Trey Gowdy goes off on Kevin Clinesmith’s slap-on-the-wrist probation sentence: It’s not the FBI know



Former Republican Congressman Trey Gowdy decried the light sentence handed down to former FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith who will not be spending “a single day in prison” for falsifying a document.

Hosting “Fox News Primetime” on Monday, the former House Oversight Committee chairman called out the slap on the wrist for Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to altering an email in the Russia probe but was spared a prison sentence last week.

  4. Klinesmith should have his home address and phone numbers made public. He needs to live the rest of his life in fear of some vindictive wingnuts coming after him, if he stays in the United States. He needs to be shunned and shamed by his neighbors and coworkers. He needs to have his law license suspended and have to learn a different profession (like flipping burgers). He is not the type of person we want as a US citizen.
