The Washington Examiner has the story about Kevin Clinesmith only being given probation for fraudulently altering a CIA email used to support the FISA warrant against Carter Page.
SIMPLY INCREDIBLE !!!
Yet the judge -if you want to call him that – in the Michael Flynn case was trying to prosecute Flynn even after the DOJ moved to dismiss the charges.
Carte Page is falsely accused and the yet the Clinesmith is just given probation and 400 hours of community service.
And it was handed down by a judge, James Boasberg, that sits on the FISA court !!! Makes you wonder about the decisions he is making the FISA court doesn’t it?
From the article, the Judge stated in sentencing Clinesmith:
“Mr. Clinesmith lost his job, and his government service is what has given his life much of its meaning. “He was also earning $150,000 a year — and who knows where the earnings go now. He may be disbarred or suspended from the practice of law … and may never be able to work in the national security field again,” Boasberg said when explaining his decision. “These are substantial penalties… What is more, he went from being an obscure career government lawyer to standing in the eye of a media hurricane. He has been threatened, vilified, and abused on a nationwide scale.”
Well yeah he lost is job etc – HE BROKE THE LAW ! The DOJ recommended jail time. He didn’t just steal a box of paper clips from the supply cabinet.
Talk about worst example of two sets-of-rules.
