In August, FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith pled guilty to a felony count of making a false statement while working to secure FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) surveillance on Trump campaign foreign policy adviser Carter Page.
In the early days of the Russian probe, an FBI official had asked if Page had served as a source for the government, as Page maintained; Clinesmith falsely altered a document by adding "not a source" in a fourth FISA application.

Clinesmith's punishment for making a false statement? Prosecutors recommended three to six months, according to Politico. Federal Judge James Boasberg instead sentenced Clinesmith to 12 months' probation and 400 hours of community service.
Carter Page generously testified that he did not want Clinesmith to serve time.
"I don't want him to go to prison" either, former Department of Justice spokesman Mark Corallo told me. But given that Page's Fourth Amendment rights were violated, "shouldn't his law license be taken away?"
Now we learn, Clinesmith cut a deal with the D.C. Bar that, if approved, would allow him to practice law in August.
Corallo is appalled. Clinesmith "shouldn't be allowed to practice law. He violated somebody's constitutional rights," said Corallo. FBI staff shouldn't use their authority for partisan payback.
"When cops break the rules, we're supposed to hammer them," said Corallo. Not in this justice system and with these career bureaucrats.
Random Trump liars go to jail while the FBI liar doesn't.
The New York Supreme Court suspends the former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani's law license while a federal judge agrees to allow Clinesmith to return to the law. Yes, I know, Giuliani is an embarrassment, but unlike Clinesmith, he hasn't been convicted of a felony.

It's TIME to DownSize DC!
Restore the Constitution!Size DC!
Just try to imagine what a big story that would be if an FBI attorney made false statements to secure surveillance on an Obama campaign advisor.
No one.
All of the authorities are in on it.
We now have a communist dictatorship.
Yep.
WE NEED A SOECIAL COURT SYSTEM SET UP WITH SPECIAL PROSECUTORS.
Every rat in the Deep State from Biden on down needs to face a special court.
A military tribunal might be appropriate but Milley and some of the other Rats in the Pentagon need to be brought to justice

Was thinking exactly that.
This is Durham exposing himself. Out of everything that was done by people at the top of every agency, they give one low-level guy a slap on the wrist.
New Title...”Who will Prosecute the PERSECUTORS’???
Or just imagine the howling and screaming the clown-show MSM would have done if an FBI director like(James Comey) would have gone to the white house and tried to blackmail Obama with a phony dossier paid for by their republican opponent. But of course, since it was Trump being targeted by Hillary and Obama... Crickets.
Carved in stone above an entrance to the DOJ in DC, “Where Justice Ends, Tyranny Begins” About says it all Yes.
