NYT reporting the FBI official under criminal investigation is Kevin Clinesmith

quote:
Investigators for the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, uncovered errors and omissions in documents related to the wiretapping of a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page...
quote:
Clinesmith took an email from an official at another federal agency that contained several assertions, then added material to the bottom that looked like another assertion from the email’s author, when it was instead his own understanding.
Clinesmith included this altered email in a package that he compiled for another F.B.I. official to read in preparation for signing an affidavit that would be submitted to the court attesting to the facts and analysis in the wiretap application.
Clinesmith worked on both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Russia investigation. He was among the F.B.I. officials removed by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, after Mr. Horowitz found text messages expressing political animus against Mr. Trump.
quote:
He said “my god damn name is all over the legal documents investigating [Trump’s] staff” the day after the Nov 2016 election

Clinesmith has very likely cut a deal with the DOJ which is why his name was leaked first. He hadn't cut a deal they powers that be would never have allowed his name to be leaked to CNN of all places. The Democrats threw him to the wolves last night once they found out he was working on reducing his sentence I suspect.

Normally I would say yes but Clinesmith is a lot more instrumental than you think in this entire affair. They didn't put him on the Mueller team to investigate Trump if they thought he was a low level staff attorney who wasn't loyal to the cause.

He was part of “the resistance” and now the million dollar question is will he name the rest of “the resistance” or will he fall on the sword himself

Administrative error.
Let's investigate administrative errors and use that as a shiny object to distract the people from that fact that we are ignoring the most important fact of all:
THERE WAS NO PREDICATE TO OBTAIN THE FISA WARRANT
That is the crime.
But, more shiny object to follow while the PRIMARY crime is ignored.

FBI Lawyer Who Sent Anti-Trump ‘Resistance’ Text Message Interviewed George Papadopoulos
Oh.
quote:
An FBI attorney who sent anti-Trump text messages — including one calling for “resistance” against Trump — took part in at least one interview last year with George Papadopoulos, the former Trump campaign adviser who has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
quote:
The lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, was part of the FBI team that interviewed Papadopoulos on Feb. 16, 2017, a source familiar with the interview tells TheDCNF.
quote:
The OIG report said FBI Attorney 2 sent numerous text messages criticizing Trump. The attorney worked on the Clinton probe and was also the FBI’s lead attorney on the investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government. He joined Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation early last year but left this February after the discovery of his anti-Trump texts.
Oh.
quote:
Asked in one text message after the election if he had changed his mind about Trump, Clinesmith wrote: “Hell no. Viva le resistance.”

Clinesmith was NOT some "low-level" "line-atty". There is a ZERO % chance those running this scam would allow some BS nobody to get close enough to or much less participate in ANY form of this. This dudes' boss was Peter Strozk, no fricking way the director of counterintelligence at the FBI allows some green shithead to get in on anything even remotely close to something/anything of this magnitude.

Unless they were deliberately using somebody expendable.

Did they use the same damn agents for everything. All these guys are on Clinton email investigation, clearing her, then moved to spying on Trump, falsifying FISA requests, then moved to the Mueller investigation. Not just Clinesmith, but Comey, McCabe, Stzrok; shite!!!!!

the trump base: "They didn't put him on the Mueller team to investigate Trump if they thought he was a low level staff attorney who wasn't loyal to the cause."
Reality: "He was among the F.B.I. officials removed by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, after Mr. Horowitz found text messages expressing political animus against Mr. Trump."

This is the “vive la resistance” FBI agent?

Absolutely.
But they were all in on it.

Your post is pointless.
Attempting to defend these scumbgs is trashy.
