Then-Vice President Joe Biden personally brought up the potential use of the Logan Act against incoming national security adviser Michael Flynn in a conversation with President Barack Obama, FBI Director James Comey, and Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates, according to newly declassified notes believed to have been taken on Jan. 4, 2017, by FBI official Peter Strzok.
While it was previously known that the case against Flynn was discussed by Obama and top administration officials, Biden’s mention of the Logan Act has never been disclosed. The notes suggest that the vice president, contrary to his recent statement, directly took part in the investigation, especially considering the FBI’s apparent use of the Logan Act as a pretext to keep the investigation against Flynn open.
