And it begins. FBI lawyer who modified the CIA email to make it look like Carter Page was not a CIA asset will plead guilty. I can't wait to hear what beans he spilled!

“A former FBI lawyer will plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham's investigation into the probe of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.

The case against Kevin Clinesmith is likely to be cheered by President Donald Trump and his supporters as they look to the Durham investigation to lift Trump's wobbly reelection prospects and to expose what they see as wrongdoing as the FBI opened an investigation into whether the Trump campaign was coordinating with the Kremlin to sway the outcome of the 2016 election.

Clinesmith is being charged in federal court in Washington and is expected to plead guilty to one count of making a false statement, his attorney Justin Shur told The Associated Press.”

His sentance will be rather light however he will likely be disbarred in his home state and won't be able to practice law again.

At some point he can ask to have his license restored however getting malpractice coverage for him will be nearly impossible or if available, very expensive given the nature of his crime.

Basically he was charged with one count of "False statements, in violation of Title 18, United states Code, Section 1001(a)(3).)"

Trump's wobbly reelection prospects

That's a news story, and not an op-ed. Hahahaha. Dicks.

Remember, it's not what he's been charged with, it's what he's pled to.

I'm sure the traitor Clinesmith was looking at a lot more than just this when they sat him down and said you can cooperate and plea, or fight. Which will it be?

Emails Show FBI Lawyer Who Doctored Trump-Russia Docs Bragged He ‘Destroyed The Republic’
Martywalsh

Newly released emails show that the FBI lawyer who doctored Trump-Russia related documents bragged to his colleagues that he had just "destroyed the Republic."

Kevin Clinesmith, who has been referred to the DOJ for prosecution over FISA application documents that he altered, wrote to another FBI employee: “As I have initiated the destruction of the republic…. Would you be so kind as to have a coffee with me this afternoon?”

This was seven days after the initial FISA application was sent to the FISA court.

The FISA application gave Obama's FBI the authority to spy on President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign.

Other emails sent on the FBI network from Clinesmith show that he praised Hillary Clinton and bashed Trump.

But wait, it gets better.

Clinesmith was also having an affair with Sally Moyer, another anti-Trump lawyer at the FBI who sent out a tweet in 2017 that said, “Viva le resistance.”

So here's the question: Did he alter the documents as a way of getting a questionable application approved?

On page 445 of the DOJ’s IG report on Clinton’s emails, there is a discussion of what Attorney 2 (Clinesmith) from the FBI texted on October 28, 2016:

Among the general discussion of political issues by FBI Attorney 2, we identified three instant message exchanges that raised concerns of potential bias.

The first of these exchanges was on October 28, 2016, shortly after Comey’s October 28 letter to Congress that effectively announced the reopening of the Midyear investigation.

FBI Attorney 2 sent similar messages to four different FBI employees. The timestamps of these messages are included below.

The messages stated:

13:44:42, to FBI Employee 1: “I mean, I never really liked the Republic anyway.”

13:44:52, to FBI Employee 2: “I mean, I never really liked the Republic anyway.”

14:01:52, to FBI Employee 3: “As I have initiated the destruction of the republic…. Would you be so kind as to have a coffee with me this afternoon?”

15:28:50, to FBI Employee 4: “I’m clinging to small pockets of happiness in the dark time of the Republic’s destruction”

Keep in mind that Clinesmith was one of many anti-Trump FBI officials who had a senior role in the Russia investigation.

Seems like almost everyone who was leading the phony Russia investigation hated Trump and loved Clinton.

And Democrats still want us to believe it was a "fair" investigation.

Yes like who told him to do it...

I think the wagons have been circled around the true culprits and its been decided that Comey is to be sacrificed...

There seem to be some very questionable hiring practices in the Federal Government. Various employees celebrating the destruction of the Republic!

Clinesmith’s sentence is likely to be light as a result of agreeing to provide evidence against bigger fish. Clinesmith is at the bottom of the food chain.

Please, please. Hold up. Wait a second here.

...The traitor Clinesmith...

Kevin Clinesmith

Now There's No Denying It: Obama's FBI Spied On Trump... Period

It appears that Clinesmith, to save himself, implicated others on Crossfire Hurricane.

So who, ultimately, hid the exculpatory information from the FISA court?

Time to name names. Preferably in indictments...

I hope this might be the start of something that leads to indictments and convictions of the higher up conspirators. This little weasel is likely singing to avoid a jail sentence.

it might...however...

he pled guilty

so does this mean he won't have to go to court and be on a stand where he can be examined to get more information?

if thats the case, he was likely a very low-level traitor who now has no obligation to spill any beans on anyone else

I'm glad we finally got a win on this one - it has been a long time coming and I hope he gets serious jail time and not just a slap on the wrist

Think they played this during Clinesmith’s plea bargaining?

He may not have the name recognition like Comey, MCabe, Page, etc., but he was very involved.

From Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller:
-He worked with Strzok to send an FBI agent into the Trump-Flynn briefing.
-He was on the Mueller team
-He took part in Papadopoulos interviews
-He was part of FISA process.

Indeed after Trump won he tweeted to another FBI lawyer "My god dammed name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff."

That sounds like he did a little more than just change an email.

Catherine Herridge is reporting that it was his lawyer who approached Durham about a plea. I take that as him knowing he was screwed and wanted to offer something up to lessen the sting. Durham took the plea, so he knew something.

Finally some movement. I hope they burn every last one of those cocksuckers to the GROUND.

Nothing short of getting the bigger fish, like Comey, will be satisfactory. That smug asshole needs to be in federal prison. And, swamp creature Wray needs to be fired.

"He got a real pretty mouth, ain't he?"
