U.S. Attorney John Durham is seeking a prison sentence of up to six months for Kevin Clinesmith, the former FBI lawyer who pleaded guilty to altering an email from the CIA regarding former Trump campaign aide Carter Page’s past relationship with the spy agency.
Durham asked a federal judge in a court filing on Thursday to sentence Clinesmith to a jail term “between the middle and upper end” of what federal sentencing guidelines recommend for the crime of making false statements in writing.

Paltry sentence for a minor player. A real charge should have been obstruction of justice, among other crimes. Does this represent a plea bargain on the trail to getting the major criminals, or is it the final token prosecution as part of the Big Coverup...?

U.S. Attorney John Durham is doing such a bang-up job! He should get a promotion and a raise. Such a great public servant!

Six months for being part of a plot to overthrow the president. And then lucrative jobs. Even if he does get any jail time.
The traitor business is pretty sweet.

This is so limp fingered and pathetic that it should be embarrassing to Durham to offer this up after over 500 days.

This MAY be a sign that John Durham actually exists and is still alive -- but it's too soon to tell.

If this guy warrants 6 months, Comey and Brennan, 60 years.

So Durham nails a bottom feeder. Clinesmith gets all of six months in the joint. And the time will be spent in the equivalent of a hotel room. Yep. That sets the example for the rest of the Spygate gang.

Stone was looking at years - for supposedly lying to congress. This bureaucrat knowingly alters government docs and is looking at 6 months?

A sacrificial lamb to make it look like the DOJ is actually doing anything...which they aren't. Barr is either a deep-stater, the Dems have dirt on him or his family has been credibly threatened. Because so far, Barr and Durham are useless.

If Durham were a fireman, he would arrive to a building fully in flames, equipped with hoses and men, and walk over to the mailbox and pour his his 8 ounce water bottle on it.

In the third-world banana republic we are living in, one wonders what this guy will get for "taking the fall" or whatever it is called. It is beyond terrifying what is happening to our country. Evil is winning.

There seems to be a new standard for "Justice". Imagine how bad it will be after 4 years of Harris/Biden.

Forgive second post, but is there anyone out there who thinks this guy will not receive a government pension? What are they doing to this country? Rush just claimed "there is no news". Baloney, there is evidence of crime all over the internet - especially filming of voter hearings - RSB Network.com, but he does not mention it. He is still a Member of the Club.

Sorry, but people knew of the change, and did nothing. They let it go without correcting the error earlier which should make them complicate, and possibly personally liable civilly.
EVERYTHING after this event should be treated as fruit of the poisonous tree.

NO,NO,NO,NO not on your life. 6 months for doing what he did to Carter Page? "c'mon man" you know you got him right on the precipice of taking down this whole organization of traitors. I hope he understood his "Miranda Rights" when you questioned him or, did you not read him his "Miranda Rights"? for being such a crackerjack investigator you have only excelled in capturing this one trivial, haphazard fool who thought he was in the clear because he had the protection of hillary and bill clington. you're an ace investigator alright but it's not spelled a-c-e.

Only six months? I hope he can be sued in Civil court. And I hope you can sue his employers (the people, not necessarily the agency) for even more for failing to put the breaks on him. Punishment needs to fit the crime or it;s useless. They tried to ruin Carter Page, Carter Page should have a fair shot of ruining them.

The falsified information was not a "mistake." Are we to believe Clinesmith decided on his own to alter the information? That's not clear from the article.
Surely there's more to the story. I want to hear the rest of it. Where did he get the idea to mislead authorities?

"Durham seeks ...". How sweet. Is that like meekly asking? If it was Mueller he'd show up with a SWAT team and CNN cameras. There would be no "seeking" about it.
