George Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19 Prediction: Clinesmith flipped on Bill Priestap. He is important for two reasons. We know now that he has criminal exposure for intentionally lying to Congress about the Steele dossier. He was also involved with the Australian set up meeting in London with Alexander Downer.

You’ve posted a bunch of great info - but you’re in FESTIVAL!! You need to bring them on over to the new thread so everyone can see them!
This comment from Clinesmith’s lawyer has me curious:
“It was never his intent to mislead the court or his colleagues as he believed the information he relayed was accurate. But Kevin understands what he did was wrong and accepts responsibility.”
Is this just an example of a lawyer trying to spin things in the best possible way for his client? Why would he plead guilty if he didn’t think he was lying at the time? It doesn’t make sense unless he’s implying that he was told to lie or never actually reviewed the cited email. Did he actually read the email that said Carter Page HAD worked with the CIA or was he given false information and never bothered to confirm it? I guess we’ll find out more soon enough.
