Attorney General Bill Barr said last night on ‘Hannity’ that there would be ‘not earth-shaing’ news in the Durham probe today. The news turned out to be that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith will plead guilty to making a false statement.
The Durham probe is a review of the investigation into Trump-Russia collusion which proved there was no collusion.
The department’s watchdog, Michael Horowitz, referred Clinesmith for potential prosecution in their separate investigation.
Clinesmith altered an email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page to say that he “was not a source” for another government agency. Page was a source for the CIA. The DOJ relied on the email for the 3rd and 4th spy renewal applications which allowed them to eavesdrop on Page under FISA.
Clinesmith will plead guilty to one count of making a false statement, his attorney Justin Shur told The Associated Press.

Understand Killary “weaseled” out of testifying on her e-mails…some of the media claiming “independence” from the MSM, like the Western Journal, appear to be “toeing the line” on political correctness and “upsetting” snowflakes…the road to November appears to be coming under heavy “control”…social media is “ramping up” their censorship mode and false “fact(?)” checking…under the guise of “covid” the Demoncraps are going ALL OUT for the mail vote..an epic fraud in the offing???…wonder how much longer you guys are going to be “independent”???
You’re quite the fisherman AG Barr. How many mote sardines do you plan on reeling in your catch and release fishing expedition?
Barr actually allowed a single charge, just to protect his reputation. Give him a merit badge.
He cherry picked the least political case, because he is a coward.
He threw out similar charges on Comey & McCabe, rock solid referrals, therefore this is a show.
Wonder if he rolled over on somebody a little higher up? Bet I’m not the only one wondering that right about now.
The Reagan optimist in me hopes he’s the first domino to fall. The pragmatist in me feels like lots more need to fall before the election.
The BIG QUESTION that Durham undoubtably knows is who ordered this low level operative to make the alteration and false statement?
