Watching Adam Goldman twist himself into a pretzel to NOT report the fact that the FBI/DOJ lied to the court about Page, saying he was a "was an agent of a foreign power" when in fact he was a "CIA source". It's like watching Circe de Soleil at the peak of their powers.
There's literally 20 paragraphs about Russia, collusion, Mueller, Republicans, Trump, Barr etc. etc. etc. before Adam finally in the 21st paragraph tells you what Clinesmith actually did.
When the New York Times needs twenty paragraphs to prepare their readers to confront the truth ...
then the truth is winning!
You got your scalp, now shut up about it.
Obamagate attorney that altered FISA documents pleads guilty to Forgery
“I have to admit I enjoyed every single sentence of this article.”

You should, especially since it’s apparently what the almost 4 years of tick-tocking was all about. Small fish got caught.
“Mr. Clinesmith’s lawyer said he made a mistake while trying to clarify facts for a colleague.”
By making it look like THE OPPOSITE of what the original said. Yeah, that’s some real “clarifying”.
OK, this is just the tip of the iceberg. How about those FReepers that keep saying nothing will ever be done???
All the [bleep] that we can print
@CBSNews
has learned that after FBI records were declassified by
@DNI_Ratcliffe
last month further implicating Clinesmith, his lawyer approached Durham’s office about a deal.

I find the very last paragraph the most significant:
“Mr. Durham, who has previously investigated F.B.I. and C.I.A. abuses, has not tipped his hand at what he has found, though Mr. Barr has said some of the findings are “troubling.” Mr. Durham has said in a rare statement that he disagreed with some of Mr. Horowitz’s conclusions about how and why the F.B.I. opened the inquiry in the summer of 2016.”
Durham appears to have found criminal motive, something Horowitz went out of his way to obscure.
Thank you for enduring the entire article for the rest of us. I started reading at para 21 as you indicated.
Fall guy!!!
(Certainly not Obama, Biden, or Hillary -- they would be untouchable. Shouldn't be, but they are.)
“The lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, 38,”
Who?
Smallest of the small potatoes.
Yawn.
Adam Goldman wrote, “Attorney General William P. Barr has portrayed Mr. Durham’s work as rectifying what he sees as injustices by officials who sought in 2016 to understand links between the Trump campaign and Russia’s covert operation to interfere in the election.”
This is a bald faced lie and Goldman knows it. There was never an effort to understand links between the Trump campaign and Russia’s covert operation to interfere in the election. There was plenty of effort expended to CREATE the appearance of Russian interference that never existed.
It is so much fun to watch the New York Times chase its tail like a well trained dog.
This is the development that Barr alluded to last night on Hannidy? I agree with AG Barr, this isn’t earth shaking.
if they indict all who had a hand in helping barry go after Trump, maybe the public will figure higher up was in up to their eyeballs.
maybe thats as much as we can get.
“injustices by officials who sought in 2016 to understand links between the Trump campaign and Russia’s covert operation to interfere in the election.”
This is troubling language. “sought to understand”? This was a setup, a fraudulent investigation, that set America back decades, by hamstringing the President during his entire first term.
Not with you totally!
“political payback” should be prosecuting criminals, jmho!
***********************************************
Mr. Trump has long been blunt about seeing the continuing investigation by the prosecutor examining the earlier inquiry, John H. Durham, as ***political payback*** whose fruits he would like to see revealed in the weeks before the election.
Goldman is literally the Maginot Line for the MSM.
Here’s some reaction to Goldsmith’s pretzel twisting.
