No excuse.
IF FISA court was so easily duped, there is no reason why there should be a FISA court existing.
Very sternly written.
No more mischief going to occur now.
The American Public was fully aware in January 2017 that the Steele Dossier was bogus.
Why didn’t a FISA judge ask the FBI/DOJ about Steele Dossier in the subsequent reauhorizations?
January 2017? That would be 3 years ago next month. What specific action did these FISC judges take in those THREE years? They all need to appear before congress and explain themselves. Collyer and Peter Stroke buddy Contreras in particular.

FISA Court Order in Response to Inspector General Report
By Gordon Ahl Tuesday, December 17, 2019, 3:43 PM
In response to the Justice Department inspector general report on the Russia investigation, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has issued an order requiring the government to provide a sworn written statement by Jan. 10, 2020 on what the Justice Department has done and plans to do to ensure that statements of fact in each FISA application filing to the court are complete and accurate. The document is available here and below.
Is that your prediction?
...and nothing will happen, because the FISA court is as corrupt as the FBI.
So issue a bench warrant for all signatories to the applications.
If not. Shut up.
I’d probably put Erin Burnett in the “who else” slot.
I think they should rename the FBI headquarters building the Carter Page building so that every day they go to work they are reminded that corruption happens in the FBI also.
Sitting up here in the cheap seats,it seems to me, that judges, in general, have the least curiosity of any one group of individuals. Evidently, they never watch the news, read a newspaper or the consult the internet. For an educated bunch, they sure aren’t very interested in what’s going on around them.
They are already judges, the FISC assignments are added make work, although I'm sure the perks of FISC duty are likely considerable.
-- I'm thinking the FISC judges are also ideologically corrupt SJW leftists like the heads of the FBI and CYA. --
That's a good presumption for any judge. All of them get their pay and "rainmaking" from the federal government, and none of them are going to advocate for making the government smaller. The built-in systematic bias and presumptions all run in favor of the government, except the functionally hollow presumption of innocence.
Any judge, when it comes to issuing a warrant, will give the warrant. Any issues? Not on the judge, it's on the person asking for the warrant.
This letter is a perfect example of that. Any trouble? Not our fault.
will be intersting to watch this play out.

Interesting. I defer to others on this matter.
Yup, Roberts has been compromised. I was shocked with his opinion on Obamacare. That bastard has cost us billions.
They were all democrats. Roberts broke the tie.
Why would you think the judge might pen a sternly worded letter?
Her handlers at the DNC and FBI have paid bigly to maintain an attack posture and will not have the judge interfering.
No it's not. She just ordered the FBI to show how it will prevent this in the future. This is a hoot, becuase the procedure in place, if followed, prevents this. No procedure is immune to being bypassed.
We're just going to get more BS promises. The government lies, it's the natrual action. The courts enable the liars.
The whole letter is BS pabulum to fool the reader. Close to ZERO accountability. This is the same pattern FISC uses when it finds wholesale snooping without cause. It moans, nothing more.
One player in the FBI is being targeted as the fall guy for the court. That is the lawyer who changed evidence. Nobody else in the FBI is being personally fingered as complicit. The issue is being dealt with as a sytemic issue, not a persnonal integrity issue.
All courts have inherent contempt power. They can also bar certain individuals from appearing before them. Not a blanket disbar, but might be good enough in this instance.
