The Justice Department's chief watchdog issued an extraordinary warning Tuesday that the FBI is failing to follow its own rules when pursuing surveillance warrants in sensitive intelligence and terrorism cases, confirming that problems first exposed in the Russia collusion probe extend to other cases.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz wrote FBI Director Chris Wray in a management alert memo that a review of more than two dozen Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant cases found agents were not complying with the so-called Woods Procedures designed to protect American civil liberties during such probes.
Among the problems cited was a failure by agents to substantiate allegations submitted to courts, similar to the missteps the FBI made in failing to ensure allegations in the Steele dossier back in 2016 were verified before securing a FISA warrant targeting the Trump campaign and former adviser Carter Page.

The deep state is still operating unchecked.
What a surprise. I would have never guessed.
Bullshit. It wasn’t a failure to follow procedure. It wasn’t a misstep. It was a deliberate criminal act.
Well duh
X100
So if the FISA court judges are still not asking tough questions regarding these warrants, then they are just rubber stamping them...
No ****.
Color me shocked.

” similar to the missteps the FBI made in failing to ensure allegations in the Steele dossier back in 2016 were verified”
They didn’t “fail to verify”. They helped create it and propagate it for their coup attempt. It was a criminal act and this IG is helping them clean up.
Great so Obama’s FBI was rogue for quite some time.
Only citizens are arrested and sent to prison for failing to follow government procedure. Politicians and bureaucrats have a special exemption. The concept of equal justice under law disappeared decades ago
I used to listen to Hannity and he was always that the regular FBI were ok, just the leadership; however, I disagree. A regular FBI agent was true to the Constitution would have resigned since no one has been indicted, tried, and except in Washington DC or northen VA would be found guilty and doing serious time a max security prison.
Of Course they did, they couldn’t let it get out that Trump was specifically targeted now could they?
I’m shocked, shocked I tell ya.
A question not answered, Were any of the subjects convicted (coerced into guilty plea by this illegal evidence or found guilty by jury?
We already know it did and they are just ignoring it
These “FISA” judges are horse shit criminals.
Deserve floggings in village squares at the least.
Hangings are more appro.
Hillary started the coup and Imam Obama was the other end fraudulently obtaining the warrants. Every one else was a flunky or tool for their plot. Coups are sedition. Seditionists belong in prison.
