CNN reports that an FBI attorney tampered with documents related to the Carter Page application. How much does it matter? Is this the tip of a scandalous iceberg? Or is it a signal that Inspector General Michael Horowitzs much anticipated report on investigative irregularities in the Trump-Russia probe will be much ado about nothing much?
A low-ranking FBI lawyer altered a document that was somehow related to the Obama Justice Departments application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for a national-security surveillance warrant. The application, approved by the FISC in October 2016, targeted former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page an American citizen, former naval intelligence officer, and apparent FBI cooperating witness as a clandestine agent of Russia. Apparently, the document tampering made at least one of the applications factual assertions seem more damning than it actually was.
The FBI attorney, who has not been identified, is also said to have falsified an email in an effort to provide back-up support for the fabricated claim. The lawyer, who was reportedly pushed out of the Bureau when the tampering incident came to light, was interviewed in Horowitzs inquiry and is said to be a subject of the related criminal investigation being conducted by Connecticut U.S. attorney John Durham.

No.
I know a lot because I read outside of forums.
There is lots you dont see and dont know unless you are in the swamp.
So you're in the swamp because you know so much?
I'll take that as your confirmation that you're in the swamp.
“BS! Look at the McCabe interview at the link in reply 52!”
Do you really think that is everything? Do you really think that media is telling you the truth on everything and that it is not propaganda? I had a conversation today with someone in a credible position who knows enough to put all this BS in the news concerning this to bed. Asked the same questions you have to this person concerning all of these issues. Think asymmetrically you are caught in the bubble and don’t realize it. I know how the narrative is set and the strategy they use and you have bought into it hook. line and sinker.
Nope, but it sure blows up your stupid ass assertions.

I'll answer your rhetorical with a rhetorical of my own...Where have I ever implied that such is the case?
I can, however, view a video and draw a conclusion through said viewing to determine that the person has seen Top Secret information and that they can't talk about it due to an NDA.
I had a conversation today with someone in a credible position...yada, yada, yada.
Argumentum ad verecundiam. So rather than researching things for yourself you take the word of others who may or may not be correct.
Got it. Thanks for playing.

Research is not possible on some things.
Tell me how your MSM and internet sources are so reliable and how you can believe them?
The grapevine is superior in certain things and this situation that is where you get the best information. But you have to have access to it. Because if you don’t you will never find out and BTW your insinuation concerning who I talked to is presumptuous BS.
“Nope, but it sure blows up your stupid ass assertions.”
You are nothing but a keyboard warrior and all that you you is project!
What is it that you do?
I work in a place that helps keep all of you safe and free.
And where is that?
None of your business.
Ah, so you're simply blustering. Got it.
No I am not blustering it.Some organizations have policies where you cannot reveal your affiliation. I work with one of those organizations.
I didn't ask you to name any organization.
(possible answer) You : I'm in the defense industry.
No organization named.
I work in a place that helps keep all of you safe and free.
(possible answer) You : I'm a dog catcher
No organization named.
SO much can be construed.
I note that you say “organization” and not ‘company’.
Both the government or even some defense industry positions are very hush hush depending on what the organization or line of business does. It’s just the way it is and you have to follow it and I do . When Trump came in these policies have become more stringent and the penalties for not following them are stiff. We have too many leakers and bums who are about to get theirs. All that I can say is that I have broad experience across the spectrum and a very interesting, rewarding career. Anonymity is not a bad thing and where we are today I and many I work with feel the same way. We are committed 100% to protecting this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic.
Good talking to you. But I am getting ready to get some grub and go watch Midway. I heard its great. Keep fighting hard to keep this country from going under. Grit your teeth and put your all into it.
Good talking to you.
It has been entertaining talking to you.

Durham is the wrench Barr threw in the gears of Horowitz’s whitewash party...
