One low-level FBI attorney pleaded guilty to illegality in Spygate, sentenced today to...

Unless you follow politics closely--and who outside of DC has that sort of time, eh?--you probably don't have any idea who Kevin Clinesmith is.  But his story is screaming proof of how lawless judges impose two, totally different, sets of laws on the rest of us:  A lax one for Dems, and a strict one for Republicans.

Clinesmith was an attorney with the FBI.  When corrupt head of the FBI (Comey) and his lackeys Andy McCabe, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page (among others) set out to spy on the Trump campaign, to prevent him from winning the 2016 election, one of their early moves was to wiretap a man named Carter Page, who was a foreign-policy advisor to candidate Trump.

Wait, can the FBI just tap the phones of any American citizen it wants to?

No, they're supposed to get the permission of a "court,"  called the FISA court.  They're supposed to submit an "application" to the court, that contains all relevant information justifying the wiretap.  But since the FBI bills itself as the nation's top law-enforcement agency, breaking the law themselves doesn't worry 'em a bit, cuz who could turn 'em in, eh?  So the rights-violating FBI simply...wait for it...lied on the FISA application.  The court approved it, and Carter Page's life was ruined.

Now, the FISA app contained an email saying Carter Page worked for the CIA.  The FBI knew that if the court saw this, it wouldn't allow the wiretap.  So Kevin Clinesmith was charged with altering the CIA email to remove that information.  Which he did.

The laughably misnamed "Justice Department" has supposedly been investigating how the FBI--which, for the newbie, is a subsidiary agency of the Justice Department--ended up spying on the Trump campaign.  That bullshit coverup declared that only one person in the FBI did a single thing wrong:  Clinesmith.  

Because of Kevin Clinesmith, millions of dollars and man hours were spent investigating an innocent man. Page’s life and reputation were ruined.  

Clinesmith pleaded guilty, which prevented prosecutors from asking him who ordered him to alter the email.  Now, you might think changing evidence--in effect lying to the FISA court to wiretap an American citizen not charged with spying--would be a fairly big deal, but the DOJ only asked for “several months” in prison.  And today an Obama-appointed judge--James Boasberg--handed down the sentence:

Judge Boasberg admitted that Clinesmith violated Page’s 4th Amendment rights, but stated that Clinesmith believed he was right in altering the email and wasn’t trying to harm Page or the Trump campaign. 

Right.

So the Obama-appointed judge sentenced Clinesmith to...a year of probation and a $100 fine.

Imagine some poor deplorable were to find the email exchange in which the Democraps negotiated a contract with Dominion to use the deliberately-rigged software of the vote-counting machines to steal the election, and posts it on the internet, and that results in every Democrap official in DC being...vaporized by the white-hot anger of a thousands suns.  Wonder if that person would get off with a year of probation and a $100 fine by saying "I believe I was right to put that file on the Net, and I wasn't trying to harm either Dominion or any Democrat."

Do ya think that'd work?  Hey, it worked for Clinesmith, right?  And of course the laughably lenient "sentence" was part of the deal, because if the judge had given Clinesmith the appropriate sentence, Clinesmith would have ratted out the higher-ups who ordered him to change the CIA email.

My guess is that Clinesmith agreed to plead guilty on the condition that he wouldn't get a meaningful sentence.  So the order from his bosses would never be discovered.  My guess is that they also arranged a cushy job for him, maybe even in the Xi-Dim regime, since they're all Obama re-treads and regard lying as a job requirement.
