#Durham A source close to the matter confirms @CBSNews that former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith is expected to plead guilty as part the investigation led by US Attorney John Durham into the origins of the FBI’s 2016 Russia probe. In December 2019, IG Horowitz found Clinesmith...
altered an official record (CIA email) that was used to continue surveillance in 2017 on former Trump campaign aide @carterwpage. CBS News has learned that after FBI records were declassified by @DNI_Ratcliffe last month showing Clinesmith was part of a team using a 2016...
briefing to track Russia questions from @GenFlynn + then candidate Trump, Clinesmith’s lawyer approached Durham’s office about a plea deal. Context: The question in both the 2016 defensive briefing, and the altered CIA email, is whether Clinesmith acted independently or at the...
direction of, or with the approval of his FBI leadership. Typically, plea deals have an expectation the individual cooperates.

#Durham Plea deal for former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith opens the door to his cooperation w/Durham probe. His decision to alter the CIA email meant the FISA court was never told about @carterwpage’s work to support CIA on Russia + it allowed the 2017 surveillance to continue...
Part of @carterwpage’s statement to @CBSNews “After several years, Kevin Clinesmith is finally being held accountable + pleading guilty to committing a felony for his involvement in the plot to falsely portray me + by implication the Trump Administration as traitors. Clinesmith,
his organization + their associates put my very life at risk, leading to abusive calls + death threats because of my personal opinions + support for President Trump. There is a long way to go on the road to restoring justice..but certainly a good first step has now been taken.

#FLYNN Most intriguing + perhaps most significant revelation from today’s oral arguments at Appeals Court. In line of questioning with Judge Merrick Garland, Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall revealed Attorney General Barr, who ultimately made the decision to drop the case
against GEN Flynn, may have more information than has been made publicly available. Wall claimed, that under the circumstances, they went further than they were obligated to, "And by the way Judge Garland, just to drive that point home, we, the AG, of course, sees this in a...
context of non-public information from other investigations..(cross talk Garland) Wall continued, “Yes, I just wanted to make clear that it may be possible that the Attorney General had before him information that he was not able to share with the court + so what we put in front
