WASHINGTON (AP) — A former FBI lawyer will plead guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from U.S. Attorney John Durham’s investigation into the probe of ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign. The case against Kevin Clinesmith is likely to be cheered by President Donald Trump and his supporters as they look to the Durham investigation to lift Trump’s wobbly reelection prospects and to expose what they see as wrongdoing as the FBI opened an investigation into whether the Trump campaign was coordinating with the Kremlin to sway the outcome of the 2016 election.

Didn’t Kevin Clinesmith alter an email to mislead the fisa court? That seems a lot more serious then making a false statement.
Maybe they let him plead down.
Sure hope someone files a complaint with the bar association. Otherwise it will just be a slap on the wrist.
I’m glad that there was not a shred of editorializing in that article.
_________
My thoughts exactly.
Not much editorializing here. So when someone other than Flynn pleads guilty it's not seen as wrongdoing?
And that’s a wrap!
************
LOL. Now put a bow on the report and Durham is done!
This is good news yet the snivelers still piss and moan.
“Maybe he rolled on some of the bigger fish.”
Oh, how I hope you are right!! Why am I a skeptic??
They will probably hand the trial to His Dishonorable Sullivan, who will, in turn try to prosecute Durham for bring the indictment.
without a bigger fish, this is sedition,
and he should HANG.
Clinesmith caught framing Carter Page; this is his lawyer admitting.
There is no trial. There is however sentencing after a likely deal.
This must be the small item AG Barr referenced coming out today.
People lost, this is the opening salvo exposing ObamaGate. A soldier in the Obama resistance is nailed.
They will let him walk because he’ll claim that there was “no intent.”
...a low level scapegoat....
that’ll be all...
The colonists beating back the British at Lexington and Concord was good news, but there remained a lot more to be done before it became truly meaningful.
Durham has about 27 working days before the election.
"to lift Trump’s wobbly reelection prospects"
No kidding.
he BETTER lose his LAW LICENSE along with having to PAY REPARATIONS and JAIL TIME!!
Well Comey or Wray....we’re waiting....
Agree. I hope I’m way off base but I’ve always believed, IF anyone is found guilty in the numerous lies/hoaxes of Dems and friends, it will be a low level person. They’ll be thrown under the bus but, most likely, get slap on hand and ....devious Dems and media allies will continue collusion.
The daily pile on by sniveling poo butt freepers is more akin to the pansy ass spies who said they were mere grasshoppers compared to the giants in the land.
Really, one false statement charge? That’s it? Not impressed unless he plans to turn State’s Evidence.
