Daily Mail: Unsealed documents suggest Joe Biden 'personally raised the idea' of investigating Michael Flynn over his ties to Russia
* Partly-redacted handwritten notes by ex-FBI Agent Peter Strzok suggest it was Biden who raised the idea Flynn may have violated the Logan Act
* 'VP: "Logan Act."' read Strzok's notes, dated January 4, 2017 and attached to federal court papers filed Wednesday by Flynn's defense team
* Flynn's defense lawyers said in the court filing the notes suggest 'Vice President Biden personally raised the idea of the Logan Act'
* Biden in May said he knew 'nothing' of the Obama administration's moves to investigate Flynn before backpedaling to say he misunderstood the question
* A US appeals court directed a federal judge Wednesday to drop the criminal case against Flynn and let him withdraw his guilty plea
* Flynn pleaded guilty back in December 2017 to lying to the FBI during its investigation of ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia
* A probe was launched into whether he broke the Logan Act during phone calls with then-Russian ambassador to the US Sergey Kislyak
* Flynn later claimed he was 'set up and framed' by the bureau
