If the FBI's investigation into Trump/Russia was really opened on July 31 2016, why did @Comey say to @GStephanopoulos that "we already had the investigation underway" when Trump gave a *July 27* press conference? 
Shouldn't Comey's answer have really been: "Okay, so Trump asked Russia to release Clinton's emails. We thought that was concerning, but we didn't have any reason to investigate him at the time. Then a few days later the @GeorgePapa19 tip came in, and then we did"?
Alternative: it was a slip of the tongue or Comey was remembering incorrectly. But since Comey has never been asked, it's hard to know for sure.
