Clinesmith was referred for potential prosecution by the Justice Department's inspector general's office, which conducted its own review of the Russia investigation. Specifically, the inspector general accused Clinesmith, though not by name, of altering an email about former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page to say that he was "not a source" for another government agency. Page has said he was a source for the CIA. The DOJ relied on that assertion as it submitted a third and final renewal application in 2017 to eavesdrop on Page under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Durham probe: Ex-FBI lawyer to plead guilty in first criminal case arising from review, sources say | Fox News
For those who haven't been paying attention, Carter Page was a source for the CIA prior to his being an advisor on the Trump campaign. Clinesmith falsified a document which said that Page was a CIA source to say that Page WAS NOT a CIA source. This is a huge deal because it shows deliberate attempt to commit fraud on the court.
Does anyone really believe that he did this on his own and was not acting on behalf of others? I don't.

What would motivate such a person to work solo? So no, I don't. I pray he spills his guts for the good of the republic.
Bill Barr is out to get those who dare to incriminate Trump.

He seems to be pretty low ranking to make such a change without covering his ass, so either he was acting alone stupidly, or he was assured by a supervisor that it was OK to do. I’d put him in the category of a cooperating witness.

Are you saying that Clinesmith didn't really do what he just plead guilty to doing?
That hasn’t happened yet. You have Fox claiming that it is going to happen. That’s all.
He won't. He's already plead guilty so there is no leverage to persuade him anymore.

So they got that ex-FBI lawyer we already knew about for over a year.
Um....congrats?

Didn’t you come out on the other end of this argument with Michael Flynn?
A year ago people like you were still bellowing at the top of their lungs that the Steel Dossier was largely verified and only a "peripheral" piece of evidence used to obtain the warrant.

Do you have Tourette's or something? Not once is the Steel Dossier mentioned in your article.
Falsifying information which is then used in a FISA application is pretty damned serious. It directly denies citizens their rights and it is ABSOLUTELY criminal. It is also INTENTIONALLY criminal and KNOWINGLY criminal.
So they got that ex-FBI lawyer we already knew about for over a year.

Neither was the idea that "you knew about Clinesmith for over a year".
