Deep State Lawyer Kevin Clinesmith Texted ‘Viva la Resistance’ to FBI Colleague After Trump Won
Breitbart ^ | August 14 2020 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 08/15/2020 12:16:19 AM PDT by knighthawk

Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith, who plans to plead guilty for falsifying documents in the investigation of President Donald Trump’s campaign, was found to have sent several anti-Trump texts after Trump was elected.

“Viva le resistance,” he texted an FBI colleague in November 2016 after Trump won when he was asked if he would serve in the Trump administration.

Clinesmith’s texts and the decision to alter the email were featured in the report issued by the Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

Since Hoover died, they have never elevated anyone from within the agency to lead it. That plus the headquarters has been staffed primarily from the outside. I know several retired agents who are very conservative, are Trump supporters, and they are furious with Comey and with the “get Trump” conspiracy. I’ve know them for years - home towners. They point out how poor appointed leadership over the years has opened the FBI to political pressures that probably not happened if an FBI trained assistant director had taken over. They mention several who would been good directors but were never considered.

“Operation Werwolf”

Interesting reading. A lot of similarities to what’s going on today with the Left embedded in the govt.

Therefore one can believe until shown otherwise that Clinesmith rolled or at least coughed up enough incriminating evidence up the food chain to move the investigation closer to the 7th floor if not to the White House itself.

This.

The statements from his lawyer back you up. Everything he said made it sound like the "deal" was done and the outcome for his client had been predetermined.

I wish some of these talk shows would get some of these retired agents on, folks who had boots on the ground. I guess they have NDA’s?

The retired agents I know did not sign any NDA and talk freely. Of course, these are older guys like me and have been retired for maybe 15-20+ years. However, they still have some contacts in government, one does..

In fact, as critical as Horowitz’s report was toward Clinesmith for maliciously and willfully altering the documents used to justify spying on Page, he highlighted the errors of others, including “Case Agent 1,” thought to be FBI agent Steven Somma, as well. “When Case Agent 1 was explicitly asked in late September 2016 by the Attorney assisting on the FISA application about Page’s prior relationship with this other agency, Case Agent 1 did not accurately describe the nature and extent of the information the FBI received from the other agency,” Horowitz wrote.

“Case Agent 1 was primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions in the FISA applications,” Horowitz wrote, highlighting as well Somma’s mischaracterization of Steele’s prior reporting as credible, the failure to note that Steele’s reporting of a “well-developed conspiracy of cooperation between Trump and Russia” was contradicted by statements from George Papadopoulos, the failure to note Steele’s reporting of communications between Paul Manafort and Carter Page was disputed, the failure to note that Steele’s claim of Page meeting with Russian businessman Igor Sechin and Russian official Igor Divyekin was disputed, the failure to note DOJ official Bruce Ohr’s discrediting comments on Steele’s election reporting, and the failure to note that Steele’s sub-source Igor Danchenko disputed Steele’s reporting. Horowitz said he “did not find his explanations for so many significant and repeated failures to be satisfactory.”

Somma was also the agent who handled Stefan Halper, the individual who was identified as spreading some of the false information about Mike Flynn, Trump’s National Security Advisor who was illegally targeted by the FBI and ousted

SO WHY HASN’T MIZ LINDSEY ASKED SOMMA TO TESTIFY??

Why does it take YEARs for this shit to come to light? This IS THE PROBLEM in making the public complacent!!

It is the "long march through the institutions" that Antonio Gramsci advocated.

“my *** damned name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff.”

And whose fault is that, little boy? If you’d done the right thing all along the way your damned name wouldn’t be there.

Another skanky FBI attorney with scuzzy greasy hair, and probably has an odor that would knock a buzzard off a sh!t wagon.

One does wonder what ‘other’ legal documents (plural) he’s referencing “his name is all over”.

That’s true. I’ve only heard one doc discussed, but he’s using the plural. We are in interesting times.

We're in a time of dangerous deception and social manipulation. Just yesterday Pelosi called for a protest at our Federal Post offices.... Just think about that a minute....it's beyond appalling.... Pelosi has admitted ‘the truth’ that it is the Democrat party leadership orchestrating and calling for the riots and destruction we see throughout the nation.

It took just hours from Pelosi’s call to protest for thugs to show up last night at the Postal Generals Home!!!!!

There is no question about Pelosi, and those with her, who's hands are all over the violence and destruction we see.
