Interesting.

But of note, this review covered a number of FISA applications between October 2014 and September 2019. It was not focused specifically on the issues raised with the Carter Page applications, and condemned by the FISA Court. While it does admit to at least two material errors, it does not identify them for public view, as they are redacted.

(See page 9) https://www.justice.gov/nsd/page/file/1300701/download

Of further note is this very important qualification (Referring to the FISA Court itself):

(See page 6), Declaration of Dawn M. Browning... https://www.justice.gov/nsd/page/file/1300701/download

I don't like starting new threads so I'm piggy-backing off this one.

New report from IG Horowitz regarding the FBI and FISA.
"Audit of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Execution of Its Woods Procedures for Applications Filed with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Relating to U.S. Persons"

It's a lot of boring reading but basically the FBI is just not very thorough with this power and Horowitz recommends they clean things up. Nothing too exciting here.

 
You know the drill. If someone says something that doesn't line up with what Trumpists want to hear, that person must just hate Trump (or was stymied b shadow libs)

Do you ever turn that projector off?
 
Not sure what all the horn blowing is about here.
We already know that the FISA warrant with respect to investigating the alleged Trump conspiracy with Russia (in that situation focusing on Carter Page) was flawed.
To the extent that others ones sought over the past several years for were sound only brings attention to how flawed and baseless the allegation and investigation of the Trump/Russia conspiracy truly was.
 
Untrue
 
That might be a stretch. Sure the Page application was problematic, but the fact that so many others are may just show that the FBI sucks at this.
 
4 material errors, seriously. Wow you got em!!!

The initial Page FISA warrant was legit and passed muster. But yea let’s pretend there was nothing to see with Trump and his fools in constant contact with the RUSSIANS. My lord

I don't understand why people like yourself feel the need to overplay your hand. Was the FISA completely baseless, written by a kindergarten student, and made up completely of lies? No. Was it perfect though? Definitely not. I am not pretending anything. If you would like to challenge any of Michael Horowitz's findings I suppose you could contact his office.

I got who? Is it possible you accidentally replied to the wrong post? There were over a hundred errors, material and otherwise.

Did you read it? 209 mistakes 4 were material. That’s it, the FBI is far from perfect but your claims are not correct.
 
"Material and otherwise" is wildly deceptive when only 4 were material.

Other mistakes can mean typos.
Ahh gotcha. At least it’s not seventeen “significant” errors and omissions in only four FISA apps, but yeah. My point was only that in all these other FISAs it appears the FBI is merely sloppy.

It's a system designed to be exploitable to suit the government's wishes.

Oh let’s hear about your personal experience where you can speak about what or what doesn’t need to be done writing an affidavit.

Hahahahaha. Nope you got me there. I have never submitted documents to a court which were later scrutinized by an Inspector General who found at least seventeen errors and omissions. I guess since I don’t have that experience I can’t have an opinion on a GD political debate website.
 
There’s the thing the OIG sees things in pure black and white and has zero practical expertise, they are the ultimate Monday Morning Quarterback. In the middle of a massive investigation there are things going on at a fast pace and it is an investigation for a reason, trying to gather as much info to ascertain what crimes are or are not be committed.
