Excerpt:
The federal judge blocking President Trump’s bid to deport alleged Venezuelan gangsters once showed leniency to an FBI Russiagate lawyer who fudged evidence to surveil a Trump campaign official.
US District Judge James Boasberg gave former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith probation instead of jail time four years ago when the latter pleaded guilty to forging an email used as evidence to surveil 2016 Trump campaign official Carter Page.
“Courts all over the country rely on representations from the government and expect them to be correct,” Boasberg chided at the time.
