John Durham's endgame: Don't expect criminal charges
By Mark D. Ferbrache, opinion contributor — 02/22/21 12:00 PM EST


It is becoming apparent that the prosecution of former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith may be the zenith of special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the roots of the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” investigation involving Russia and Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign. Recent reporting suggests no other senior FBI or Department of Justice (DOJ) officials will face criminal charges.

Clinesmith pleaded guilty to lying to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court and was sentenced on Jan. 29 by U.S. District Judge James Boasburg. As evidence of Clinesmith’s political bias as a possible motive, the government’s sentencing memo cited Clinesmith’s 2018 suspension for “sending improper political messages to other FBI employees,” including, “viva la resistance.”   

Boasburg, a FISA Court judge, sentenced Clinesmith to probation, community service and no fine. Exhibiting no indignation regarding the fraud perpetrated on his court, Boasburg accepted Clinesmith’s defense that he never intended to defraud the court (though he pleaded guilty to doing so).

Moral of the story:  If no one goes to jail, then this will be repeated again and again.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great, for the man who can build his greatness upon his country's ruin~  George Washington

Is this the same Judge Boasburg who has been shutting down pipelines, too? (James E.? Or a relative? https://www.forbes.com/sites/ericmack/2020/07/06/judge-orders-dakota-access-pipeline-shut-down-and-drained-of-oil/?sh=102be11a26de )

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
