Good catch of detail. The putsch is based on guilt by insinulation, abusing the principle of "we don't refer to investigations because doing so may unfairly taint the target" as a means to make the conspirators appear to be righteous.
In sworn testiminy, Comey asserted that telling Trump he was not under investigation was a misleading and temporary truth - depends on what the meaning of "is" is, he is not at this moment, but he will be as soon as I get off the witness stand.
All designed to provoke the reaction they got, and then the reaction is used to insinuate additional malfeasanace.
At any rate, it's obvious to everybody that the case was always against Trump. Impeach 45. Russia is the McGuffin.
