"That's kind of an alarming bit of news," Bharara said. "If there was an FBI agent sworn to uphold the constitution who can be proven to have altered a document in connection with a legal proceeding, including the obtaining of a FISA warrant, that's really serious. It doesn't get more serious on that."

That this is news at all is alarming.

Law Enforcement up and down the chain falsify evidence to "get the bad guys" all the time.

And, "Law and Order Conservatives" support it.

“for reasons I personally do not comprehend, has enthralled millions ever since”

It offers the dream of a utopia in the here and now for those who have embraced materialism and thereby lost the hope of a utopia in the hereafter.

Humans can decide that they want to live by pure logic and reason, and only believe in the things that they can verify and touch, but their heart still yearns for what it yearns for. So, while they deny the idea of God and an afterlife, they still inevitably try and replace those things with something else... God with the Almighty State, and the afterlife with the “fairness” and “justice” the State promises to deliver.

So the ENTIRE MUELLER witch hunt was predicated on an FBI-forged FISA warrant? This should be a capital crime.

If heads don’t roll over this, we are truly lost.

Without a doubt this all comes from the Kenyan. Zero doubt about that.

Yeah, Kevin Clinesmith seems to be the one.

He was also one of the lawyers who questioned Papadopoulos.

It will interesting to see how far this unravels. But what I've read, Horowitz is saying the FISA app on Page was legal. Even with the fake email attached. The deep staters are very good at covering tracks.

Conservative Treehouse explains how the actors are inferred from the Washington Post story...

The Washington Post Helps Identify FBI Lawyer Who Altered FISA Docs…

Posted November 22, 2019 by sundance

At 8:15pm last evening Washington Post journalist Devlin Barrett posted a supportive article for the CNN (Manu Raju) news exclusive that outlined an “FBI Official” who was under criminal investigation as an outcome of the inspector general review of FISA.

The original WaPo article by Devlin Barrett noted the FBI official was actually a “line-level” lawyer who worked “under FBI Agent Peter Strzok.”

At 12:15am, the WaPo article was significantly edited, two more journalists (Ellen Nakashima and Matt Zapotosky) were added to the byline. Unfortunately, no explanation or notation of the changes were given.

~ Above: 8:15pm Washington Post Screen Grab prior to 12:15am edit ~

However, that said, the edit(s) help to identify the identity of the FBI lawyer. The updated article removed the references to Peter Strzok, and identifies the line-level lawyer thus:

[…] The person under scrutiny is a low-level FBI lawyer who has since been forced out of the agency, according to the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss material that has not yet been made public.

The employee was forced out of the FBI after the incident was discovered, two U.S. officials said. Horowitz found that the employee erroneously indicated he had documentation to back up a claim he had made in discussions with the Justice Department about the factual basis for the application. He then altered an email to back up that erroneous claim, they said. (link)

If you have followed the case closely, the intentional removal of Peter Strzok in combination with the explanation of the lawyer’s FISA responsibilities; and in combination with prior reporting of FBI lawyer 2; it seems pretty obvious the line-level lawyer was Kevin Clinesmith.

Actually, he was fired from his day job by President Trump, lol. The fact that the wheels are starting to come off the coup bus must make him very unhappy.

Me, I’m having more delicious schadenfreude with my coffee.

That Strozk and Page are some tag team
