Nope. Never will either. Total nonsense.

Totally minor stuff, not the bombshells they were looking for.

But, correction - a guilty plea has the same end result as a conviction. “…Kevin Clinesmith, who was accused of altering an email related to the surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. It ended in a guilty plea and a sentence of probation”

I just like how the guy behind a certain pro Russia think tank that publishes National Interest magazine still hasn't been prosecuted for being a Russian agent even though he regularly appears on Russian government TV with pro Putin messaging. I mean the guy literally admitted to taking money from the Russian oligarch that funded the spy Maria Butina and facilitated meetings between her and other Russian interlocutors and Republican Congressmen. She even wrote articles for National Interest.

Gonna be another swing and a miss. Notice it says the third person prosecuted and not third convicted, their build up cases have all failed.

This seems to be part of a larger hunt, started by the Trump admin, to discredit the Steele Dossier and discredit the accusations that Trump was in bed with the Russians.

The instances of him lying to the FBI included that when asked if he ever talked with a particular source, he said no. In reality, he had emailed with that source (not talked with). Misleading probably, but I don’t think that’s a strong case.

The other instance of lying was that he said he thought an anonymous source was a certain person, but he was wrong. Again, this is not lying because he didn’t say he knew for sure, but rather that he thought.

I don’t suspect there is a strong case here and it appears to be 100% political.
