Former FBI Director James Comey initially portrayed last week’s damning report on the bureau’s probe of Russiagate as a vindication. This week, Comey admitted that Inspector General Michael Horowitz discovered “real sloppiness,” which is “concerning.”
That characterization does not begin to cover the problems described by Horowitz, which this week prompted a highly unusual public rebuke from the court that reviews secret warrant applications under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The FISA court called the FBI’s conduct “antithetical to the heightened duty of candor” that applies in such cases.
Comey may take comfort in the fact that Horowitz didn’t find political bias. The rest of us can hardly be reassured by the implication that the FBI is inept rather than corrupt.

Comey is an idiot
I recall hearing through the mom of an FBI agent years ago that they just fill out the paperwork, do the wiretap, then, and only if there is anything worth documenting, do they turn in the paperwork to get the necessary court approvals. Very believable though when 99.9% of requests are approved, do see why they might play fast-and-loose.
Real sloppiness=criminal activity.
Mark Levin: It's time for FISA court judges to face scrutiny Mar 1, 2018 - Youtube 10:20
Levin presented her with a legal filing about taking action on the fraud presented to her court. She responded with lies.
That interview was mind boggling. It showed just how talented of a liar he is.
Calling him an idiot is not the adjective I’d use. He’s a slimey liar. To think Horrendous people like him make decisions for our good country makes me sick.
The ACLU is “cool wit dat” they ain’t sayin’ sheet.
I have more respect for the actors in “The Americans,” than I have for these real dirty cops.
That show gave me hope that the FBI portrayed there, was a good example of what the real FBI guys were.
WRONG. The FBI is populated with spineless, corrupt people looking for power and money.
More like the Austin Powers jerks than the 007 people that I would like to think are our heroes.

FLYNN is getting screwed.
the FBI have so undermined the whole fisa process that now everyone ever convicted or investigated under fisa warrants can now sue- that is how much damage they did with this scam impeachment investigations-
Now, if a republican had doe this to the courts, against the last president, the left would be going absolutely mental- screaming, and demanding that everyone lose their bar associations that was involved in it- and people lose their jobs, and face massive investigations-
But because it was liberals trying to unseat a duly elected president, all they get is a freaking rebuke? A “Tsk Tsk that wasn’t nice”?
Once the FBI murdered a hundred or so US citizens outside Waco, I stopped believing there were moral boundaries they would respect.
“Mistakes were made”? NO- Criminal malicious investigations were conducted against a sitting president- these were NOT mistakes, they were deliberate acts of defiance against a duly elected president and against everyone that voted for him!
This was why, in my opion, Fisa was hesitant to come out and say there was terrible wrong doing.
This may mean that there are MANY CASES that involve FBI authenticity. If one is false, there may be others, and others, and others.....
This may be a real problem.
And it couldn’t happen to a better group.
"You cheated on this application, how many others have you cheated on?"
Collyer has an ethical duty to recuse herself from any more FISA requests.
