The intelligence community has “started the declassification” process of reports documenting former national security adviser Michael Flynn’s phone conversations with the former Russian ambassador, according to Acting DNI Richard Grenell.
"Director Comey affirmed that he is proceeding"by the book" as it relates to law enforcement," Rice said in the previously-classified portion."From a national security perspective, Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with Russian Ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information.
"Ambassador Rice's email makes clear that no discussion of law enforcement matters or investigations took place, despite dishonest accusations to the contrary," Pelton said."The email clearly states that President Obama stressed that he was"not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective."Rice also used the statement to repeat her calls for Grenell to release the unredacted transcripts of Flynn's calls with Kislyak.
The latest declassification by Grenell followed his move last week to provide to Republicans a list of Obama administration officials the National Security Agency said may have received Flynn's identity in response to so-called 'unmasking' requests during the presidential transition.
It's not clear that the transcript or records of the call would be in the DNI's possession given that the surveillance of Kislyak was run by the FBI.
