Friday's news brought the welcome report that U.S. Attorney John Durham, investigating possibly illegal misconduct by the FBI and CIA against the Trump campaign, is focusing on the FBI's illegal acts in prosecuting President Trump's first national security advisor, Gen. Michael Flynn.
Whatever Obama's intent, the FBI began the Flynn investigation on the basis of two December 2016 conversations between Flynn - as incoming national security advisor - and then-Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak.
Almost all you need to know about the FBI's abuse of power in the Flynn case is contained in notes made by Bill Priestap, then the FBI's assistant director for counterintelligence.
Priestap's notes, reportedly written after a meeting with James Comey and Andrew McCabe, were made before the FBI interviewed Gen. Flynn.
According to documents released last week, the investigation of Gen. Flynn had been closed by the FBI. It was then reopened by rabidly anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok.
Trump fired Flynn on 13 February 2017 after Flynn apparently lied to Vice President Pence, saying that he'd not talked about sanctions with Kislyak.
What happens to Flynn is important, but far more important is for Durham to bring indictments against Comey's Stalinists and their co-conspirators in the CIA and other parts of the IC. Most, but not all of them - e.g., Trump's CIA Director Gina Haspel, who apparently ran the overseas parts of the "Crossfire Hurricane" investigation - are no longer government employees.
