Breaking — Kevin Clinesmith pleads guilty… Developing…
Citizen Free Press ^ | 8/14/2020 | Kane

A top FBI lawyer who fabricated evidence in a federal spy warrant against Trump campaign affiliate Carter Page is expected to plead guilty to federal charges brought by U.S. Attorney John Durham. Kevin Clinesmith, who is expected to admit to deliberately fabricating evidence in a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant application, used to spy on a former campaign affiliate of President Donald Trump, was a top attorney in the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Office of General Counsel (OGC) and a key agency attorney under fired former FBI Director James Comey.

Clinesmith is the first individual to be charged as part of U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the efforts in 2016 and 2017 to spy on the Trump campaign and Trump administration. Both Durham and Attorney General William Barr stated at the conclusion of the OIG investigation of the Page FISA warrants that they had reason to believe the entire investigation of Trump, which allegedly began in late July of 2016, was not legally predicated. Durham was tapped by Barr in May of 2019 to investigate the Russian collusion hoax and determine whether any criminal charges against those who perpetrated it were warranted.

Here’s my summary...

FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith , in James Comey’s FBI,.. worked with agents on surveillance warrants... plead guilty to deliberately forging a key CIA document used to renew a federal spy warrant, (wiretap surveillance) against the Trump campaign....

It’s called fraud and lying to the FISA court to spy on Americans. It’s a crime.

Cooperation Deal agreement??

To: Beave Meister; All

Clinesmith’s Outed himself......in his anti-Trump text messages to another FBI attorney, Sally Moyer, that surfaced following a separate OIG investigation of anti-Trump bias.

Here it is:...

(After Trump won)...“I’m just devastated,”...“Plus, my god damned name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff.”

“Is it making you rethink your commitment to the Trump administration?”....(referring to Clinesmith’s plan to remain at the FBI after Trump’s inauguration.)

“Hell no,” Clinesmith responded. “Viva le resistance.”

Barr was appointed in February of 2019, 18 months ago. That is not anywhere near four years.

My mistake, I thought he’d been at it longer. Still how long does it take. Hillary, Obama, Brennan, Comey. They’ve been walking around free as birds.

I don't know.

But remember, the Media, the Democrat party, and all the Deep State have been working hard for four years to make sure this never, ever, happens.

The fact we have gotten this far is near miraculous.

No one but President Trump could have gotten us this far.

We can still prevail. But recognize this for what it is: a serious revolt against the existing power elite. That includes most national politicians, most of academia, most of the top bureaucrats, almost all of the Media, nearly all of Hollyweird.
