The report of the I.G.'s findings on the use of FISA in the FBI Crossfire Hurricane investigation is an outrage. As a 22 year FBI Agent, I have personally conducted multiple investigations using both Title III "wiretaps" and FISA authorized intercepts. From this perspective, I can only see two possible interpretations of the actions of the FBI and DOJ. Either scenario should anger and frighten every fair minded citizen who takes the time to read the report and understand its implications. To comprehend the magnitude of the wrongdoing, consider the following

FTA: ''Based on what we are told by the I.G., there are only two possible conclusions that can be reached regarding the official conduct of those responsible for infringing on Carter Pages Constitutional freedoms:
''The first is that the hand selected team of investigators, attorneys, and Senior Executive Service officials with decades of law enforcement, administrative, and judicial experience were abject failures at a task that they were hired to perform.''
''The second possibility is that nearly everyone who significantly participated in obtaining FISA coverage on Page knowingly and deliberately operated outside the law to one degree or another. Viewed collectively, the apparent intentionality is nearly impossible to reconcile as anything but corruption.''
Myself, I'll take door number 2. Order up a semi-full of orange jumpsuits for these criminals.

We should be more angered and more frightened that Democrats and Federal Bureaucrats believe it
is acceptable to use GESTAPO-esque tactics against political rivals and common citizens in order to
stay in power. Democrats believe staying in power is the ONLY justification they need to set fire to
the Constitution.

When you remember how Obola won his state senate seat, who didn't know it would be downhill from there. He should be in jail. I remember thinking when he brought in his 42 (?) czars how he found so many like minded people. And also when you looked at his administration. Evidently those kind find each other.

We're way ahead of this. The top layers of the FBI have been corrupted and Lord Obola either knew everything that was going on or he ordered it. There was cooperation from Clapper and Brennan and the FISA court in a coup attempt. Heads need to roll. Soon.

AG Barr, Durham, and members of Congress. So what's it going to be? Those responsible for the spying operation on the President will be held to account? Or not? America would like to know if it has a future as a civil society or not. Just kind of wondering if we still have/will have Rule of Law.

The bottom line here is that Obama should be in jail, and boy! did we dodge a bullet when Trump beat Clinton. It's obvious what the Dems want-by any means possible to destroy our country and to place us in Bondage & servitude to THEM. It's time for them to be removed , not only from power in the gvt., but also from the media and academia. History provides an unending stream of examples showing us what a screaming failure socialism always is. It's time to finally listen to history and act upon it.

A great explanation of the historically corrupt “Chicago Way” of politics that with a “wink and a nod” gave Brennan of the CIA and Comey of the FBI the go ahead to initiate what became Operation Crossfire-Hurricane that violated the Constitutional rights of Americans for partisan Democrat political purposes. That is clear because politically appointed super bureaucrats like Brennan and Comey absolutely know that the first rule of being a successful DC super bureaucrat is to cover their individual butts first and foremost, by not taking any actions that have the possibility of backfiring and embarrassing their political “rabbis” and leaving them open to administrative and criminal proceedings, especially like conducting fraudulent investigations including “spying” on a presidential candidate, a President-Elect, incoming President, and his Republican presidential campaign. Bottom line, it’s common sense that would not have happened without such a “wink and a nod” from the highest level of the Obama White House.

I have only one problem with the article. He says, "Either your nations premiere law enforcement agency was breathtakingly incompetent when the stakes were the highest, or select officials in that organization made deliberate decisions to break the law,..." I choose option three, our nation's premiere law enforcement agency was breathtakingly incompetent AND officials in that organization made deliberate decisions to break the law.

It all started with obama, the most incompetent, corrupt president in the entire history of the United States.

This is why many of us are demanding formal investigations with published, non-censored findings.
If the litany of participants are found merely "abject failures and incompetents", they should ALL be fired immediately and every case they've touched in the past five years meticulously scrutinized for additional errors.
If, on the other hand, they are NOT found to be "abject failures and incompetents", there is NO valid reason they should not be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
There simply cannot be a separate set of prosecution standards for the public and for federal law enforcement personnel; with maybe with the exception that federal law enforcement personnel should be held to a much higher standard and punished more severely than Joe Q. Public.
We should also be hearing from our federally elected officials on this issue. The silence is deafening. Democrats in the house and senate are beating the drum nonstop and with the exception of a very few, the republicans remain quiet. A battle is being fought in the news (even the local news) and it's been a very one-sided war.

You have the democrats (including the previous administration), the deep state and the left media all in on this coup. The good thing about all these people involved (thousands?) is that there were a lot of tells, i.e., Brennan spouting off, the stupid FBI agents with the email trails, the left media avoiding all the news breaking as this thing starting to unravel. Total incompetence by all. they will all be branded by this.

This article gives proof that people at the highest levels of the JD and FBI went out of their way to lie to the FISA court.
Those using the "Village Idiot" defense that they didn't know what was going on should be fired for being total incompetent.

Judging from the WORTHLESS recent IG report, our collective and righteous indignation over this abuse of Constiitutional rights will never be mollified with someone going to jail.

How do you plead
Guilty or not guilty or insane ?
Sorry, insane just means you get locked up with a LOT of other truly insane people.
So prison for a LONG time or the "mental" "hospital" for a long time.
We SANE LAW ABIDING citizens insist that you take your rightful place in society. Box 1 or box 2 , take your pick.

"simply not believable"
YES! The excuses are absurd. If they are that incompetent, the entire FBI needs to be purged. Of course, that is not the truth. So not only are the participants criminals but they are willing to throw the entire organization under the bus to avoid responsibility. Their "higher loyalty" is only to themselves.

It is not hard to imagine that the Russian intelligence services are laughing their butts off at the moment.

A former FBI special agent’s opinion on this article:
Speaking for myself--and you'll see where I'm coming from if you read the article--I came to the second alternative almost immediately after beginning to learn just a small bit about the Carter Page situation. Nothing added up. The result was that, outrageous as it might seem, I had to conclude that intentional corruption was really the only possible explanation for what occurred.

That Khrushchev had Beria shot did not change the malevolence and evil of the NKVD and KGB. It only let them know that he was in charge of the Evil Empire once known as the USSR. You tell us you carried the water of these criminals for 22 years. Apparently, you are proud of your career with the FBI. Its a star on your resume that earns you kudos and applause. Well, I’m here to tell you that you are just as bad and evil as those you now expose for you carried out their orders for 22 years. You were a foot soldier in their malevolent machinations and you, Mr.Watt, are as responsible as they. The FBI is no better than MS-13 in suits and ties, and in reality far, far worse. Let me ask you a question, Mr. Watt, do you really and truly believe these were the first and only criminal acts committed by the leadership pf the FBI and the DOJ. Do you believe this corruption began and ended with the coup against our President and the unlawful spying on his campaign? Do you really believe the FISA Court judges were blind to what was being done? You know and I know that your criminal organization has imprisoned and ruined tens of thousands of men and women for no other reason than they had offended the evil devils who infest the government. Lets put it all on the table, Mr. Watt, and tell the world just how completely corrupt the DOJ and FBI are. Sydney Powell had the guts to expose it all. If you do that then I’ll believe you. You could be an expert witness to testify how corrupt the FBI has become and that its reports and accusations should not be even admitted to evidence let alone believed by a jury or judge. It is the obligation of a Christian to forgive those who are truly repentant of their sins and evil acts, but first, you have to be truly repentant. YOu are not, Mr. Watt, no more repentant that the NAZI criminals at Nuremberg who defended themselves by declaring, “I was only obeying my superiors and what I did was legal under German law.”
