WATCHDOG GROUP URGES JUDGE TO INCARCERATE FBI ATTORNEY FOR ALTERING CIA EMAIL TO SPY ON CARTER PAGE
Yahoo ^ | January 28, 2021

Posted on 01/28/2021 6:38:14 PM PST by lowbridge

The National Legal and Policy Center (NLPC), an ethics watchdog group, filed a sentencing memorandum with the federal court in Washington, D.C., calling upon Judge James E. Boasberg, who also presides over the secret Foreign Surveillance Intelligence Court (FISC), to sentence former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith to prison instead of probation at his public virtual sentencing hearing Friday morning at 11:00 a.m.

NLPC also called upon the judge to require Clinesmith to make a video about his crime and express remorse to be used by the Justice Department for their ethics training program for all DOJ and FBI attorneys.

In an August 14, 2020, plea agreement with Special Counsel John H. Durham, who was appointed by Attorney General William Barr to investigate the origins of the 2016 Russia collusion probe known as “Crossfire Hurricane,” Clinesmith admitted that he doctored a June 15, 2017, CIA email by adding that Carter Page, “was not a source” for the CIA in his contacts with Russian sources, when in fact he was a source helping the CIA. The judge will allow Carter Page to speak at the sentencing hearing to describe the injuries he suffered to his reputation by the illegal surveillance warrant.

In late 2019, both the Inspector General Michael Horowitz and the FISC subsequently blasted the FBI for its error-ridden process for obtaining surveillance warrants, including the use of the infamous and unverified “Steele Dossier.” After the 2016 election, Clinesmith texted a colleague “the crazies won finally,” and calling Vice President Mike Pence “stupid.” Asked by a colleague whether he intended to stay in government, he wrote, “viva la resistance.” Similar anti-Trump messages were made by FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Paige.

"... WATCHDOG GROUP URGES JUDGE TO INCARCERATE FBI ATTORNEY FOR ALTERING CIA EMAIL TO SPY ON CARTER PAGE ...:

..... Won't happen ..... The Corruptocrats are now in power and the swamp is now totally respawned with even more swamp creatures than ever before ...... Clinesmith's people are now calling All of the Shots .... Doubt if he will be incarcerated. Jail and Prison Cells are now reserved exclusively for Trump Supporters only ....

I heard that it’s Bai Din but my Chinese isn’t that good, so I have to go to Panda Express.

Incidentally, the last time I was there, some blonde bimbo decided to try to jump in line ahead of me to order because she was in a hurry. I politely told her that she could order once I was finished.

Durham put his Never Trumper Girlfriend in charge.

She did nothing and was simple running out the clock.

Clinesmith’s lawyer showed up with client, and said we want to make a deal. Durham’s girlfriend was like - WTH, who’s here?

The only minnow is there because his Lawyer actually drove to Prosecutor’s office and wanted to be heard.

Do we really even need to have courts and judges anymore?

I went to Panda Express once years ago and ordered Kung Pao chicken. I took it home and devoured it, starving as I was from not eating all day. Unfortunately, I had just worked hard all day in the Arizona sun. The combination disagreed with me in a way in will not share.

That was my very last Chinese meal. Ever.

Ouch!

I went for the Beef and Asparagus. That has its own side effects.

But I enjoyed it. IIRC it wasn’t cheap.

Which is why I’m often at Taco Bell and ordering from the $1 menu.

I did splurge for a combo meal at McD the other day.

2 cheeseburgers, fries and a drink. Now that’s some high living I tell ya.

There were a number of Deep Stater people who conspired to
mislead this court.

They all seem to have gotten off scott free.

We try to prepare our own food these days — much cheaper and tastier. The other day I smoked some baby back ribs that were on sale. But even a nice homemade ham sandwich is better than restaurant food.

Yea, that will happen...NOT. We couldn’t even get a criminal like Hillary charged and we were holding all the cards. The criminal clowns running the Circus now are certainly NOT going to let the “law” come after any of them.

Imagine being asked to serve your country by assisting with monitoring a spy, and then some bureaucrat uses that contact to assert that YOU are a spy, and attempt to prosecute your friends for being associated with you.

This was a very big deal what Clinesmith did.

Anything less than ten years for this criminal is an insult to between 75 and 100 million and patriotic Americans. At this point, I believe many Americans feel that there is no such thing as Party anymore. You either are a Patriot by your actions and writings or you are not! Period!

Blow up and scrape clean the lot the FBI headquarters building sits on in Washington D.C. and fire ALL employees with demonstrated LEFTIST records or that were hired by Obama or Biden. Then spread all remainder personnel out in 50 offices nationwide. No badges. No guns. Limit lawyers to no more than 10% of total personnel with the Director holding absolute firing/hiring authority. Disinter McCarthy!
