Durham prosecutor Scarpelli now knocking down Clinesmith's defense team's argument that he risks contracting COVID in prison by pointing out federal prison has safeguards in place for intaking inmates. But fails to point out that Clinesmith ALREADY HAD COVID and FULLY RECOVERED
Clinesmith's defense attorney Shur arguing his client shouldn't serve time or pay fine because his "career is in shambles" and can't support his family while he and his wife expecting first child in March. "Probation is the appropriate punishment here. Thank you, your honor."
NOW: Clinesmith delivering allocution
Clinesmith allocution broken up b/c technical difficulties in video feed. (these virtual hearings are ridiculous. defendants should be made to appear in court!)

Clinesmith in allocution confesses only to "taking an unnecessary shortcut." WTF?! he deliberately falsified evidence, went in & changed content of CIA email & inserted own words to change its meaning to avoid not only failing to renew FISA on Trump aide but correcting past FISAs

No remorse. None. These are not real people. They have no feelings.
