The Obama Justice Department official appointed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to scrutinize the FBI’s FISA reforms determined the bureau’s reforms would be insufficient without a change in the FBI’s culture.
David Kris, a controversial pick for the job after his full-throated defenses of the FBI’s decision-making throughout the Trump-Russia investigation, said the changes FBI Director Christopher Wray proposed in the wake of DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s damning report on FISA abuse were insufficient and told the court its review “should not obscure the larger issues presented.”
“Standards and procedures, checklists and questionnaires, automated workflows, training modules, and after-the-fact audits are all important, but they cannot be allowed to substitute for a strong FBI culture of individual ownership and responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of FISA applications,” Kris said in a Wednesday filing. “Without that, even the best procedures will not suffice; indeed, expanded procedures dictating multiple layers of review and approval could backfire, creating a kind of moral hazard in which each layer believes, or assumes, that errors have or will be caught by the others. Organizational culture is paramount to real reform, and the inspector general's report suggests that the FBI's culture of accuracy has suffered.”

Well, James Comey is busy atm with his “book” tour, or they woulda picked him.
I don’t disagree with anything he said about changes still being needed at the FBI. However, his assignment is to evaluate and recommend improvements to FISC. It comes across as him shirking what he was charged to do: make FISC more accountable.
The way to do what he says needs to be done is to put a whole lot of people in prison for their crimes.
Wow, you must have to work in government for a long time to be able to produce wordy, but utterly useless crap like this. “Culture of individual ownership and responsibility”?! It is the culture that created individuals who think they “own” the government and think they are “responsible” for “stopping” someone they don’t like (because he threatens their self-serving bureaucratic hegemony), that is the problem.
Who is responsible for this choice????
they must think (like the DOJ and FIB)
that the American PEOPLE are stupid, stupid, stupid.
Who knew David also has a sense of humor?
scam......
Maybe the FBI should refocus on creating a climate of integrity, honesty, and honor to their profession.
How could people like Strzok, Lisa Page, Comey, his daughter, and the Democrats with Mueller on his witch hunt team, ever get placed anywhere within the FBI?
Find the answer to this question, and one will get closer to the root of criminal corruption in the FBI. It is obvious to the least trained eye from the outside public. Only the corrupt and criminal minds ignore it.

This is just like Fraud John Huber.
It’s Deep State to the rescue.
Sessions / Huber / Rosenstein
Do not expect anything to come out of Mordor that will benefit we the people.
When you have the bureaucrats policing the bureaucrats, nothing will happen for the good.
PDJT’s piece ‘s haven’t been any better...it is so frustrating to all of us...swamp gets deeper and no one removed nor punished...the football keeps getting pulled out from us...
I also think there is a shortage of whom PDJT can put in these positions, as there are so few trustworthy people. In fact, there may not be any.
I think the best way to inculcate that culture is prison time.
FISA court is more criminal than the those they allow spying on.
He is complicit in the coverup for failing to call it BREAKING THE LAW!
The shocking thing is even the swamp creature realizes just how badly they have screwed up.

The larger thing is this is all by Design.
Same with Sessions / John Huber.
Huber was to prevent a real Investigation. This guy keeps real reforms at bay, ensures punishment is toothless, and keeps the Power in the FBi and with the Bureaucrats.
.
Let’s start a “Who’s related and how?”
Sessions/Huber/Rosenstein/Durham/Atkinson/Barr
