“ I didn’t see it in the documents, but can I assume “the reporting” is the
Isikoff article? “
From the images “Over There”, it’s this:
“The FBI filed three renewal applications wuth the FISC, on January 12,
April 7, and June 29, 2017. In addition to repeating the seven significant
errors contained in the first FISA application and outlined above, we
identified 10 additional significant errors in the three renewal applications.” Horowitz’s IG report said.
The January 12, 2017 application signed by Comey was marked “Verified”,
representing to the FISA court that allegations from Steele’s dossier that
Page had met two sanctioned Russians in summer 2016 and had tried to
change the GOP platform to help Moscow had been substantiated. In fact,
they had not been verified. To the contrary, the FBI had intercepted Page
talking to an informant denying he had met the Russians or been involved
in the platform change, two facts the FBI hid from the court.
The fact that Comey was telling the head of intelligence that Steele’s
information was not sufficiently corroborated while telling the court Steele’s
information in the FISA application was verified raises grave concernes, according to the chief counsel for the Southeastern Legal Foundation.
“After a multiyear court battle lead by Southeastern Legal Foundation, this
memo proves what we already suspected — those at the highest levels of
our government misled and lied to the court to get permission to spy on the
Trump campaign, plain and simple.
