FBI Director Christopher Wray testified Wednesday that the actions taken by the bureau to obtain a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were “unacceptable” and “cannot be repeated.”

During his first congressional appearance following the release of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s FISA review last year, Wray vowed to reform the FISA system by implementing “specific procedures and safeguards.”

“The failures highlighted in the inspector general report are unacceptable, period. And they cannot be repeated,” Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee.

“I have already ordered more than 40 corrective actions to our FISA policies and procedures,” Wray continued, adding that he has “gone above and beyond” in outlining what “should be changed” and “can be changed” and can provide “accountability,” “rigor” and “discipline.”

Discipline - like prison time which is called for now?

Has as much of an effect as a “Strongly worded letter” from the UN.

“unacceptable” and “cannot be repeated.”

He’s talking about the getting caught part, right?

But is anyone going to jail? Is anyone going to see how deeply Barack was in all of this?

Crickets.

Yeah, dude, that’s not taking it quite far enough.

We’re talking about FISA, a nightmarish Star Chamber that features prominently in the Universe of Bad Ideas.

Reform? That’s it? What a deep state loser. How about get rid of these FISA courts and nix the FBI?

Oh yes, now that the GOP is in charge we are making damn sure there is no abuse. Meanwhile the rats get a Mulligan and get away with using IQ agencies to spy on an opposition candidate. FU Wray.

Oh gee, we screwed up and this can never happen again.

So let’s just move on and pretend it won’t. I mean, we did what we needed to do. No need for anyone to held to account or any charges to be filed due to a little thing like an attempted coup.

Sorry. (Not sorry)

Thanks, we’ll conduct an extensive review and send our agents to a “don’t violate your oath of office” seminars and I will smile my goofball happy face and do nothing. Have a nice day.

Wray should have been asked to tell the Committee about where each of the perps are now, what disciplinary action was given in each case, by name. The general answer, “most are no longer in the FBI” isn’t good enough.
