Former FBI Attorney Kevin Clinesmith is expected to plead guilty to altering Carter Page evidence to support the FISA warrant used to spy on the Donald Trump campaign in 2016.
However, Clinesmith, in order to save himself, implicated others on Crossfire Hurricane.
38-year-old Clinesmith altered an email from CIA investigators used to request a FISA warrant and renewals on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Carter Page previously worked as a source for the CIA, however Clinesmith falsely said Page was “never” a CIA source.

-Bragged about being part of the “resistance.”

According to Durham’s charging document (and also in IG Horowitz’s report), “certain individuals” on the Crossfire Hurricane were told in an August 2016 memorandum that Page was a CIA asset — so who else knew?
Despite members of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane team knowing Carter Page was a CIA asset, that information was omitted from the first three FISA warrants on Page.
“Mr. Clinesmith had provided the unchanged C.I.A. email to Crossfire Hurricane agents and the Justice Department lawyer drafting the original [October 2016] wiretap application,” Techno Fog posted from the New York Times report.
So who else knew about the lies?
office about a deal. The question in both the 2016 defensive briefing + the altered CIA email is whether Clinesmith acted independently or at the direction of, or with approval of FBI leadership. Plea deals typically involve cooperation. READ pic.twitter.com/5ZzlAcXCHw

Clinesmith's guilty plea is the beginning of the end of the NeverTrump and Resistance delusion that there was no spying, no criminal leaking, and no fabrication of evidence in the service of overturning 2016's election results. https://t.co/DUjonvFrZu

"My god damned name is all over the legal documents investigating his staff."
Months later, he would fabricate information about Carter Page. https://t.co/hJynsJ5jhs
