...FBI's Peter Strzok Altering a FISA Warrant Is Alarming, 'Doesn't Get More Serious' (Preet/CNN)
Townhall ^ | Nov 22, 2019 | Katie Pavlich

Posted on 11/22/2019 8:17:35 AM PST by LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget

CNN legal analyst and former U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Preet Bharara, who was fired by President Trump in 2017, says the news that former FBI agent Peter Strzok altered or forged a FISA warrant application used against Trump campaign associate Carter Page is "alarming."

"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's not a good thing. It's a terrible thing," he continued. "Law enforcement agents and prosecutors who work with them are sworn to uphold the constitution, sure, but actually even exceed the protections of the constitution. They have to be of the utmost integrity and the utmost candor. Especially when you're making a representation to the court, which is what a FISA application is. It's gotta be on the up-and-up."

That’s okay, I’ve been shot at before. LOL! And, I can tell you, looking down the barrel of a .22 with a deranged ex holding it, it looks like a 16” gun on the New Jersey. :0)

I thought it was an FBI low level lawyer for Strzok (not Page) who did the altering.

So the clowns (CIA) are throwing the FBI under the bus. Nice start. Let the under the bus throwing begin.

And Ralph Kramden has the bus all warmed up for his route. Someday, wham, pow, to the Moon, Dems.

Conservative Treehouse identifies the “line-level” lawyer who worked “under FBI Agent Peter Strzok” that the Washington Post referenced (before they deleted it) as Kevin Clinesmith.

Maybe, they are both criminals regardless, but I thought in the past week I saw reports of texts where they were discussing Strzok’s wife having obtained his phone and being suspicious over flowers that Strzok sent Page and how they were going to respond in order to conceal whatever the real deal was. IDK, maybe all part of the coverup.

If his wife did find that stuff in Strzok’s phone, then there probably was something going on.

And how STUPID is a top-level FBI exec if he maintains a love affair over a phone his wife has access to? You’d think a top-level FBI guy would at least get a burner phone to conduct his funny business. It doesn’t say much for the IQ of these people. Much like using “password” as your password.

I’m listening to Rush and honestly it’s very depressing! He makes a lot of sense though, explaining why the leak was leaked to CNN! He also said Horowitz is part of the cabal group of those who testified at the impeachment inquiry! Folks let’s not kid ourselves from the very beginning we knew that the swamp would not convict their own! If someone is convicted it’ll be a stupid sap working in the basement with no rank whatsoever!

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.

It's OBVIOUS which way Strzok's door swings.

I think peter's door swings both ways.

He loves to sit on the dildo while he gives lewinskys.

But, he will hit it if she is masculine enough.

Yes and it’s the same phone that was filled with official business. I think I remember that before Congress was provided the Strzok texts, the FBI (DOJ? somebody) went through them and withheld texts that were purely personal. (According to the reviewer’s decidedly non-MAGA judgement, I’d imagine.) Anyway, yes, everything is wrong with this. You’d think that at a minimum, a top counter-intel guy would have had his phone password protected such that even his wife could not access it.

Oh yes does get more serious. They forgot to add a small detail about the FISA warrant being used to spy on a an opponents Presidential campaign. Now THAT is serious.
