Okay, it’s a hopeful start, but that’s a pretty small fish.

One bit from the NYT Article:

“Mr. Clinesmith, who resigned over the matter last year, was expected to be charged in federal court in Washington with a single felony count of making a false statement.”

But how is it possible the deep state would allow this to happen?

Where is the deep state’s power?

"Kevin deeply regrets having altered the email. 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,"

"...mislead...his colleagues.."

This does not make me think he has a deal. It sounds to me like he's taking the fall and providing cover for his colleagues.

He'll be disbarred, maybe serve 6 months in a white-collar prison, then enjoy the rest of his life as a celebrity tenured professor and CNN contributor.

Just means it won’t go to trial and the charges stand. He pleaded guilty. No deal involved as far as I can tell...at this time.

The deep state sacrificed a small potato. It is not headline news because we all knew it was coming. My bet is the next one charged will be to posthumously say John McCain planned and set up the whole Crossfire deal. We shall see.

and anyone significant who tries to talk will be forced to testify posthumously.

Amazing that this kind of corruption can happen in the FBI and the upper echelon of government and if it were up to the democrats and the deep state you’d never even hear about these crimes. https://t.co/0wKEkuLPfZ— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) August 14, 2020


#Durham Court documents show former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith to plead guilty to one count, false statements 18 USC 1001. @CBSNews has learned that after FBI records were declassified by @DNI_Ratcliffe last month further implicating Clinesmith, his lawyer approached Durham’s pic.twitter.com/6Gh0R9FGLt— Catherine Herridge (@CBS_Herridge) August 14, 2020

office about a deal. The question in both the 2016 defensive briefing + the altered CIA email is whether Clinesmith acted independently or at the direction of, or with approval of FBI leadership. Plea deals typically involve cooperation. READ pic.twitter.com/5ZzlAcXCHw— Catherine Herridge (@CBS_Herridge) August 14, 2020

Let me correct the mainstream: Clinesmith is not some low level agent. That is complete and purposeful mischaracterization.— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) August 14, 2020

If they allow McCain to be charged posthumously, it would be a devastating blow to their general narrative.

Their narrative is really the only thing they’ve ever had, period.

Canary ratting out Jim Baker, his boss?

Could be he acted alone...His lie is the reason for the 3 year long investigation...Who can blame someone for that??? Good police work to follow up on pertinent information...

And since he'll be without a job, after his 30 day probation he'll probably retire in the Bahamas...

When I try to read a democrat mind I go for the stupidest most outlandish explanation.
