An FBI lawyer since separated from the bureau faces a criminal investigation for altering a document relating to obtaining the Foreign Intelligence Service Act (FISA) Court warrant to surveil Donald Trump campaign aide Carter Page, CNN reports. The lawyer allegedly admitted making the change to investigators for Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who referred the matter to U.S. Attorney John Durham. The longtime federal prosecutor, tasked by Attorney General William Barr with looking into the origins of the Russia collusion probe, reportedly has launched a criminal investigation into the FBI lawyer.

I surely hope this isn't a bad sign. This is a former FBI guy and an underling. I hope knives are coming for the big cheeses, too.

Just a few questions to the guy. Did you do this on your own? Okay, say "good bye to your wife and kids".
Someone told you to? WHO?

His wife and kids will be well taken care of for the 30 days he may serve in Lewisburg practicing his putting. Then properly re-habbed, he will be hired by some "firm" in some capacity, even if his license is taken or suspended. I'd be surprised if he "knows anything".

What former FBI lawyer would have been trusted with this nefarious task? James A. Baker, who served as General Counsel to the FBI. He was working with Comey at the time. Was “reassigned” in December 2017 and later resigned from the FBI.

So, the Swamp is gonna try and pin this all on somebody who isn't even there anymore? If htey think the public will buy that bogus attempt to protect the Swamp, they have another thing coming. We want frog marching and handcuffs on the big players, not some little fishy lawyer.

This was not the work of an underling, but of someone who knew about and was involved in the plot against the President. Someone trusted by Comey:
“The alterations were significant enough to have shifted the document’s meaning and came up during a part of Horowitz’s FISA review where details were classified,” CNN reports. The question naturally arises as to whether the details gained classified status because officials sought to hide the deception or whether the details actually rated such a designation. The heavily redacted warrant application dropped jaws upon its release by referring to opposition research as “research,” claiming a “law firm” rather than the Clinton campaign hired the investigators, and seemingly labeling former MI6 spook Christopher Steele as a “U.S. person.” The notion that an FBI employee altered a report already criticized for deception further undermines the credibility of the probe.
Baker went on to Lawfare, founded by Comey’s pal Ben Wittes, not a lawyer, but a “journalist” who admitted that he was the first to share Comey’s memos with a reporter at the New York Times.

The former FBI lawyer is almost certainly either James Baker, or Lisa Page. If Lisa Page, it makes Benjamin Wittes tweet from a few weeks ago look even more like a threat, and witness intimidation. Tick tick tick.....

Lawyer is probably Lisa Page, Strzok’s lover. Which could make this a twofer:
A. She edited the FISA application to spy on Trump via Carter Page.
B. She edited Strzok’s interview report, the 302, on General Flynn to make It appear that Flynn lied to Strzok during the entrapment interview in January, 2017.
Question then is who did Page and Strzok, when they weren’t committing adultery on FBI time, tell about the edits?

How many "bombshells" must explode (allegedly!) before we don't recognize them as "bombshells"? I grow weary of the sensationalized news.
I owe a debt of gratitude to you all here at Lucianne.com. You filter out the "bombshells" and help me know what "news" is worth consuming.

If in fact the lawyer was Lisa Page, The star-crossed lovers are being sacrificed to the Cause. If she and Peter had bothered to study History, these Night of the Long Knives moments come to the most ardent supporters who are always expendable.

So, is this the designated "take one for the team" person? The rest of the swamp creatures can then walk away.

CNN desperate to get this out in advance so they can say "That's old news, we reported on that long ago. Just dredging up old, boring stuff."
Criminal acts never get old or boring until they reach the statute of limitations, which I hope is years out still.

What does it matter? The entire case was made up, the FBI wrote a false FISA application, the crooked judges approved an illegal document, the FBI, CIA and probably the NSA were illegally monitoring an innocent American. He could have put a Mickey Mouse signature or U. K. Lele on the bottom and it wouldn't change a thing. This matter will end with the lowest level personnel involved taking the fall for the entire coup attempt, just like the Mafia would work it.

It is a FELONY to have even leaked this information, but the Clown News Network is working hard to ensure they can tip-off the plotters, it seems.

Neither, #7.
This needs to percolate up to nail Comey and McCabe.

It appears that the President has outed the lawyer. Kevin Clinesmith.
