FBI Lawyer Referred for Criminal Prosecution by Horowitz Primary FBI Attorney on Trump-Russia Case

A former FBI attorney reportedly referred for criminal prosecution by Department of Justice Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz—for allegedly altering an email connected to the surveillance warrant on Trump campaign adviser Carter Page—was assigned in early 2017 as “the primary FBI attorney assigned” to the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into alleged Russian election interference.

Text messages obtained by Horowitz, covered in a June 2018 report, showed that Clinesmith had a strong bias against Trump, texting “Viva le resistance” following Trump’s election as well as: “my god damned name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff.”

As the article mentions, the media has already received its talking points that this is a low level employee - BS!
He was completely in the thick of things. I just wish this would lead to the vile Strzok getting hanged though.

They drew straws, he lost. That’s how they pick scapegoats.

Mr. Clinesmith was the primary FBI attorney assigned to the Russia probe in 2017.

Hopefully he will roll over on the ones pulling his strings. He sure didn’t do this alone.

Oh yeah. Like how McCabe was referred for prosecution almost 2 years ago? Like that? Like how Peter Strzok was referred almost 2 years ago, like that?
