There was a whole lot going on in President Barack Obama’s Oval Office on January 5, 2017. There was an all hands on deck meeting including the usual suspects: FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director Joh Brennan, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, National Security Advisor Susan Rice, Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, and Vice President Joe Biden, among others.
Recently released notes show that Biden, who told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos, “I knew nothing about those moves to investigate Michael Flynn,” suggest that it was Biden who brought up the Logan Act at the meeting.
Catherine Herridge has been busy with her pen and highlighter and reports that notes from Peter Strzok about the Logan Act, which was passed in 1799 and only prosecuted twice, in 1802 and 1852, show he and Lisa Page, along with FBI General Counsel James Baker, searched for the Logan Act statute on January 4, the day before the big meeting.
#FLYNN ANALYSIS: Recently declassified FBI agent Strzok notes are among the earliest documented discussions of Logan Act – apparent basis to further investigate Flynn. Filing states the notes are believed to be January 4, 2017. “According to Strzok’s notes, it appears that Vice

“And because I am awesome …” Strzok writes to lover Page, prefacing further research.
"By the book" WH meeting:
Let's use the Logan act!
Okay, you guys go back and look up with that means.

Existence of this note hints that more of them may exist, from other persons.
So, the ship has been sinking for a while and the rats had known it! Will this drown Biden, cause Rice to rise to the top?

Rice is as guilty of sedition as O&B. She saved a few emails to trade for her own clemency or reduced sentence, though, so smarter than Obama or Biden.

We are talking about criminal conspiracy at most very least. Al Capone went for less.

I know a lot of people have been disappointed about the lack of action but unfortunately these things must be timed. Hilary won the popular vote in 2016. We must stand vigilant and have faith.

Biden’s gonna get dropped/step down because of this and they know it. Planned?

Logan Act! Does this mean John Kerry will soon be in the docket?

The guy certainly likes to pretend he represents U.S. foreign policy in his many meeting with the Iranians.
How arrogant/incompetent! Either totally inept at covering their tracks or just didn’t feel the need.

The Logan Act was discussed earlier than this and it's documented on video.

So we’ve been told … is that where they got the idea? Seriously.

It was intuitively obvious that the former administration was using every means available to prevent DJT from becoming president and then attempting a coup after the inauguration.If Justice is not served we have won the battle but lost the war.????????????

Good question:
Can Gen. Flynn have charges filed against them?
