Thanks, grey-whiskers.
Here are my translations of this giant wad of lies. (See what a difference it can make when you write with a political bias? Let’s substitute my bias for the DS bias in the report and see how it reads.)
“at least 17 significant errors or omissions” = 17(!!!) or more crimes
“and many additional errors” = more crimes
“providing wrong or incomplete infor mation” = lying
“failing to flag important issues for discussion” = sweeping facts under the rug
“did not receive satisfactory explanations” = ... because there aren’t any satisfactory explanations, because there was no excuse for this, because the only logical explanation is that this was a criminal invasion of privacy with no legal basis
“did not know or recall” = lied because if they told the truth they would be incriminating themselves
“may have been an oversight” = was in no way an oversight, but saying it was sounds a lot better than saying that they were conspiring to bring down Trump and ensure Hitlery was elected
“did not recognize at t he time the relevance of t he information” = Hahahahahahaha! = FULLY RECOGNIZED the relevance of the information, but admitting so would have halted their criminal acts. Hahahahaha. Whoo boy! Tell me another whopper. I can hardly stand it.
“did not believe the missing information to be significant” = knew the missing information was crucial
“may have improperly substituted their own j udgments in place of the j udgment of OI, or in place of the court, to weigh t_he probative va lue of t he information” = didn’t give a damn about what was the right and legal thing to do. They substituted their own POLITICAL BIASES for judgment.
“a pretty solid basis” = a pretty flimsy basis, in fact, really no basis whatsoever
“I don’t think we are quite there yet, but given the sensitivity and urgency of this matter, I would like to get 01 involved as early as possible.” = HURRY UP, YOU FOOLS! If we don’t get on this RIGHT NOW, Trump could be elected and we are going to jail.
“did not accurately describe to 01” = Hmmm. This one has me stumped. Could either be that they lied to 01 OR that they are protecting 01 and trying to deflect any blame from 01. Based on my guesss that 01= 0vomit, I’d go with the latter.
“did not inform” = withheld important information
“a lapse in judgment” = bias against Trump
Lastly, Steele provided the name of a Russian national, who he said may have connections with a Russian energy company, and who Steele claimed may be acting as Carter Page's possible "handler" for Russian intelligence.
it doesn't get any clearer than that
Yes nobody admitted any wrongdoing nor wrote down anything (documentation) of wrongdoing.
That is really all an IG can do....go by testimony and documentation.
The truth is clear. They relied on the Steele Dossier 100% for the FISA warrant and nobody, at any level right up to the judge, gave a damn about the renewals....everything was rubber stamped.
Post 245
Amen.....spot-on
Take those quoted phrases and run the word search.
It is shocking.
That is all.
““did not accurately describe to 01” = Hmmm. This one has me stumped. Could either be that they lied to 01 OR that they are protecting 01 and trying to deflect any blame from 01. Based on my guesss that 01= 0vomit, I’d go with the latter.”
I think that you are talking about references to OI, not O1. That is referring to the Department of Justice Office of Intelligence(https://www.justice.gov/nsd/office-intelligence). The FBI could not even submit the application for the FISA warrant without getting approval from them, because the OI has oversight over all the FBI FISA activities.
I expect ZERO indictments from this.
Now we can all wait for Durham, I guess. Tick-tock.
