I'm on the Kevin Clinesmith hearing conference call. Sentencing for falsely editing a CIA email that confirmed Page was a CIA source in order to get a FISA renewal.
#Clinesmith I'm hoping @carterwpage gets to reveal a few things in his statement!

Judge Boasberg is hearing this case. I think Boasberg should be recused from the case is also the President Judge of the FISA Court who is forcing FBI to conduct reforms of their FISA Application process to prevent such false information being given to the FISA court.
Why would Carter Page pick McAdoo-Gordon to represent him?

Not that type of clown, but one that isn't taken seriously.

#Durham Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith pleads guilty 1 count false statements, but key exchange goes to intent. Judge Boasberg: Did you read + understand this document before you signed it. Clinesmith: I did your honor. Judge Boasberg: This document actually sets forth the...
fact that the government contend occured here. The act that you actually committed that you agree that what the government sets forth here is in fact true. Clinemsith: Yes, your honor. Judge Boasberg: And most specifically that on (garbled-date??) that you intentionally altered..
an email to add the language + "not a source" in regard to individual one (Carter Page) + you knew that (garbled) statement was not in fact true. (20 second pause) Judge Boasberg: I'm not sure whether you are confering with your client, I didn’t hear a response to that question.

Significant moment in #Clinesmith hearing.
Judge: Do you agree when you added Carter was "not a source" "you knew such a statement was not in fact true"?
Clinesmith: "At the time I BELIEVED THAT THE INFORMATION I WAS PROVIDING IN THE EMAIL WAS ACCURATE ..."

2. Clinesmith in full:
"At the time I BELIEVED THAT THE INFORMATION I WAS PROVIDING IN THE EMAIL WAS ACCURATE but I am agreeing that the information I inserted into the email was not originally there and that I inserted that information."
"At the time I BELIEVED THAT THE INFORMATION I WAS PROVIDING IN THE EMAIL WAS ACCURATE but I am agreeing that the information I inserted into the email was not originally there and that I inserted that information."
3. Upshot: It furthers the point that the the offense, and facts to which just Clinesmith agreed, are NOT about his knowingly and falsely saying Page was not a CIA source, and that Page was one.
Durham's case is oddly reduced down to Clinesmith altering the email document.

“There is such a range of conduct here that is inexplicable… Our final recommendation was to refer the entire chain of command,” #IGHorowitz said. (Thread👇)

The newly released #IGReport noted the material failures of the @FBI—“not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command”—with regard to the #FISA warrant application on Trump campaign aide @CarterWPage.
#IGHorowitz’s findings were so significant that he recommended the @FBI’s “entire chain of command” outlined in his report to the #DOJ for “consideration of how to assess and address their performance failures.” justice.gov/storage/120919…
