CNN reports that an FBI attorney tampered with documents related to the
Carter Page application. How much does it matter?

this the tip of a scandalous iceberg? Or is it a signal that Inspector
General Michael Horowitz’s much-anticipated report on investigative irregularities in the Trump-Russia probe will be much ado about nothing
much?

A low-ranking FBI lawyer altered a document that was somehow related to
the Obama Justice Department’s application to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) for a national-security surveillance warrant.
The application, approved by the FISC in October 2016, targeted former
Trump campaign adviser Carter Page — an American citizen, former naval intelligence officer, and apparent FBI cooperating witness — as a
clandestine agent of Russia.

Apparently, the document tampering made at least one of the application’s factual assertions seem more damning than it actually was. The FBI
attorney, who has not been identified, is also said to have falsified an
email in an effort to provide back-up support for the fabricated claim.
The lawyer, who was reportedly pushed out of the bureau when the tampering incident came to light, was interviewed in Horowitz’s inquiry and is said
to be a subject of the related criminal investigation being conducted by Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham.

The news was broken on Thursday night by CNN. That in itself is
noteworthy. Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is a CNN contributor,
and former FBI General Counsel James Baker is a frequent CNN guest. The
IG’s probe has scrutinized the conduct of both.

CNN commentators also include other former federal law-enforcement
officials, who have ties to the bureau and to some of the former officials under scrutiny. CNN’s news story about the evidence tampering is sourced
to “several people briefed on the matter,” who were not identified. The IG report is scheduled to be released on Dec. 9, and witnesses have recently
been permitted to review a draft of it under tight restrictions.

The ‘premise’ of the investigation

CNN adds that some of the witnesses interviewed expect the IG’s report
will “find mistakes in the FBI’s handling of the FISA process, but that
those mistakes do not undermine the premise for the FBI’s investigation.”
The network describes that premise as the conclusion “that Russia
interfered in the 2016 election.”

No collusion - Special Counsel Robert Swan Mueller III, March 2019.

Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive liar in
denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown car
parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a Trump
truck.

Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the disaster
of the Obama presidency.

The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp.

Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the eight
years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood queer
liberal democrat donors.
