Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith was sentenced to 12 months probation and 400 hours of community service Friday after pleading guilty to making a false statement in the first criminal case arising from now-Special Counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Trump-Russia probe.
That’s it! That’s all he got!
He pled guilty in August.
U.S. District Judge for the District of Columbia James Boasberg on Friday during Clinesmith’s sentencing hearing said Clinesmith had suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane.
This is more evidence of a two-tiered system.
The Justice Department relied on Clinesmith’s assertion as it submitted a third and final renewal application in 2017 to eavesdrop on Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
This guy also ruined Carter Page’s life.
Does anyone think John Durham is really going to do his job? Democrats got away with a literal coup.

General Flynn admits making a false verbal statement under oath (under duress) and gets totally destroyed financially and sentenced to prison. Praises to President Trump for rightly giving him a full pardon.
Clinesmith ALTERS DOCUMENTS to be presented to the FISA court as EVIDENCE and gets 12 months of probation and 400 hours of community service…a mere slap on the wrist.
The sorry bastard deserved to lose his job and should have “suffered by losing his job and standing in the eye of a media hurricane.” He should also have been sentenced to PRISON.
If the liberals didn’t have a double standard, they’d have NO STANDARDS AT ALL!
Boasberg is also now the presiding judge over the secret FISA court. he just gave a green light to the OBiden administration to carry on with spying on whoever, we have you covered !!!!!!
Quite some time ago I wrote this would happen. You can always count on the Shadow Government to protect their own. Clinesmith’s defense of his actions wouldn’t even get past the slowest of persons.
I guess the copy of the report the judge read had the “viva la resistance” redacted.
They got away with doing as they pleased Barr covered for them.
