Attorney General William P. Barr issued the following statement:
"Nothing is more important than the credibility and integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice. That is why we must hold our investigators and prosecutors to the highest ethical and professional standards. The Inspector General’s investigation has provided critical transparency and accountability, and his work is a credit to the Department of Justice. I would like to thank the Inspector General and his team.
The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.
FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward.
No one is more dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications than Director Wray. I have full confidence in Director Wray and his team at the FBI, as well as the thousands of dedicated line agents who work tirelessly to protect our country. I thank the Director for the comprehensive set of proposed reforms he is announcing today, and I look forward to working with him to implement these and any other appropriate measures.
With respect to DOJ personnel discussed in the report, the Department will follow all appropriate processes and procedures, including as to any potential disciplinary action."
This implicates Obama.
WRONG!!!

Fk them in the ssA.
Nothing, not one damned thing will come of this and that demonstrates just how criminal the Justice Department has been and continues to be.
You guys are complete blowhards and several other descriptions come to mind but, they would get me zotted.
Go to Hell and Burn, you Devil Worshipin, Satanic Inspired, Kommunists...
Good stuff. Well done.
Arrest them, indict them and put them on trial (but NOT with Adam Schiff presiding).
It is absolutely stunning that it took all this political manpower and time to reveal what was so obviously known and reported that the fisa issue was phoney ‘AS’ they were doing it............Just as this phoney Impeachment has been known even before Trump in office.
It’s been a coup from the get go with many corrupt players throughout our branches of Government.
Stop acting like a child moron. Grow up and read it without emotion this time.
After hearing Trey Gowdy tear into the lefts lawyer today I'd love to see him prosecute and persecute that malfeasance.
Vendome may get excitable, but I understand.
I am not so excitable, and I am here to remind everyone: Unless some SERIOUS consequences emerge — e.g., criminal charges — then this will be the new normal. The next series of abuses will be far worse.
Really? That is disappointing to say the least....
The bargaining tables are flooding and overflowing with Attorneys and Political Clients running for help... like a sinking ship with passangers looking for a way of escape.
The disappointment I predicted has arrived.

I am really P.O.’d about all this ...
I am suppose to be proud of my givernment but, everyday they prove themselves to be unworthy of admiration but, well worth any manner in which I can excoriate them.
They have zero integrity and would never let them be the banker when playing Monopoly.
Get that?
A mere board game and I would not trust them.
They are the kind of people would insist in the loudest manner possible that two pair beats three of a kind until you relent....on this hand...
and then where would it stop?
Until you got bored and played only for the distraction ...
Sure, no problem..
GFY
You sound mighty brave from your keyboard
If you live in the Bay Area, feel free to let me know where we can meet so you can that to my face...
Then again, seems like you at least admit you are fatman so, maybe you can only be brave from the comfort of your bean bag chair ...

Notice, no FISA Judges are complaining.
The Coup has been approved as a method to disenfranchise the Voters in this Country.
