To understand just how shoddy the FBI’s work was in securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant targeting the Trump campaign, you only need to read an obscure attachment to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report.
Appendix 1 identifies the total violations by the FBI of the so-called Woods Procedures, the process by which the bureau verifies information and assures the FISA court its evidence is true.
The Appendix identifies a total of 51 Woods procedure violations from the FISA application the FBI submitted to the court authorizing surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page starting in October 2016.
A whopping nine of those violations fell into the category called: “Supporting document shows that the factual assertion is inaccurate.”
For those who don’t speak IG parlance, it means the FBI made nine false assertions to the FISA court. In short, what the bureau said was contradicted by the evidence in its official file.
To put that in perspective, former Trump aides Mike Flynn and George Papadopoulos were convicted of making single false statements to the bureau. One went to jail already, and the other awaits sentencing.
The FBI made nine false statements to the court.
And the appendix shows the FBI made another nine factual assertions that did not match the supporting evidence in the file. In another words, the bureau was misleading on nine other occasions.
The vast majority of remaining Woods violations — 33 in total — involved failing to provide any evidence in the Woods procedure backing up assertion in the FISA warrant application.
That’s serious too since the sole purpose of the Wood procedures is to ensure all evidence cited in a FISA application is documented as accurate and reliable so it can be trusted by the courts.
Shoddy???
How about we call it what it truly was: CRIMINAL and TREASONOUS.
Stop dancing around this crap. The swamp was in full ‘coup’ mode on this one, driven by 0bama and implemented by Brannan, Clapper, Comey and all their flying monkeys, in order to restore their Queen to the throne.
For none of these top tier miscreants to be tried and convicted for TREASON is to witness the death of America.

James Comey: “So”?
Just a preview of the upcoming 2020 sequel.
Gee, and I thought this would all now be fixed. As Hillary said, “What difference does it now make”? This experiment is now over.
Do you think the walking dead liberals in Alexandria, VA or Annapolis, MD even care to notice that a coup is ongoing? They certainly didn’t when I visited there last weekend. Clueless and without a care.
Absolutely correct

Maybe while Barr and Durham are at it they could check Roberts and other anti Trump judges communications with Obama Schiff Pelosi.....since we found so much corruption....just to be sure.
When he campaigned for Trump, the President won, and then Flynn was hired as National Security Advisor - he had to be destroyed.

Flynn Page...needs to sue every last person they can. Manafort, Stone, ....
Can probably walk free...fruit of the poisonous tree.
Does the report explain why it took so long for it to be published?
bkmk
If the FISA judges were not part of the coup, they would have held the FBI signatories in contempt of court. You or I would have been tossed in jail.
51 violations of Woods Procedures. Included amongst them were 9 where supporting documents show the assertions were false.
Of these 51 violations, how many favored Trump or the campaign? Surely, if the FBI were unbiased and not politically motivated, the benefits of their incompetence to the parties would be distributed randomly, right?
At best, Horowitz is blind as a bat. Most likely he is a Deep State operative who feeds the sound bits to media they use to “clear” all the guilty parties. That’s how we get criminals like Comey taking a victory lap, claiming to be exonerated.
That won’t stop any defense lawyers from filing suits that the criminally compromised organization FKA the FBI will have to defend. Heck, I’ll bet even jailhouse lawyers are busy as we speak.
Photoshop his face on a horse’s ass and make a animated GIF out of it.
The US government is the enemy of the American people. There is only one solution.
The one good side in that act of pure evil is that it will reduce trust in FedGov as a whole. Voters will want smaller government as a result of this massive abuse of power, and that will lead swing voters to go conservative. [Legal, living voters only; the dead and illegals will continue voting for democrats.]
Fire Christopher Wray and Hire Michael Flynn as FBI director after judge throws out his conviction
There is no oversight, no accountability, no management in gov’t. The IG report shows that there are no rules regarding surveillance on US citizens.
It is a free-for-all where nothing is questioned because nobody will be held responsible.....therefore, there is no responsibility to do things properly.
Entrenched management, mostly socialist, can do whatever it wants.
