The Justice Department watchdog found omissions in renewal applications the FBI submitted to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court seeking warrants to monitor onetime Trump campaign aide Carter Page.
A draft of Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report, due out next week, shows the FBI failed to convey to the court that not all of the information it used from British ex-spy Christopher Steele was entirely reliable, according to the Washington Post.
**SNIP**
FBI agents interviewed one of Steele's subsources and found that Steele's raw intelligence, in need of further verification, was not completely reliable. Horowitz's investigators found the FBI failed to convey this information in the later applications, but according to sources familiar with a draft of the report, the omissions were "apparently" not sufficient enough for the watchdog to conclude the applications should have been rejected.
Still, the Washington Post report states that it would be unusual for Horowitz to judge the FISA court's rulings on warrant applications. It also notes that it has not viewed the draft report, which may differ from the final version, due to be released on Dec. 9.

You don’t say?
lol...
Bruce wears black gowns in public, Nellie writes black lies for Fusion GPS.
The FISA judge is just mad that their whole operation has been uncovered and there’s a chance he could/should be implicated in the attempted coup.

The federal judge who recused himself from the Michael Flynn case is personal friends with Peter Strzok, the FBI agent who conducted the White House interview in which the former national security adviser has pleaded guilty to lying.
The friendship between Strzok and Rudolph Contreras, a judge on the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., is discussed in text messages the FBI agent exchanged with his mistress, Lisa Page.
You presume the Judge was not in on it.
This has all been a interesting exercise..?
NO ONE has been, will be, arrested... the best we can hope for is a handful of them lose their job..lose their pension...
Quite a few people would risk robbing a bank ..if there was no penalty.
Onward with the show!

Oh, and Roberts will preside at the Senate trial of PDJT.
Not sure where I picked this up from, but it is reported that Steele himself did not write the dossier, that its some American, he merely added his name To it to give it a superficial respectability. Nellie Ohr?
