@jonathanchait When leftists info launder garbage through the IC, FBI and DOJ and then use circular reporting and citations to derail a POTUS candidate & then a sitting POTUS, there needs to be severe consequences. This should never be allowed to happen again.

In its pursuit of establishing #Surveillance on the Trump campaign, the #FBI turned its attention to @CarterWPage in the spring of 2016, culminating in the issuance of a #FISA warrant—which allows for some of the most intrusive #Spying methods on an US citizen.
As part of this process, the #FBI relied extensively on the flawed #SteeleDossier, leading an @FBI legal counsel to note that this was “essentially a single source FISA.”

🙄Oh the pearl-clutching GOP! @SenMikeLee is just “horrified” at @Comey and FBI “waging a political war” on Trump who they “hate so much.” Reality: Comey’s FBI protected Trump to a fault and helped get him elected. But Senator Lee’s hypocrisy goes even further… #IGReport
@SenMikeLee @Comey @JudiciaryDems @senjudiciary @LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorDurbin @SenatorLeahy Senator Lee's hypocrisy is stunning: "Your lack of evidence is not evidence that there was NO bias." This is the same @SenMikeLee who in April falsely claimed Mueller's INSUFFICIENT evidence of conspiracy was somehow "NOT EVEN A SCINTILLA." 😬#IGReport https://t.co/jbKWJZqW2X
@SenMikeLee @Comey @JudiciaryDems @senjudiciary @LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorDurbin @SenatorLeahy Republicans twist into knots that "NO evidence" can mean some evidence.

All distract w/ bias, when #IGReport's finding isn't about NO bias, but ZERO evidence bias biased Russia investigation!

Although many media organizations are trying to focus on the IG’s finding that the @FBI was within its rights in opening the initial counterintelligence investigation, it should be noted that this was not the focus of the IG’s investigation.
🚨‼️OMFG Barr’s on a propaganda blitz to discredit the #IGReport! He just said “there was no evidence of collusion,” presidential campaigns “often” have foreign contacts AND money 🤯 , FBI spied, Russia investigation launched on “very flimsy” evidence & in “bad faith” ‼️ @msnbc
⚠️🚨Trump propagandist Bill Barr: “Our nation was turned on its head for 3 years … hyped by an irresponsible press… FBI abused its power… I’m not involved in Ukraine. I don’t know if Ukraine interferes in the 2016 election.” This is a very dangerous man.
😳Just jaw-dropping! US attorney general Barr publicly discrediting the #IGReport, talking about his preferred ongoing Durham investigation, spouting all the GOP pro-Trump conspiratorial propaganda talking points, even language—sham, no collusion, spying, dossier, bad-faith FBI🤯

“Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened,” #Durham said in a statement.
#Durham’s review recently evolved into a criminal inquiry. The #IGReport by DOJ Inspector General Horowitz, meanwhile, is limited to violations of @FBI and @TheJusticeDept policies.
The Report concludes that the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and related investigations of certain individuals were opened in 2016 for an authorized purpose and with adequate factual predication.

First, we are modifying our processes under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), both for initial applications and renewals, to enhance accuracy and completeness.

Moving forward, in the very rare instance when FBI Headquarters runs a sensitive investigation, we are requiring prior approval by the FBI Deputy Director and consultation with the Assistant Director in Charge or Special Agent in Charge of the affected field offices.
