I've since read a number of articles on this point. I come out where the court did, that this was an honest error. In house attorneys know a lot. When dealing with crazy workloads, you often answer a question consistent with your memory at the time. Best practices are to always double check with relevant stakeholder and documentation record. I believe the attorney skipped these best practices, and paid for it. I do not think it was intentional nor a conspiracy.

How exactly did Kevin Clinesmith "accidentally" insert the phrase "and not a source" into a CIA email on Page where no language should have been added? You have to talk yourself into believing that someone could accidentally alter evidentiary documents that are supposed to be included as unaltered sources. There's a reason that insurance policies for attorneys and consultants are called "Errors & Omissions" policies instead of "Errors & Additions."

Clineamith's excuse is less believable than the Walter White Breaking Bad "fugue state" ruse.
