Why Is Lindsey Graham So Giddy With The Guilty Plea Of Kevin Clinesmith?

Why are you so giddy, Lindsey? 

You know I know you know there are two other Horowitz IG Reports that have yet to see the light of day.

Actually, there is an entire slew of Horowitz IG Reports that have yet to see the light of day, being referred to DOJ, who then, deferred to the Districts, where, some of them have Grand Juries, but, hey, what do I know?

What about Michael Flynn?

He plead guilty, twice.

You do know Boo Boo Barr knows more than he is doing, right?

Hey, Lindesy,

How come Barb knows more about the Mueller investigation than you?

FBI lawyer charged with altering an email for Page FISA application clearly violated law, but consider what this is and is not. This does not change fact that DOJ IG found Russia investigation was properly opened 11 months BEFORE this conduct occurred. https://t.co/xQwRiu24Ro

How come Trey Gowdy is taking over for  Hannity?

Stinky Touch?

Mueller deputy Weissmann criticizes DOJ for bringing case against ex-FBI lawyer

Weissmann weighed in following reports Friday that Clinesmith intends to plead guilty to falsifying a document that was part of the FBI's justification for wiretapping former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page as part of the 2016 investigation into Russian election interference.

"Question for [U.S. Attorney General William Barr]: how are [former national security adviser Michael Flynn's] confessed lies to the FBI (repeated to the VP) not a crime, but Clinesmith changing an email (the full version of which he also sent to DOJ) is?" Weissmann tweeted, referencing the Justice Department's controversial move to withdraw its case against Flynn, who had already pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.

Weissmann later asserted that there were "two systems of justice at play."

"Questions judge should ask before accepting Clinesmith guilty plea: What precisely is the falsity of the statement that Clinesmith made? What investigation was it material to?" he tweeted.

Questions judge should ask before accepting Clinesmith guilty plea:
What precisely is the falsity of the statement that Clinesmith made?
What investigation was it material to?
He gave DOJ accurate information for the Page FISA?
How does the Barr materiality std for Flynn apply?

Question for Barr: how are Flynn’s confessed lies to the FBI (repeated to the VP) not a crime, but Clinesmith changing an email (the full version of which he also sent to DOJ) is?

The charge against Clinesmith marks the first criminal case arising from the probe led by U.S. Attorney John Durham. The Justice Department alleges that the former FBI attorney altered an email to say that Page was not a source for the CIA, even though Page had had a relationship with the agency.

Clinesmith’s lawyers on Friday said this was unintentional.

“Kevin deeply regrets having altered the email. It was never his intent to mislead the court or his colleagues as he believed the information he relayed was accurate. But Kevin understands what he did was wrong and accepts responsibility,” his lawyers told The Washington Post.

The DOJ's probe into Clinesmith came at Barr's behest after a report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz found “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in the FBI’s application to a court to obtain permission to monitor Page.
