The direct communications between the White House and the FBI were unusual because of decade-old restrictions on such contacts. Such a request from the White House is a violation of procedures that limit communications with the FBI on pending investigations.

The clueless people at the White House probably didn't even know they weren't supposed to communicate directly with the FBI.

The contacts in questions are between Russia and WH.
FBI refused to say that there were none.
Can we infer that they have enough evidence to suggest that there probably were?

This is also interesting in light of the fact that Louise Mensch's theory that Comey is not a partisan supporting P45:
https://patribotics.wordpress.com/2017/01/17/dear-mr-putin-lets-play-chess-louise-mensch-trump-russia/

Her theory is htat Comey was forced to release that letter about Clinton right before the election, because he was forced to by Russian agents in the NYC FBI office. She kind of seems kooky to me, but I haven't seen any other narrative that does a better job linking the pieces together.

The chatter at the time was that the FBI's NYC field office was overrun with agents that had Clinton Derangement Syndrome and were threatening to leak the Weiner emails reopening if Comey didn't announce something. I find that eminently more believable than Russian agents having infiltrated the FBI. But perhaps I'm being optimistic.

Could be both. Her theory is that FBI NYC is influenced by Russia in order to help cover up Russian mob's money laundering. I'm inclined to believe that most sane people are more motivated by money than by hatred of a former FLOTUS, but it's hard to know. If the agents hated Clinton to the point of insanity, then it could be enough, I suppose.

I suspect, though, is that part of what makes PTB crazy about the Clintons is that they are a little bit dirty and greedy, but they are not truly corrupt and affiliated with organized crime or easily bribed by someone nefarious. That, incidentally, is why they always end up looking shabby. They are actually not particularly good at corruption...they have just done enough to serve themselves, not build an empire.
