#1 A blinding flash of the painfully obvious, but this is very likely a much larger issue than Kevin Clinesmith and his altering of mail.

#2 Bigger than H2Ogate. Far bigger.

Sickening

#3 One reliable thing about an American leftist, once you have them dead to rights with no viable escape they all regress into 6 year olds explaining to teacher.

#4 Clinesmith worked as an attorney on the Hillary Clinton whitewash and also on the Mueller witch hunt.

He didn't just show up one day and say "I'm ready boss for the whitewash and Mueller witch hunt (sarc)?"

#5 U don't get intel source data on Google or the public library. There are official channels for requesting and approval for utilization.

#6 The sentence will tell the story. Going to bet it's a spit in the ocean compared to what they were planning to do to Flynn.

#7 /\ Exactly Mike. I'm sure Clinesmith is the designated 'goat' and legal action will drag on and on with the Deep State's hope no one will dig any deeper than Clinesmith and his actions.

Clinesmith is now under the bus, but the FBI and the entire intelligence community are seated comfortably ON the same bus.

Your mention of Mike Flynn is interesting. Perhaps Flynn had 'back channel' knowledge of the FBI's Carter Page project. Flynn was a lifelong Human Intelligence (HUMINT) officer. Might have been more to his removal from DIA and follow-on legal problems than meets the eye.

Just a thought.

#8 1-6 months sentence in Club Fed sounds like a whitewash. Cynical? You bet.

#9 /\ If he lives that long.

#10 Explanation?

But...but...but...

#11 "At the time I believed the information I was providing in the email was accurate, but I am agreeing that the information I inserted into the email was not already there"

"So, you see, I had this true document and all I did was make it more truthy by adding some true words to it..."

Right, and that's called "fraud on the court." At the very least he should lose his bar shingle. It wouldn't have mattered if he added true words, false words, or "For a good time call Hillary."

#12 He has plea bargained promising cooperation. If he doesn't roll over on his comrades, throw the book at him

#13 Hope Kevin checked into the 'Clinton Body Count' before starting to talk.

#14 I dunno but some have said he will get a wrist slap much like James Wolfe did (virtually no consequences).
