But the evidence is abundantly clear: Obama —
unlike Trump — was adamant about staying out of the FBI’s investigation into Flynn.
Trump’s future acting attorney general
remembered then-President Obama saying that he “did not want any additional information” on Flynn’s case. Even more to the point, Obama’s national security adviser
noted that Obama was “not asking about, initiating or instructing anything from a law enforcement perspective” regarding the Flynn probe. Instead, Obama told the FBI to proceed “by the book.”
