FBI lawyer that lied to judge on FISA warrant will be able to practice law again in August after zero jail time

The Russiagate coverup rolls merrily along, with the agitprop media almost completely ignoring a startling instance of the deep state taking care of its own, even when they are caught red-handed committing grave felonies.

Does the name Kevin Clinesmith ring a bell? He’s the FBI lawyer that lied on a FISA warrant in order to be able to spy on the Trump campaign by falsely implicating Carter Page. He was caught red-handed in altering an email 180 degrees.

Lying to a judge is a serious offense for anyone. But for an officer of the court, one who works for the government and has a heightened obligation to serve justice, to lie to a court is a very serious breach. Failure to punish government officials who perjure themselves in order to spy on innocent citizens and a presidential campaign invites the worst kind of abuse. It plants the seeds of tyranny.

Special Counsel John Durham was not interested in punishing Clinesmith severely, but at least he did ask for prison time last December, albeit under six months’ worth. But federal judge James Boasberg, the very judge lied to, was sympathetic to Clinesmith and sentenced him to 12 months of probation and 400 hours of community service in January.

Judge Boasberg was appointed to the federal Bench by Obama, and placed on the FISA court by Chief Justice Roberts. He is reportedly a member of Skull & Bones, the ultra-elite secret society at Yale University.

Now, very quietly, word has spread that Clinesmith will be able to practice law again in just a couple of months.

Unequal justice is not justice and is destroying the country…

I would HOPE that Carter Page has a legitimate case.

I pray Carter sues the whole FBI, DOJ and Phony FISA system.

Indeed laws are only for those who that are not involved in it.

The highly coveted Federal Employee “Get Out of Jail Free Card” proves it’s worth and value again as a perk of being a federal employee.

With the dual track justice system firmly in place where federal employees and the elites can commit any crime and the rest of us are buried by the state the federal bureaucrat and elites have reached a state of nirvana, much like the aristocracy of France circa 1778-1779. We all know how that sleigh ride turned out for them, will history repeat itself, time will tell.

Isn’t everything that comes from the Democrats a lie?
