The OIG report exposes another collusion myth: No, Trump did not ask Comey to drop the FBIs investigation into Flynn for colluding with the Russians. Trump was referring to the bogus Logan Act inquiry concocted by Comey and Yates... amgreatness.com/2019/09/02/ins…

Comey, Democrats, the media and Bob Mueller all have suggested that discussion on 2/14/17 constituted obstruction of justice—related to the Trump-Russia collusion probe. Small problem: Comey didn’t notify anyone that the campaign had been under investigation until March 2017...
After Comey leaked details of the Flynn memo to the NYT via a friend, the resulting article didn’t report Flynn was under investigation for violating the ridiculous Logan Act. “Trump’s request is the clearest evidence that the president has tried to directly influence...
the Justice Department and F.B.I. investigation into links between Trump’s associates and Russia.”

It was a lie. They knew it was a lie. And no one corrected it. It’s been cited as grist for impeachment and discussed extensively in Mueller report, too

Btw the team that assessed Comey’s memo to identify classified material? Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and James Baker, who is under investigation himself for leaking classified material.

You cannot make this stuff up.
Here’s the NYT article published May 2017 that launched the lie that Trump told Comey to drop the FBI investigation into Flynn for colluding with the Russians. But neither Trump nor Congress nor the public knew the FBI was investigating Trump campaign...

in February 2017. Everyone knew by May 2017. This intentional confusion about various FBI investigations continued in the media and even in the Mueller report. Here’s WashPo article about Logan Act inquiry: washingtonpost.com/world/national…
