CNN Bombshell: FBI Lawyer Altered FISA Court Warrant Application
|
| More on this story from yesterday. In yesterday’s comment thread, Unaitle Panda6599 shared a link that claims the former FBI lawyer in question is one Kevin Clinesmith. |
[SPECTATOR.ORG] An FBI lawyer since separated from the bureau faces a criminal investigation for altering a document relating to obtaining the Foreign Intelligence Service Act (FISA) Court warrant to surveil Donald Trump
 ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
campaign aide Carter Page, CNN reports.
The lawyer allegedly admitted making the change to Sherlocks for Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who referred the matter to U.S. Attorney John Durham. The longtime federal prosecutor, tasked by Attorney General William Barr with looking into the origins of the Russia collusion probe, reportedly has launched a criminal investigation into the FBI lawyer.
"The alterations were significant enough to have shifted the document’s meaning and came up during a part of Horowitz’s FISA review where details were classified," CNN reports. The question naturally arises as to whether the details gained classified status because officials sought to hide the deception or whether the details actually rated such a designation. The heavily redacted warrant application dropped jaws upon its release by referring to opposition research as "research," claiming a "law firm" rather than the Clinton campaign hired the Sherlocks, and seemingly labeling former MI6 spook Remington Christopher Steele as a "U.S. person." The notion that an FBI employee altered a report already criticized for deception further undermines the credibility of the probe.
