MARK MEADOWS DROPS MULTIPLE BOMBSHELLS IN HEARING ABOUT
CLINTON, RUSSIA PROBES

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)
North Carolina Rep. Mark Meadows made two startling claims
in a House hearing on Tuesday, asserting that there is “growing evidence” that
FBI officials altered documentation of witness interviews in the Hillary
Clinton and Russia probes.
The Republican also revealed the name of an FBI
attorney he believes is the bureau employee who was removed from Special
Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation in February after he was found to
have sent anti-Trump text messages.
Meadows made the revelations in a round of questioning with
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz.
On Thursday, Horowitz’s office released a scathing report
that documented FBI officials’ mishandling of the Clinton investigation. It
also laid out a slew of text messages that FBI officials and attorneys sent
criticizing Donald Trump.
“I think the other thing that I would ask you to look into,
there is growing evidence that 302s were edited and changed,” Meadows
said. “Those 302s, it is suggested that they were changed to either
prosecute or not prosecute individuals. And that is very troubling.”
Meadows was referring to forms that FBI agents use to
summarize witness interviews. He told reporters after Tuesday’s hearing that
he has seen evidence that 302s filled out during the Clinton and Russia
investigations have been changed. He also said he has “more information” about
the alleged alterations. (RELATED: ‘Viva Le Resistance’: Mueller Team Attorney Sent
Anti-Trump Texts)
Horowitz appeared to acknowledge that he is aware of
allegations about edited 302s.
“If I could just mention, we have been getting those kind of
referrals and as often happens when we issue reports like this we get other
information coming to us, and we are intending to follow up on that,” Horowitz
said.
Meadows was not finished dropping bombshells.
He also threw out the name of the person he believes is
identified as “FBI Attorney 2” in the IG report released on Thursday. The
report cited text messages that the lawyer sent shortly before and after the
2016 election criticizing Trump.
“I am numb,” the attorney wrote on Election Day.
“Viva le resistance,” he wrote to another FBI attorney on
Nov. 22, 2016.
The lawyer worked on both the Clinton and Russia
investigations. On the latter, he served as the FBI’s top attorney on the
Russia probe as of 2017 and worked on Mueller’s team until February. He was
removed from that investigation after the discovery of his anti-Trump texts.
Horowitz said early on in Tuesday’s hearing that the lawyer
was not identified in the IG report at the request of the FBI. The bureau
claimed that the individual’s identity was sensitive because he worked on
counterintelligence matters. (RELATED: FBI Is Refusing To Name Anti-Trump Attorney)
“Is the other one Kevin Clinesmith?” Meadows asked in an
attempt to get Horowitz to identify FBI Attorney 2.
Horowitz did not take the bait.
Meadows also asked Horowitz whether an FBI lawyer named
Sally Moyer was also referenced in the IG report.
“They don’t work in counterintelligence. If that’s the
reason the FBI is giving, they’re giving you false information because they
work for the general counsel,” Meadows said.
Mueller’s office and the FBI have refused to identify FBI
Attorney 2.
