"An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser."
cnn.com/2019/11/21/pol…
This CNN article, while heavily biased, should be seen for what it is.

A semi-panicked and failed attempt to shape a narrative in front of the pending IG Report.

Note the authors are Katelyn Polantz and (of course) Evan Perez.
All you need is the opening sentence:

"An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser."

The MSM will never be the same after this - and they know it.

They chose their hill. Poorly so.

You had a central role in the Clinton email server and Russia hacking investigations.

Per Lisa Page, you - along w/Richard Scott - required "intent" as part of a gross negligence charge in regards to Clinton investigation.
Page cited you as the individual responsible for altering the FBI’s normal policy of interviews by insisting on being personally present for the interviews of “not just Mrs. Clinton but also Huma Abedin, Cheryl Mills, Jake Sullivan, and her sort of core team.”
You were part of the Assange negotiations w/Deripaska's lawyer, Adam Waldman.

You contacted Waldman immediately following his meeting with Bruce Ohr.

Hi Ben. The June 2018 IG Report characterizes Clinesmith somewhat differently than the "young lawyer" that you portray.
justice.gov/file/1071991/d…
Clinesmith worked on both the Hillary Clinton email investigation and the Russia investigation.

Clinesmith was assigned to the Clinton Midyear Exam investigation in early 2016.
And, more importantly, he held a crucial role in the Trump-Russia Investigation.

The Inspector General lists him as being "the primary FBI attorney assigned to that investigation beginning in early 2017."

Clinesmith, as I'm sure you know, was later placed on Mueller's SC Team.

Clinesmith confirmed:

Investigators for the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, uncovered errors and omissions in documents related to the wiretapping of a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page...
nytimes.com/2019/11/22/us/…
...including that a low-level lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, altered an email that officials used to prepare to seek court approval to renew the wiretap, the people said.
Mr. Horowitz referred his findings about Mr. Clinesmith to prosecutors for a potential criminal charge.

Horowitz Had It All In 2018 & Didn't Leak It
@drawandstrike
Ponder this. The DOJ Office of the Inspector General had...

1) evidence of altered 302 forms in the Flynn case

and

2) evidence of altered FISA documents related to the Carter Page warrant

since mid-2018 at the latest.

They never leaked it.

Ponder the implications of that.
Trump said Durham would be showing results of his investigation "shortly" after Horowitz's FISA report goes public.

Horowitz handed a mostly completed case full of evidence to Durham on the 302 forms & the FISA documents.

That's why Durham won't take all that long.
When Sidney Powell included the never-before seen text messages & emails between Strzok/Page on how Page was materially editing the Flynn interview 302, understand this:

That was not a LEAK.

Powell was GIVEN this evidence.

It was time to disclose it, & likely came from OIG.

NEW: An FBI official is under criminal investigation after allegedly altering a document related to 2016 surveillance of a Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page.

Color me skeptical.
by @kpolantz @evanperez cnn.com/2019/11/21/pol…
@kpolantz @evanperez "Horowitz turned over the allegedly altered document to Durham...[it's] at least one focus of Durham's criminal probe."

Given that this is part of the GOP-touted IG Report and Barr's Trump-ordered criminal inquiry of the Russia probe origins, I'm dubious.
@kpolantz @evanperez “He had to announce the investigations — he didn’t have to actually *do* them.” -Sondland

Trump’s core political goal: Pushing for the *PR and perception* of a criminal probe, whether it's true, or the investigation is even being done, is immaterial.
