NEW: DOJ acknowledged today it "inadvertently" altered Peter Strzok's notes about a Jan. 5, 2017 Oval Office meeting re: Flynn.

Still unexplained: DOJ didn't just err by attaching dates to the notes but by dating them incorrectly. It's the 3rd time DOJ/Flynn mislabeled them.
There's no dispute the meeting occurred on Jan. 5, yet DOJ and Flynn team keep leaving open the possibility it happened earlier.

This erroneous timeframe, though, lined up with an attack Trump deployed against Biden at the first presidential debate.
At the debate, Trump referenced Strzok's notes, accusing Biden of initiating "the idea for the Logan Act against General Flynn."

But the FBI began discussing the Logan Act in relation to Flynn on Jan. 4. So Trump's timeline doesn't match up with the Oval Office meeting.
Here is DOJ's explanaton of the dates on the Strzok notes: sticky notes someone forgot to remove when they were scanned >>>
NEW: An admission by DOJ that it "inadvertently" altered documents from Strzok and McCabe — filed as evidecne in the Flynn case —raise more questions about how those erroneously dated documents have been deployed by Trump and his allies. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/07/doj-altered-flynn-document-427280
