged that Barack Obama and Joe Biden conspired against Michael Flynn, but there's no hard evidence to support the claims.
According to the intelligence documents disclosed Wednesday, the vast majority of “unmasking” requests by Obama administration officials that turned out to be Flynn occurred prior to his first December 2016 call with Kislyak. The process of unmasking occurs when an American communicates with a foreigner who is the subject of foreign surveillance. It does not involve surveillance of any U.S. citizen, such as Flynn.
That question was not accurate, according to a senior Obama administration official with direct knowledge of the meeting. She says that meeting began as a larger group in the Oval Office with Obama, Comey, then-CIA Director John Brennan, then-director of national intelligence James Clapper, then-national security adviser Susan Rice and other National Security Council officials for a briefing on Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
Yates says Comey mentioned the Logan Act but doesn’t recall if he said there was an FBI “investigation” into Flynn. She says that Comey did not talk about prosecution in the meeting and that she was so surprised at learning of the Flynn calls with Kislyak that she couldn’t remember Comey’s response to Obama.
