We have no reason to believe election era calls were really damning or we'd be talking WAY more than Logan and not leaking.

Frankly even for December calls, not clear it'd appear suspicious w/o context of Putin's strange response.

I loathe Flynn. But wouldn't want what they didn't think they had to become public in Nov. Eg, so would Hillary's convos w/KSA.

Suspect and believe Flynn has done far worse. Also believe FBI still investigating, based off context.

Curious detail - Comey eventually came on board with notification. Did status of FBI investigation change?

Agree! Could mean Yates is good at pressure. Could mean he gave up prosecuting Flynn.

One thing is clear: 9 sources don't come forward to WaPo if they still think they can prosecute.

BUT In Libby case (under Comey supervision), I think Fitz believed (V)POTUS ousting had to be political, not legal. @nycsouthpaw
