FBI Attorney 2 Kevin Clinesmith was the Primary Lawyer on the Trump/Russia Case; Here are a Few of His Texts

[Red State] Last weekend, we learned that the DOJ Inspector General’s investigators had discovered that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith had altered documents used to support two of the FBI’s applications to the FISA Court for the warrants to spy on Trump campaign foreign policy advisor Carter Page. IG Michael Horowitz has since referred Clinesmith for criminal prosecution and he resigned from the FBI in September.

For obvious reasons, the media minimized his importance and presented Clinesmith as a low-level FBI lawyer. The reality is that he was a member of the Hillary Clinton email investigation team (Midyear Exam). According to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’ June 2018 Report (on various actions by the FBI and DOJ in advance of the 2016 election) which can be viewed here, he played a far larger role in the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign (Crossfire Hurricane). The report states Clinesmith was the "the primary FBI attorney assigned to that investigation beginning in early 2017." He then joined Robert Mueller’s investigation team and was dismissed in February 2018 after his anti-Trump text messages had been revealed.

Below is an excerpt from the report. The IG was somewhat concerned about the bias of FBI Attorney 2, but apparently not enough to view it as a threat to the outcome of the investigation.

On page 416, the report shows text messages Clinesmith sent on October 28, 2016 to several FBI colleagues he "considered to be his friends." These were sent shortly after Comey announced the reopening of Midyear Exam. But perhaps more significantly, they occurred just after the FBI had submitted the first application to the FISA Court.

#2 Some choice quotes from our fearless, impartial Incorruptible:

his employer "[the FBI] was walking into a landmine in terms of injecting itself [into the 2016 election] at that late in the process."

Right after his candidate list the election, he moans:

“I am so stressed about what I could have done differently.”
Other FBI Attorney: "Don't stress. None of that mattered."

Then our Incorruptible throws all caution to the wind and gives away the game with blatantly partisan political chatter and a vow to "FIGHT THIS AGAIN":

" I just can't imagine the systematic disassembly of all the progress we made over the last eight years. ...We have to fight this again."

Then a very curious assertion that he and his chums at the FBI have the power to determine election outcomes:

"And it's just hard not to feel like the FBI caused some of this. It was razor thin in some states.
