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.

Zero....

And as I pointed out, there have been zero times that I said that there would be no indictments under Barr.

So next time, don't imply that I have.

You understand?

Probably not.

That “fruit” had already dropped to the ground. Next they’ll be inditing McCabe who even the FIB says lied repeatedly. I bet they make them say five Hail Marys and promise not to do it again.


Barr already passed on indicting McCabe for perjury. Not going to happen.

He’s not a minor player. Was on Mueller’s team and also worked on Presidential briefings in addition his fisa court forgery duties.

Maybe the handle of the zipper. He plead out. That’s not for free.

This is more important than at first glance.

I remember WH reporters at press briefings, snidely and softly asking...”What about Carter Page?”

Far more than once, that question was asked. Page is what set up the whole. The reporters had NO ClUE that Page was a CIA asset. This is delicious for me.

OH, and the reporters did not know about Page being CIA because Klineschmit kept that little gem to himself.

IMHO, people should accept the good news and await further. There will be more in ObamaGate, not less.


Absolutely not. “Awaiting” is how we got within 80 days of the end of Trump’s term before getting any substantive results against the coupists.

Trump’s first and possibly only term been irreperably haremd and is gone. 60 million Trump voters have been disenfranchised and you can thank the do-nothing GOP for that. Hard questions need to be asked of the GOP. Why did they do nothing in 2017 when they knew the FBI was lying? Why was the fact Clinesmith lied not uncovered in 2017 by Congressional oversight? If necessary support must be withdrawn from a GOP that has done little but aid and abet this ongoing coup against a GOP POTUS.

Ok, don’t wait for Labor Day or thereabout. You can ask why not 2017 and if you need an answer to it, I’m not going to be the one to break it to you.

Happy now?

The Durham action is coming anyway.

There you have it, the MSM line that any Spygate conviction is just a ploy to reelect Trump.

Sickening.
