FBI Director Christopher Wray told the federal surveillance court in a letter Friday that he “deeply regrets” the bureau’s many errors in the process to obtain surveillance warrants on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
“The FBI has the utmost respect for this Court, and deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the OIG,” Wray wrote in a letter to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
A judge on the FISC ordered the FBI on Dec. 17 to respond by Friday with a roadmap on how the bureau plans to address the problems identified in a Justice Department inspector general’s (IG) report regarding applications for warrants to wiretap Page.

Outrageous. The FISA Courts are complicit in the coup. FISA is just as much Deep State as the Obama KGB-Gestapo that Wray leads. Get rid of the "intelligence community". FISA-NSA-CIA-DOJ-FBI-DIA-DHS-ATF-IRS-EPA. O-U-T.

Apologizing for the FISA court abuses and promising to 'never, never' be bad again is not enough. Fixing the institutional lapses will not 'make whole' those whose rights were violated nor will it restore public trust in the federal alphabet organizations. There must be full disclosure with criminal sanctions and personal monetary penalties. Repealing the laws which have given cover for spying on our own citizens while necessary will not prevent use of such technology in the future. But draconian punishments now might at least give pause tomorrow.

FTA: The training will include a test “to confirm that personnel understand the expectations and the materials,” as well as certification for FBI employees who have completed the training,,,
Well, okay then. As long as there is a test.

Christopher Wray is another Deep State member. He was requested by Rosenstein. I think it is time for him to be replaced. Hopefully, in Pres. Trump's second term, he will be gone.

Calling this an error is total lip service and if the Agents didn't know that unverified information is not probable cause they should be in another line of work like Wray.

The FBI, DOJ, CIA and FISA Courts have been found unworthy.

" applications for business records pursuant to 50U.S. C. § 1861 , et seq. , must, prior to submission to the Court, be reviewed for accuracy by the case agent and must be verified as true and correct under penalty of perjury"
OK then the penalty for perjury is a slap on the wrist. Is that about right?

Sure they do. We need the top three layers of the FBI and the participating FISA judges to go to jail and if we make any errors by throwing an occasional honest one in jail, we deeply regret the error. When you have a nest of roaches under your kitchen stove, they are ALL guilty.

Since he already deeply regrets it, was he also shocked and dismayed? Puzzled even? What about sadly grieved?

Nudge, nudge.
Wink, wink.
When the government asks the government
if the government can spy on a citizen,
what do you think the government is going to say?
Get rid of this whole anti-Constitutional system.

So, has somebody finally impressed on this man's brain that the public wants him GONE? Sick to death of all thse baloney excuses coming from him, not when we know he doesn't mean them. That agency has no honor or credibility left and he is wasting time with his dithering about cleaning things up. I really want him gone, and I am sorry Trump is dragging his feet about this.

President Trump has made statements that he has no confidence in Wray. He may wait for his re-election To dispose of him. I would do it today! 63 million plus would strongly support the decision.

I suggest we make him YUGELY regretful for upending this country with a completely false process that almost anyone not biased would question by FIRING him with prejudice.
Only a NEW FBI director with a MISSION to correct this and prevent it with legal penalties (new law) and a process that REQUIRES outside approval (perhaps presidential approval and responsibility and guilt) for certain actions. The next time the FBI and DOJ plan to dip their toes in the electoral process, they should KNOW that the chance of electrocution is VERY high.

How does one apologize for the acts of others?
Why isn't he firing all employees who were involved in the FISA deception, or at least flipping them to name their bosses who gave them orders to deceive the court?
Why isn't he naming names of the FISA court judges who participated their deception?
Watching Chief Justice John Roberts' actions, in this court that is his responsibility, is very revealing!

Procedural changes will not fix corruption, illegality, bias, greed, power hungry, and dishonesty, Mr. Wray. Every institution has it. The only way to fight it is for management to fire those responsible---but those in the DOJ and FBI are the ones corrupt, including Chris Wray, who was hired to cover it all up. Sure the FBI respects the FISA Court, as the court is nothing but a rubber stamp that does what the FBI wants. Trump is already impeached, nothing to hold him back, so please fire Wray. Then I respectfully request attention to Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham, who have accomplished nothing. We are told endlessly about their impeccable reputations, but I haven't SEEN anything. I hope we are not being Hubered again, but alas, it appears that is the case. Aside, I am totally unimpressed with DC's impeccable reputations, self awarded.

A bogus apology, as this current FBI Director who apologized was not even leading the FBI when the FISA abuse by the James Comey led FBI headquarters partisan group took place. So he has nothing to apologize for.

This is ridiculous. These idiots must really think we are dumb. "Training" will accomplish nothing. The problem is not that they didn't know the rules and laws, it is that they purposefully evaded them. They are corrupt, and no little classroom lectures are going to change that. Pathetic.
