John Durham, the U.S. attorney appointed by Atty. Gen. William Barr to investigate the origins of the Russian probe, now has something to show for his work.On Tuesday, former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleaded guilty to Durham’s charge that he falsified a document: He added his own words to another’s email and forwarded it up the line.
As Barr himself said on Fox News, Clinesmith’s plea was “not earth-shattering.” But that hasn’t stopped the president and his allies from making the Clinesmith case a portent of future prosecutions against FBI brass and “the Obama-Biden Administration” for spying on his 2016 campaign.. “The fact is they spied on my campaign and they got caught. And you’ll be hearing more.” Sen. Lindsey Graham was among the cheerleaders who seconded that sentiment.
And Horowitz, who detected 17 significant errors or omissions in the FBI’s surveillance-warrant process — specifically found no evidence of bias or improper motives on the part of the agency. It’s even debatable whether Clinesmith’s conduct is a crime at all. The statute under which he was convicted requires proof that he added the words and forwarded the email “knowing the same to contain any materially false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement or entry.” The judge at his plea hearing asked Clinesmith if, when he added “and not a source” to the email, that he knew it was “in fact not true.”There followed a prolonged, awkward silence.
