As California attorney general, Kamala Harris "opposed instituting police body cameras statewide and stood against a bill requiring her office to investigate fatal police shootings" https://t.co/fr0b3YgXxS #VPDebate

DOJ produces new Flynn evidence - 1/25/17 Notes FBI OGC lawyer notes.

Logan Act: "no reasonable prosecutor" would proceed.

Flynn call w/ Kislyak similar to "other transition teams"

"First time to use [Logan Act]"

Thread.

TOP FBI lawyer James Baker: "How do you assess § 1001 (false statements) when you wouldn't prosecute the underlying crime?" Big concession that this wasn't about the broader Crossfile Hurricane investigation.

Assessment of whether Flynn is in a "covert relationship w/ Russia": "No, probably not based on facts to date and interview." Will be necessary to compare this to the Flynn NSLs handled by Clinesmith. Possible predication issues. (See pic)

#FLYNN NEW: "FBI" handwritten notes filed with court documenting meeting one day (1/25/2017) after @GenFlynn FBI WH interview. Notes memorialize strategy session over "Logan Act" where author writes "no reasonable prosecutor" + "uphill battle” + comments…

likely former FBI General Counsel James Baker "How do you assess 18 USC 1001 (lying to federal agents) when you wouldn't prosecute underlying crimes?" @CBSNews

"Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes...then we're gonna get little satisfaction" https://t.co/p2xjKaJfua

Damning evidence: Newly-released notes show why FBI initially chose not to pursue Michael Flynn. A pretty simple reason: They could never point to any underlying crime that justified interrogating him in the first place. https://t.co/Injuh8asWh
