The secretive federal court that approved the surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page on Tuesday accused FBI agents of creating a misleading impression about their basis for requesting a warrant and ordered the bureau to overhaul its process.
In a blistering order, a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) accused the bureau of providing false information and withholding materials that would have undercut its four surveillance applications.
"The FBI's handling of the Carter Page applications, as portrayed in the OIG report, was antithetical to the heightened duty of candor described above," Rosemary Collyer, presiding judge with the FISC, wrote in the order released by the court.

A blistering letter. Oooooo...
The judge is shocked, shocked to find gambling, I mean corruption, here.
Still waiting to hear from the FBI’s rank and file “good guys”.
All that bit*h did was put on an act to fool the rubes into thinking she was doing something meaningful. It was a ruse to obfuscate her cowardly refusal to demand that Comey and his lackeys be indicted for their crime of misleading the FISA court, an act which was tantamount to perjury. Just another Deep State enemy of our country.
People better go to jail or one can say we are all serfs of the Federal Government.
You are right.
Too Late, the horse is out of the barn, the damage is done, and it was severe. A letter just doesn’t do it.
