#1 It's important because it's one of a whole cluster of lies all oriented in the direction of spying on Trump. Clinesmith didn't start this. He's too small. He was told to do it.

#3 No the dam will not break - its holding out for its new Swamp King, Biden. Just look at all those former GOP people like McCain (spit) wife, Powell, and all the other swamp anti-trumpers speaking out at the DNC.

Unless Trump is re-elected they will hold out in hopes that Biden and the swamp-GOP will rescue them.

#4 And, if Trump is re-elected, just keeping them all lawyered up for the next four years will hurt their a$$es plenty.

#5 I'm not all that excited.
I have seen this Upper level CYA political process play out too many times.

What we maybe be seeing is the Deep State has found their needed and semi-willing scapegoat(s).

Now the Deep State owned media can go to work to hint and argue now that ______ was the root cause of everything that transpired and _____ hoodwinked the others up and in the chain.

As is usually the case.
Those that get outed, charged and convicted will have a long drawn out or short hidden media process depending on which side to political spectrum they are on. Resulting in either a quick plea to bury it with a light slap. Or a long drawn out trial that the public's short attention span will get bored of and switch channels in 3 to 5 days. Both accomplishing the same goal, the Deflection of public attention from the real persons until after the election.

At most we may see a few other low level flunkies, get dragged into the media mud to accomplish their deflective goals.

Worry not tho.
DC appointed Scapegoats that have taken the time to have well documented "protection", are often well rewarded.

However, IF the person actually poses a uncontrollable threat to upper levels ... well accidents do happen.

#6 /\ NN2N1's above comment is a very likely outcome. It sort of mirrors the Jeffrey Epstein saga and conclusion.

#7 NN2N1, your thoughts are a cogent summary of how I pretty much believe this will play out.

Without all my incoherent cussing, of course.

#8 The corruption and arrogance of the [sarc on]Entitlement Class (TM)[/sarc off] extends right into the Republican-controlled uniparty Senate, which is why there hasn’t yet been an accounting.

#9 Nothing will truly happen until the election. Then if Trump wins, sometime after new years the dam will break as these weasels try to save their own butts.

The question is how far will it go up the chain and how much evidence will there be against those folks to do anything.

They should have cut deals blaming Obama earlier in the summer. Save their buts while daring Trump to go after Obama. Media would claim it was a politically motivated witch hunt. black vote would desert Trump.

#10 *Sigh* Concur with #5 NN21's offering.

If Biden wins -- fizzle, then silence.
If Trump is reelected -- Kabuki Theater with an expanding cast of disposable pawns.
