I... hold out hope that it’s more damaging then they’re letting on...

I hope so too - for Joe diGenova's sake. That guy has been tooting how the report "is going to be worse than you can imagine", "devastating", etc, etc per a quick search of FR articles.

If the report does not measure up to that - diGenova's (and perhaps Hannity's as has been touting this as well) credibility will be shot.

I think the report qualifies.

Confirms that the FBI used Pages informing on and assisting the CIA with an investigation into a Russian spy as example of Page having illicit contacts with Russians.

Showed that the source for the Steele Dossier did not themselves consider the allegations as more than gossip, bar talk, and jests, and that the FBI reported to the FISA Court that the source appeared open and honest without disclosing that the open honesty was in completely debunking the Dossier.

Showed that the FBI itself considered that there was not enough evidence to make a FISA application without the Dossier.

Explained that while the evidence to open an investigation was meager, the bar is so low as to allow nearly any justification, and the IG identified both that the legal bar is unreasonably low, and that it lacks sufficient process and policy to limit, much less stop, abuse.

The IG pointed out explicitly that the report does not vindicate ANYONE involved in the travesty. The IG referred the ENTIRE chain for review for performance failures and disciplinary action.
