GOP Lawmakers Outraged Over Ex-FBI Lawyer's Sentence in Trump-Russia Probe

Image
Special Counsel John Durham  (Bob Child, File/AP) Several prominent Republican lawmakers strongly criticized a judge's sentence Friday that resulted in probation and no prison time for the only person charged in the Justice Department's investigation into the origins of alleged Trump-Russia collusion. Former FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith received a sentence of 12 months probation and 400 hours community service from U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg during a video hearing. Clinesmith pleaded guilty to altering an CIA email used to support a government wiretap of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Boasberg, who also is on the FISA court, denied special counsel John Durham's recommendation of up to six months in prison. The judge said Clinesmith had suffered the loss of a well-paying job and a career in government service.  Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., told  the Washington Examiner  that "once again, we see a two-tiered system of justice where average Ameri

(Getty) President Joe Biden on Thursday rescinded a regulation that barred U.S. foreign aid from being used to perform or promote abortions.

The move also included a restoration of American funding to the U.N. Population Fund and withdraws the U.S. from an international accord that promotes anti-abortion policies. The steps came just a week after he was inaugurated and fulfills a campaign pledge to reverse a policy that previous Republican presidents, including his immediate predecessor, Donald Trump, had instated immediately on taking office. The policy — known as the “Mexico City” rule, after the place where it was first announced at an international population conference, or the “global gag rule” — has been a political ping-pong ball, bouncing back and forth between Republican and Democratic presidents since it was first enacted in 1985 during Pr

They warned they'll take action if "cabinet officials, executive officers, and agencies" act beyond their authority.
