Several prominent Republican lawmakers strongly criticized a judge's sentence Friday that resulted in probation and no prison time for the only person charged in the Justice Department's investigation into the origins of alleged Trump-Russia collusion.
Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith received a sentence of 12 months probation and 400 hours community service from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg during a video hearing. Clinesmith pleaded guilty to altering an CIA email used to support a government wiretap of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Boasberg, who also is on the FISA court, denied special counsel John Durham's recommendation of up to six months in prison. The judge said Clinesmith had suffered the loss of a well-paying job and a career in government service.
Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told the Washington Examiner that "once again, we see a two-tiered system of justice where average Americans get investigated and imprisoned based on fake media narratives like 'Russian collusion' while government officials who perpetuated these abuses get off scot-free."

Yep. Exactly. Hence the “I was proud to be an American” meme above.
And Lindsey Graham will be on the Sunday Morning Talk Shows telling everyone he will be sending a strongly worded letter.
Nope. Yes to war but that war will be organized around states as sovereign and making military alliances with each other. You always do that. You assume if FedGov collapses then the 50 state governments collapse too. That is the opposite of what will happen. Your juvenile understanding of the political world is startling to me...
The government official at the center, literally lied to MANUFACTURE a crime from thin air to create the atmosphere which engulfed the inner circle of the president, that dude gets a pass because he lost a job he wasn’t capable of dutifully performing - this kind of crap is why so many in officialdom are worried for their own safety.
Did you miss this in your hasty scan?
“My current vote is on #3, but the outcomes will vary greatly region by region. In any case, it’s very unlikely that we’ll still have all fifty states operating under our current constitution a decade from now. The best advice that I can give to anyone reading this is to move as far away as possible from Democrat-run cities, especially when these cities are located in Democrat-run states.”
they didn’t seem too outraged when it was going on and they knew it was bs. Didn’t even speak up except to threaten Trump be better not fire Mueller.
Breaking a couple of windows and wandering around the Capitol for an hour = Insurrection.
Misusing the full force of the country’s intelligence services and secret police to remove an elected president = business as usual.

hell yes.
The cynic in me thinks this weasel could probably score some Federal backwater position to continue his self-service.
Actions like this from a typical obama judge are what is causing the seething anger among Americans concerned for their children’s future. Scores of agents, a dozen vehicles, sent at 4 am after a leak to a friendly so-called journalist, who would witness the takedown of a non-violent 70 year old man (Roger Stone) and his wife, who was then tried and jailed . . .

it’s sickening
Probably true.
And he’ll meet the judge and other deep state pals for drinks at some Georgetown bar and laugh about it all.
LOL, GET USED TO IT! Plenty to be OURAGED about, regardless of whether the left prosecutes its own criminals or not.
Anybody remember the “Crowdstrike Report”?
Nobody asked to see it except for Roger Stone’s attorneys, leaving me to wonder what on earth these outraged GOP members were doing before, during, and after impeachment #1.
They should be embarrassed not outraged. Besides, they don’t really give a damn.
Was it a blistering chorus of “Ha-rumph, Ha-Rumph!”?
Compare his treatment with that of Dinesh D’Souza.
GOP outraged? They don’t even have the balls to be slightly irritated
Take the pipeline suspension to the judge. See if he will utter the same words, ‘the workers have suffered the loss of a well paying job, and a career in the oil service industry.’
Barr did exactly what the Deep State instructed him to do when they installed him at the DOJ: bluster, wave his arms, and give a slap on the wrist to one fall guy, while whitewashing the rest of the criminals in DOJ, FBI and Capitol Hill. Barr is treasonous scum.
““We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges,” Mr. Roberts said . “What we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them.””
Sure, John, anything YOU say...
