Senate Intel Committee staffer James Wolfe gave the Carter Page FISA warrant to a NYT presstitute in exchange for a blowjob. He got a slap on the wrist. Some people thought at the time that he got just a wrist-slap because he flipped on SSCI Ranking Member Mark Warner, who with Richard Burr's full knowledge, had actively assisted the attempted coup. History now shows that simply was never the case - the DOJ opted to sweep everything under the rug and let Wolfe off basically scot-free. And Mark Warner is now the chair of the Senate Intel Committee.
What we witnessed today with Clinesmith was the same thing. Slap on the wrist for a scapegoat while the big fish (Weissmann, Mueller, everyone at the FBI and DOJ) will get away scot-free.
I agree with you that it seems like a lot of people are getting away Scott free but at the same time, it’s not in normal for prosecutors to request lesser sentences for people who give up information in a bigger scheme.
We’ve seen this throughout history in a lot of cases. However, we are talking about the biggest case this country has every encountered.
It’s entirely too odd for all of these processes to even be happening while the DS is in the White House writing EO’s and Congress is going on like business as usual.
Why is the charade even necessary if they are controlling everything?

It doesn’t make sense.
