Flynn Kept FBI Interview Concealed from White House

“A year ago today, Donald Trump’s newly sworn–in national security adviser, Michael Flynn, met privately in his West Wing office with FBI investigators interested in his communications with Russia’s ambassador, without a lawyer or the knowledge of the president and other top White House officials,” NBC News reports.

“Flynn’s FBI interview on Jan. 24, 2017, set in motion an extraordinary sequence of events unparalleled for the first year of a U.S. presidency. A national security adviser was fired after 24 days on the job, an acting attorney general was fired ten days after the president took office, an FBI director was allegedly pressured by the president to let go an investigation into the ousted national security adviser, and then eventually fired.”


Michael Flynn's secret meeting with FBI officials took place just one day after he was sworn in as Trump's national security adviser.

Firing of James Comey and Sally Yates was obviously obstruction of justice since the White House knew an investigation of their ties to Russia was in progress.
Do I read that correctly?
