Some careful observers have identified multiple conflicts within the Times story, which was an obvious attempt by those implicated in the scandal to leak their way to a positive spin.
I'm finding the numerous false statements in this attempted whitewash of FBI behavior to be frustrating. An example. pic.twitter.com/B6oMWNLaKC

It's an embarrassment of an article. The @nytimes should be ashamed to be stenographers for biased FBI and DOJ officials

EXAMPLE 1
NYT: Strzok writes a message in sentence case, with calm, detached air implied
REALITY: "OMG" and the entire message in excited ALL CAPS pic.twitter.com/3AJGicwdjs
EXAMPLE 2
— Undercover Huber (@JohnWHuber) May 16, 2018
NYT: Carter Page "had previously been recruited by Russian spies" (this is used twice)
REALITY: SVR agents had tried to recruit him, failed, called him "an idiot", and Page spoke to the FBI about the attempt. The SVR agents were arrested and/or expelled from the U.S. pic.twitter.com/npHocBvvmh
EXAMPLE 3

NYT: @Comey met Trump in private "revealing the Steele reports", as journalists had "obtained them"
REALITY: False. Trump was deliberately ONLY briefed on the salacious Moscow prostitutes allegation. This has now been admitted by @Comey himself (@BretBaier transcript) pic.twitter.com/lBB6yoINJn

This is important - an NSL is a subpoena for records that does not require probable cause or the approval of a judge. https://t.co/17X5IM1pWq
Per govt policy, the following could have approved of the NSL:

1) Andrew McCabe
2) James Baker
3) Peter Strzok (maybe - if he was SAC at the time)
[Not an exclusive list.]
