Here are some screenshots from relevant portions of the IG report about Clinesmith. There are more mundane ones I will share later. Mentioned 218 times. Please read them. For those asking, it starts on page 248 of the report and 287 of the PDF. https://www.justice.gov/storage/120919-examination.pdf

In regards to picture 1 in this tweet think about what he is saying- Clinesmith knew that the entire spying operation would blow up and fail if they couldn't maintain the FISA, so he continued to lie about it and alter evidence. The FBI also had this information.

Clinesmith knew, and he lied to the IG. Music to my ears, he says, of the OI Attorney saying his forged email about Page was satisfactory.

Clinesmith lied to the IG, probably because he talked to the OGC attorney, and got an earful.

"Oh, explicitly? That's just a word I throw around that doesn't really have any meaning....." And as an aside, referring to someone who is focused on accuracy in drafting "special FISA applications" as an EEYORE is a bit disgusting...

More interesting info from the Liason.

Much more to come- just wanted to begin the thread in case Twitter gets crazy

And this is the kicker here, in the second footnote. Other people knew, and didn't do anything, which is likely why the charge isn't a more serious one.
