WASHINGTON—A former Federal Bureau of Investigation lawyer is expected to plead guilty Friday to a charge of altering a key document used to justify the surveillance of a onetime Trump campaign adviser, his lawyer said.
Kevin Clinesmith, an attorney who worked with FBI agents on some of the surveillance warrants against the onetime foreign-policy adviser, Carter Page, will plead guilty to a false statement charge involving an email, according to documents filed in federal court on Friday.
Yes knew about this. He admitted he changed some wording. But the DOJ IG, said this didn't affect the warrant. And yes its been proven, not sure how much you need, especially when the REPUBLICANS released the report.

Listen to the bell Comey! It tolls for thee!
He’ll end up dead ?
Another hit from the Murdoch’s mouthpiece? A corrupt Attorney General Barr giving his corrupt Trumpy cover for the election. All that work to just find he altered an email? What was it? spell check or did he miss a comma? 🤣Weak! 🤣
Hmmmmm
Jail?
RealLPoslaiko One small step for justice. Annddd, I’m guessing that’s about all we will see. Shows over. DOJ has shot its wad.
A plea deal for cooperating. Who will he testify against?
You guys think he's talking?
WSJ is a cheap rag shilling for the most corrupt GOP in history. GFY
He's the scapegoat. We know this went much higher than one attorney.
So what came of the bounty Russia put on our soldiers? How come Trump never discussed it?
And what are you doing about the post office what are you doing about Putin what are you doing about the heroes act what are you doing you don’t know how to govern you may not be up for election this time but we’re going to remember and we’re going to vote you out when you are
FYI everyone, we are under attack... have been under attack, and continue to be attacked. They figure is out... our freedom and social media have been turned against us. Let me repeat, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK. Right now. And we are losing. Until we come together.
So was Carter Page working for CIA or not? Was what was added correct or not?
This is how the Obama conspiracy unspools. This guy will get lenient treatment in exchange for flipping on some of the others who, in turn, will flip on still others all the way up the food chain. Same technique was used to take down the Mob with RICO and conspiracy convictions.
Nobody believes you greedy racist.
One down a million to go
First time offenders usually get less than 5 years unless you’re a Republican.
I thought there was no spying and it was all a conspiracy? Need some ketchup for your 100th shit sandwich?
Pretty good at that misinformation Propaganda
Just the start 😃 lots more to come. Not that the twitter crazies do any research and know anything about whats going on! 😃
Wait ....are we talking “Flynn guilty” here or regular guilty?
Sincere question: is this the equivalent of when a police officer knows a crime is occurring but can’t get a search warrant, and then “oops, the front door was off its hinges when I knocked, guess I can check out what’s happening inside”?
One document in a whole package ... misleading news.
Wow
He didn’t do this on his own!!!
I believe the charging must include a Civil Rights Violation that was intentional and malicious. Carter Paige I believe, should have the right to sue for all damages to his career and recover all his monetary expenses and any future remuneration that was lost.
LeonydusJohnson Speaking as a former prosecutor, the man is an abject disgrace.
Wow
Politics a most evil necessary
Wasn't the entire Russia gate narrative concocted on fake evidence to justify a pointless long term expensive investigation that gripped the nation and failed to prove the primary accusation of Russian/Trump collusion...how about convicting MSM and the entire democrat party
The first of several. As much as I dislike Trump, what was done to him around the Russia collusion hoax was a gross abuse of power, waste of resources, and destructive to society.
Fall guy?
Here we go
Barr went on tv saying it wasn’t that big...stop whining
Disbarred?
‘he forwarded email to an FBI agent and added the phrase “and was not a ‘source” to the email, making it look like that language had come from the CIA. ..Mr. Clinesmith appeared to be drawing a distinction between a CIA “source” and a “contact” based on the agency’s definitions.
Tip of the iceberg.
Good. Send him
FYI: Clinesmith is the FBI official who texted 'viva le resistance' after altering evidence so they could spy on the Trump campaign
Altering Documents = Tampering With Evidence ... Attempting to soften this? Liars And Spinners the WEBS they weave. MSMWhores
Aka fall guy
Nothing to see here.
So what? Guilty pleas to a judge doesn’t mean you’re actually guilty. That is what they’re saying about Flynn, right?
After all this time I am shocked that anyone was punished at all. This was a very egregious case ( FBI lawyer forging documents ). Anyone else?
To spy on the trump campaign...all Carter page emails, phone calls & cell phone info... all communications plus the people he communicated with and everyone those people communicated with
Acosta
Read the article about what he did. Am I upset or outraged? No. Are you?
UrineTroubleDonnie
Nothing burger.
An email with a minor error doesn't mean Carter Page isn't a traitor. He is.
Small potatoes
Who cares. Trump is crook.
why not show a picture of the guy who is being arrested? or show a gavel. Another picture of Carter Page with that expression sort of implies he was guilty of something when it is just the opposite, he reported for the CIA
fallguy
T I C K T O C K
Whoa.
The Russians who happen to be in contact with Trump Campaign.
This will get no MSM coverage, shockingly. Crooks
ElizLanders Carter gona get paid one day !!!
“Viva la resistance” Clinesmith
When do Comey,Strok McCabe and the other Obama co-conspirators get brought to justice?
yeah, sure. Meanwhile they are saying Austrailian or UK intel found that 'Q' is Putin and the whole QAnon thing was set up to spread Russian disinformation and exaggerate unfounded rumors like this. Meanwhile, the economy is crashing, 167,000 died of Covid and USPS is attacked
One can hope, at the very least, that Mr Clinesmith loses his license to practice law. This is a serious ethical breach & other lawyers should not look the other way out of partisanship.
As he should
Did they find out if Trump likes his coffee black or not (I know the answer to that) from spying on the coffee boy.
Cárter is gonna SUE their asses!! Good for him. So much for conspiracy theory. This actually happened!
Tell me this guy is not going to be the sacrificial lamb. A no-name lawyer? While Comey, Schiff & Co. get off scott free?
Wow Guess he did not believe in the oath that he took-as Dionne Warwick sang Promises Promises you have to wonder- Morals Morals
Is the news he is pleading guilty ? Because this is an old story. Same one the IG reported on more than a year ago. DESPERATE
Yawn
Treason
No one cares...
People need to understand that carter page has become a political football. It's not about process crime or not - but the exploiting of a person (really a name, an entity) for games of accusation, electioneering, even policy.
The alteration was to clarify only.. gaslighting bastards
We have been too lenient towards Donald Trump.
Imagine if this happened under the Trump admin the entire media class and the political class would be screaming from the nearest rooftops demanding Trump resign and calling for multiple investigations and impeachment
It doesn't matter if you are right or left, what this guy did should scare the hell out of you. He edited documents that exonerated Page and changed them to make him appear guilty. Put your partisanship aside and condemn this crime.
Does that mean Page can sue the government for illegal spying? He should!
Process crime wtf where's the good stuff
His bosses had the unchanged e-mail but used the fake one anyway!!
This was in the IG report.
