Honestly, this is exactly the sort of judicial farce I expected would happen once I saw that Obama appointee Judge James Boasberg (pictured above) had been assigned the case. Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, the one and only ObamaGate figure to have been indicted for any crime by hoax-prosecutor John Durham and the entirety of the U.S. Department of [No]Justice, was given the softest tap on the wrist possible Friday by the despicable Judge Boasberg.
VDO.AI The corrupt news media will claim that Boasberg’s absurdly minimalist sentence of 12 months probation, 400 days community service and a $100 fee was due to Clinesmith’s decision to plead guilty in the case. Yeah, tell that to General Mike Flynn.
From the story at Fox News:
Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service Friday after pleading guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from now-Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
Clinesmith in August pleaded guilty to “one count of making a false statement within both the jurisdiction of the executive branch and judicial branch of the U.S. government, an offense that carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years and a fine of up to $250,000.”
U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg on Friday during Clinesmith’s sentencing hearing said Clinesmith had suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane. [emphasis added]
[End]
Oh, golly, poor Kevin “suffered by losing his job and standing.” How awful. Poor baby.
The SOB defrauded the damn FISA court, you despicable asshat.
Boasberg is one of the most repugnant clowns ever appointed to the federal bench, so this sort of poke in the public’s eye was pretty much inevitable.
Thus it will be that the sum total of punishments dealt out to the FBI/DOJ cabal that conspired with British and Russian spies to fix the 2016 election and to then try and fail to execute a coup d’etat of a sitting president on U.S. soil will amount to zero jail time, 400 hours’ community service and a $100 fee.
The end.
That is all.
Down to the Banana Republics
Down to the tropical sun
Go the expatriated American
Hopin’ to find some fun
We can talk and talk and talk and talk...
But there’s only one way out of a banana republic oligarchy.
-and it ain’t voting our way out...
I think I’m about at the point where I’m just going to stop paying taxes, board myself up in my house with my AR10 and plenty of ammo and have them come and get me. The whole government is corrupt to the core. There are no good guys in any of the institutions despite what Hannity says.
This guy gets off scott free and the guy who memes about voting by text gets 10 years????
Does anyone know the big term used to describe a time when only the elite and privileged are no longer required to follow the law?
Jury duty strike when?
Crime pays.
CJ Roberts is responsible for the FISA courts. A good reporter would ask him how he feels when a lawyer lies to his own court and gets probation.
Welcome to Biden’s Banana Republic.
