Worse yet, Inspector General Michael Horowitz found many of the applications had erroneous information or unsubstantiated evidence — even though they were stamped verified and certified to a court.
The record of FISA compliance under Comey and current FBI Director Chris Wray’s leadership is so deficient that it “undermines the FBI’s ability to achieve its 'scrupulously accurate' standard for FISA applications,” Horowitz warned in an extraordinary memo made public Tuesday.
The FBI’s former chief of intelligence Kevin Brock, who served under prior Director Robert Mueller, said the new IG findings add to a body of evidence that Comey’s tenure at FBI was infected with a record of noncompliance.
The memo’s findings are “reflective of a careless and negligent culture that was allowed to grow under Comey’s leadership,” Brock told Just the News.
He said the FBI agents who pursued the erroneous FISA warrant against Trump adviser Carter Page were able to take advantage of a system already broken.
“When the IG discovers a pattern of FISA affidavits in national security cases where the allegations are not corroborated or substantiated, then it starts to explain why Comey’s team thought they could obtain a FISA warrant on Page without any real facts,” he said. “Nobody was checking.”
The last year has produced a long line of IG findings that have undercut Comey’s carefully manicured claims that his FBI lived by the rule of law on his watch from June 2013 to May 2017.

Hold on one second. Sean Hannity has assured us that 99.9% of the hard working agents are lovely people and are as honest as the day is long. He also said his mother was a secretary for a prison some time back and she definitely would agree is she were alive.
Comey was not the cause. He is nothing more than a symptom.
FDR created the FBI as a political enforcer tool. It never really changed away from that.
Someone in “authority” should arrest these non-complying seditionists. Until then, never talk to the fbi about anything.
Non-compliance? How about deliberate lies and perjury in support of an attempted coup.
This is a coverup.
Absolutely nobody should ever vote guilty on any charge where the FBI is involved. Widespread jury nullification is the fastest remedy.
No, that was Woodrow Wilson who set them in motion. And they were run for 5 decades by a prancing homo who’s main MO was illegal wiretapping, and blackmailing politicians.
