Spygate, once derided by media and political elites as a fringe conspiracy theory, is now fact thanks to a court filing that confirms an ex-FBI lawyer who disliked President Trump falsified evidence that was used to keep surveillance against Trump associates going.
U.S. Attorney John Durham filed the felony charge Friday against Kevin Clinesmith, and the ex-FBI assistant general counsel is expected to plead guilty soon and cooperate with the ongoing investigation of the Russia investigators.
That alone is significant, since Clinesmith was witness to other controversial moments in the failed Trump-Russia collusion probe, including an operation to spy on the future president during a counterintelligence briefing in summer 2016. . . .
The court filing notes that Clinesmith “willfully and knowingly” altered a document in June 2017 to falsely claim that Trump campaign adviser Carter Page — one of the main targets of the Russia collusion probe and identified in the court document as “Individual #1” — was not a source for the CIA, identified in the court documents as “Other Government Agency” or “OGA.” In reality, Page was a CIA asset.
The filing says Clinesmith’s misdeed caused the FBI to mislead the Justice Department and the FISA court when filing an application for the last of four surveillance warrants that targeted Page for over a year.
But Durham also reveals in the filing that the FBI Crossfire Hurricane team — led by since-fired Agent Peter Strzok — had already been told of Page’s relationship with the CIA all the way back in August 2016 and failed to tell the FISA court that essential information about Page before the three prior FISA warrants were approved.
Such a failure is known as a material omission because the FBI was claiming they believed Page was an agent of Russia when in fact he was an asset of the U.S. government helping to inform on Russian intelligence targets. In other words, had the FBI not omitted the truth, the judges would have known before they approved even the first FISA warrant that Page was a CIA-handled source, not a Russian stooge.
Here’s how Durham worded the account:
“On Aug 17, 2016, prior to the approval of FISA #1, the OGA (CIA) provided certain members of the Crossfire Hurricane team a memorandum indicating that Individual #1 (Page) had been approved as an operational contact for the OGA (CIA) from 2008 to 2013 and detailing information that Individual #1 (Page) had provided to the OGA (CIA) concerning Individual #1’s prior contacts with certain Russian intelligence officers. The first three FISA applications did not include Individual #1’s history or status with the OGA (CIA).” . . .
“It’s more than an oversight. Whether the omission was purposeful or not, it is a fraud on the court,” said Kevin Brock, the FBI’s former assistant director for intelligence and the man who created many of the procedures the bureau employs with confidential human sources in national security investigations.
“At the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious, I think it is clear that Durham is positioning a deeper dive into this issue of FISA application abuse,” Brock added. . . .
In one instance the day after Trump won, Clinesmith texted this anti-Trump, anti-Mike Pence screed: “The crazies won finally. This is the tea party on steroids. And the GOP is going to be lost, they have to deal with an incumbent in 4 years. We have to fight this again. Also Pence is stupid,” he wrote in a text quoted by the inspector general.
A lawyer for Clinesmith on Friday offered an apology for his client’s action ahead of his guilty plea, but suggested Clinesmith didn’t intend to mislead the court when he altered the CIA document.
Brock dismissed that argument.
“The fact that the bureau was advised even before the first application that Carter Page was a source of the CIA and chose not to include it for the first three applications undercuts that argument,” the retired FBI executive said. “It stretches credulity that Clinesmith would claim he believed he was providing accurate information. They already knew it was inaccurate.”
Editor’s Note: Brock isn’t alone. . .
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley (R-Iowa), whose work in Congress unraveled many of the abuses in the FBI Russia probe, noted that Clinesmith was also identified in FBI documents as being involved in an August 2016 episode in which the FBI inserted an agent into one of Trump’s first counterintelligence briefings to spy on the future president.
“Those who orchestrated, enabled and amplified the bogus Russia collusion saga must face a reckoning, and those who violated the law must face justice,” Grassley said. “Thanks to recent declassifications, we now know that the same FBI lawyer who doctored evidence to push for spying authority on Trump’s campaign was also intimately involved in plans to co-opt intel briefings to spy on Trump himself. Today, he is being held to account.”
Grassley urged Durham to keep pressing ahead “for the good of our nation.”
“His team must continue to provide transparency into this multi-year, multimillion-dollar debacle,” the veteran senator said.

This investigation must continue until all who committed treason against the U.S. By using CIA and FBI assets to take out a presidential candidate and office holder are held accountable.
From the select committee United States Senate
Senate bipartisan report found Trumps 2016 campaign eager to accept help from foreign power.
“Taken as a whole, Manafortes high level access and willingness to share information with individuals closely affiliated with the Russian intelligence service, particularly kilimnik and associates of Oleg Daripaska represented a grave counterintelligence threat.”
The GRU (Glavnoye Razvedyvatel’noye Upravleniye) is the main military foreign-intelligence service of Russia.
“While the GRU and wikileaks were releasing hacked documents, the Trump campaign sought to maximize the impact of those materials to aid Trumps electoral prospects”
Donald’s Trump campaign chairman was in regular contact with Russian intelligence officer. Providing him secret information including polling information.
Russia has a friend in Trump.
Honestly Hillary would have called them out. On so many things For example Putins poisoning of political opposition there is a really long list.
Trump is using Christians he is not a decent human being. Let’s pray
This is another answer to prayer! Millions of people, Christians and unbelievers, have known for years that corruption is anchored deep within our government. One party is much worse than the other and that same party continues a vicious downward spiral as evidenced by their recent stand, belief system and openly brazen policies. We have listened and watched as lies told were protected by layers of more lies and misdirection. The foothold is a demonic stronghold and Christians MUST CONTINUE to pray for every lie and deception to be made known.
Lest we fool ourselves, this will be a painful process for our nation. This will not be as simple as lies revealed & justice will follow. That is absolutely necessary but only a beginning portion of what must happen. Many who have bought into the lies will turn their party or believing devotion into unleashed anger against those exposing past and present criminal activities… and to those who agree with the long overdue revelations.
Christians must be prepared for the aftermath as readily and fervently as they have been praying for the truth to be revealed. This pain filled process will be both joyous and heartbreaking but we must see it as a new beginning for many. Remember what it was like when we realized that what we believed in (lies) for so long and then one day the “light” turned on.
We have the opportunity to help redirect someone or many who will be looking for something real. Looking for truth, integrity and honesty. There will be millions who will be let down by people they trusted…and need reassurance. It’s not going to be a time of “I told you so” but an opportunity of “I understand your disappointment
“with further opportunity of helping people to find the “The way, the truth and the life”…and how He can impact every aspect of our life – including government!!
We watch now as hell has unleashed itself and used people as pawns to do Satan’s work. As usual, it is nothing more than a distraction. The enemy has been laying the foundation for this assault for nearly 2 decades.
Do not be sidetracked. Continue to be faithful in prayer DAILY. Take back a nation that was Dedicated to God from it’s first day of establishment!!
Lord, please protect both Mr. Clinesmith and Mr. Durham. Please protect everyone involved in this whole process and may the Truth come out.
Dear Heavenly father thank you for the truth that is being revealed. I pray you continue to give wisdom so that everything that is in darkness comes to the light. Let the world see all of them for who they are. I go against any principality that is trying to keep our nation in bondage. Let their be light. Let us turn our hearts towards you. Bring revival to our nation. I pray for the elections let your will be done.
Those individuals should be held accountable to pay back the government for the extensive costs of this debacle
This has got to happen. We’ve got to get to the bottom of this. This is madness.
Lord, thank you for shining light into confusion and darkness. I pray that America returns to you; please continue to expose truth and overcome the confusion and chaos. Use every Christian to spread Your Word; let another great revival happen across America; Holy Spirit flow through our nation and this world. Amen
Lord thank You for the hard work done by those who are searching for truth, and finding it.
Strenghten them as they continue to work until the lies and evil done will be brought to light.
In Jesus’ Name. Amen
Lord, let that which is hidden in darkness be brought to the light, in Jesus’ name!
Lord, We thank you for Mr. Durham and all involved in seeking truth in these matters. As U.S. citizens who know you we pray for the salvation of each member of this team and for all government elected officials and permanent employees at every level of our federal, state, county and local government organizations. We ask for the salvation of each of these individuals. We ask for your Holy Spirit to guide them to your word and give them hunger and thirst for righteousness, and diligence and success in seeking and finding truth. If justice is brought to bear on any presently employed or serving or past persons let it be with swiftness and fairness and truth and may each recipient find their own way to your mercy and forgiveness and salvation while justice is served. We pray for the safety of Mr. Durham and his team, and for all seeking truth and justice in these matters. Let us as your people be humble and have a contrite heart, and pray, and seek your face and seek you first over mammon, and turn from our own wicked ways. Lord, you will forgive our sin. You will heal our land. Jesus, all you have to do is say the word and it will be done. “Is anything too difficult or too wonderful for the Lord?” Genesis 18:14a.
In Puerto Rico, many people support President Trump. The media misinform. What the people think is not what the media say. We are very grateful for all the help that the president has given us.

All those like Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Watters, Diane Feinstein, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Joe Biden, Ruth Bider-Ginsburg all those people that have drank of the power of the DC Establishment for so many years that resulted in current situation. They will all be graciously step down.
Father God please raise up men and women like Daniel to REPLACE above REPs and SENATORs and AGs who have been too long in power of the DC Establishment.
