I usually try to avoid the political discussion here over the weekends, usually just posting about music and such. However, when you wake up Friday afternoon to Obamagate news......one must share:
NPR tweet thread
Just in: FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith plans to plead guilty to charges related to information-gathering involving the Trump campaign and Russia four years ago, according to his lawyer. It's the first criminal charges associated with how the Russian investigation was conducted.
Clinesmith had been identified in an earlier report by the Justice Department inspector general. He allegedly doctored an email to help get court approval for continued surveillance of onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Subsequent investigations validated the core findings of the Russia investigation: That Russia attacked the election in 2016. But they also revealed problems with some actions by the FBI and the Justice Department. More on the charge against Clinesmith:
Ex-FBI Lawyer To Plead Guilty In Case Linked To Alleged Abuse Of Surveillance Power
“Former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith has agreed to plead guilty to a single false statement charge,
marking the first criminal action in an investigation centered on how intelligence agencies gathered information involving the Trump campaign and Russia four years ago in the waning months of the Obama administration.”
“In the waning months of the Obama administration”
It was
June 7, 2018 when I first mentioned
Executive Order 12333 wondering why President Obama wanted to change how the nation’s intelligence agencies could spy on Americans.
Seriously......any of you free minded freethinkers care to speculate as to why President Obama would make such a change 72 hours shy of his Presidency ending?

A request is not the same as a subpoena!
What would happen if any of these witnesses destroyed their private cell phone in the same manner as Hillary Clinton?
Is there a Two-Tier Justice System??
Is it possible Robert Mueller wants the private cellphones so evidence can be implanted?
I’m surprised no one here hasn't asked why President Donald Trump hasn’t overturned Executive Order 12333???
Could it be our President will use this Executive Order to?????? |
