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.

"The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession, and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable," Collyer wrote. "The FISC expects the government to provide complete and accurate information in every filing with the Court. Without it, the FISC cannot properly ensure that the government conducts electronic surveillance for foreign intelligence purposes only when there is a sufficient factual basis."

My money says the FISC court was in on the coup. Now they’re just feigning being indignant to cover their asses.
The judge finds it “troubling.” She ought to be breathing fire for God’s sake.
Oh my gosh.
He “blasted” them.
Wow.
THROW THEM IN PRISON!!!
These asshole Democrats need some prison time!
No prison time?
No justice.
No justice?
No need for lawyers or police.
I want to know if there are any innocent people in prison because the FBI made mistakes.
I would bet the FISA judges are cohorts of Zero and partisan hacks.
antithetical to the heightened duty of candor

Antithetical? How about deceptive, deliberately misleading, biased and probably illegal?
FISA Court is pretty disgusting.
Order seems to go out of its way to paint the NSD-DOJ as a mere victim of FBI dishonesty.
It looks like the game plan of the nomenklatura of our corrupt and vicious deep state is to try to isolate everything to the FBI and Clinesmith.
Perhaps, but they blasted the FBI in a report today.
With all of this why has Carter Page not been released with some heavy damages paid?
2 1/2 years too late.
Actually this is very significant... This order will be very useful for the prosecution of those responsible when charges are brought forth. Those involved with obtaining and using these phony warrants are shaking in their boots because eventually, the hammer of justice will fall on those responsible for this fiasco.
This judge is part of the cover up. Too little, too late. Check her for dimocrat donations.
The judge needs to use her power as a judge to hold them accountable.
Levin talked about her right out of the chute. She ignored a motion filed by Landmark Legal Foundation two and a half years ago that would have exposed this fraud.
Now she’s talking about it???
Only doing so because the IQ report exposed her inaction.
bttt
Where are the criminal charges? Like having a bank robber complaining about sloppy guards without being tried. Insane. What would happen if I did that?
It’s time to repeal FISA.
Second that.
The proof will be when the butthurt bureaucrat that instigated the fraud is promoted.
