U.S. District Judge James Boasberg of the D.C. District, appointed to the bench by then-President Barack Obama in 2011, has pushed back the sentencing for Kevin Clinesmith, Politico reporter Josh Gerstein posted to Twitter.
The Obama judge is postponing sentencing until after the inauguration. This way, if Biden gets in he can let the guy off with paying a small fine or something like that.
Is this the second delay? I know it was delayed from the original date.
I hope Carter Page gets to speak at this hearing......
What a (((surprise))).
6 mos is a "serious" consequence for lying to the FISA court and all that lie led to?
Edit to add: "Clinesmith admitted to altering a document that told the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court that Page ''was not'' an asset of the CIA, reportedly when he was, in fact, known to be acting as a CIA informant. If Page was not a source of the CIA, then his numerous contacts with Russian officials would appear to be suspicious and therefore justify the warrant.
The surveillance led to further spying on the Trump campaign.
Durham has asked Boasberg to sentence Clinesmith to six months in jail to "send a message that people like the defendant — an attorney in a position of trust who others relied upon — will face serious consequences if they commit crimes that result in material misstatements or omissions to a court.''
Agreed Anonymouse.
You spelled "fall guy" wrong.
They don’t execute the ball boys at the end of Wimbledon.
