FBI Lawyer Doctored Email to Make Carter Page Appear as a Russian Agent Instead of a CIA Source
[PJ] On Wednesday, Inspector General Michael Horowitz spoke to the Senate Judiciary Committee about his report and the FBI's counterintelligence operation into the Trump campaign back in the last presidential election cycle. Senator Lindsey Graham confronted Horowitz and everyone else present with a shocking finding from Horowitz's report: the FBI lawyer supervising the FISA process, named Clinesmith, purposefully doctored an email to make former Trump adviser Carter Page appear as a Russian agent rather than as a CIA source, which he actually was.

"When you read this report," Graham said today, "is that a lawyer supervising the FISA process at the FBI, according to Mr. Horowitz, doctored an email from the CIA to the FBI and he's going to be referred for criminal prosecution."

"Why is that important?" Graham then asked rhetorically. "Carter Page, who has been on the receiving end of all this, the foundation to believe he was a foreign agent comes from a dossier that we will talk about in a minute. In that dossier provided by Christopher Steele -- and we will talk about him in a minute -- they claim that Page meets with three people known to be Russians, Russian agents, people associated with Russia."

Mr. Page still viewed as totally oblivious (unwitting) regarding his clandestine involvement in the Trump Campaign.

#1 Permissions would have to have been issued. Reasons and justifications given, etc. Perhaps former Director Brennan could shed some much needed light ?

#5 I wonder what Durham is getting from Kleinsmith and how far up the chain it goes? If ever a guy was facing the Epstein/Rich solution its this guy.

But where is he, physically? Still "in hiding"?
