Past continious use

Please look at the following sentence "The F.B.I. had been examining Mr. Flynn’s phone calls as he came under growing questions about his interactions with Russian officials and his management of the National Security Council" what action is the earliest. To my understanding this means that FBI was ex?mining him and then new questions appeared in the middle of FBI examining? And all this happened before his stepping down, so the past perfect is used? Am I right? thhttps:// http://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/13/us/politics/donald-trump-national-security-adviser-michael-flynn.html?_r=0e link
