"Comey said he does have some concerns that incoming NSA Flynn is speaking frequently with w/Russian ambassador Kislyak. Comey said that could be an issue as it relates to sharing sensitive information." https://twitter.com/CBS_Herridge/status/1262820374548447238
Note:

President Obama asked if Comey was saying that the NSC should not pass sensitive information related to Russia to Flynn."
"Comey replied 'potentially.' He added that he has no indication thus far that Flynn passed classified information to Kislyak, but he noted 'the level of communication is unusual'."

"The President asked Comey to inform if anything changes in the next few weeks..."
Bear in mind that FBI was reportedly going to close their investigation of Flynn on Jan 4th.

Strzok then intervened.

On Jan 5th, Comey voices "concerns" re: Flynn to Obama.

Also worth noting is that Rice's email relating to Jan 5 2017 meeting, was written Jan 20.
