Sacrificial offering?

A bigger fish told him to alter the email, he would not do it without direction. He provided that name, more evidence to convict a higher up. Typical way they do these investigations.

He accidentally altered an email to provide incriminating evidence to the fisa court. Could happen to anyone. The end.

Everyone knew what Clinesmith did and what he would likely be charged with. He is the one that changed a key statement in a document supporting a FISA warrant to spy on Carter Page. Durham now knows everything that Clinesmith knows.

Tom Fitton predicted this last night on Twitter. He said it wouldn’t be an Obama Admin member.

They just threw a bone to the “deplorables”...

I doubt the MEDIA conglomerate will even mention this story this evening...

Not according to his attorney. It was just a mistake, no intent to mislead.

I’m sitting in a hospital lobby right now, forced to watch CNN. Your description is pretty much what they said. I hadn’t watched CNN in ages, so I forgot how disconnected from reality they are.

This actually has far-reaching ramifications that go beyond the political angle.

For one thing, it opens the DOJ/FBI to a whole boatload of civil lawsuits from the victims of this malfeasance. An explicit admission of guilt will remove any indemnification for the agency and the individuals involved.

Did the hospital run out of ipecac syrup and had to find an alternate way to make you barf?

Wow! We have a token charge. Time to wrap up everything, it’s over! We found the one low level person who is completely responsible for everything. Ok, now we can have the weekend off. Wrapped this up before the election. Good job everyone! Back to our day job.
