In a newly unredacted footnote from the @JusticeOIG #IGReport on #FISAabuse, the urgency behind the @FBI obtaining a #FISA warrant on Trump campaign adviser @CarterWPage becomes clear. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/declassificati…
In the #IGReport, #Horowitz detailed a last-minute flurry of activity that transpired ahead of the issuance of the @CarterWPage #FISA, including a possible intervention from then-Deputy @FBI Director McCabe, to push a seemingly reluctant #DOJ official, Stuart Evans, for approval.
“Footnote 276” was initially redacted in the #IGReport, but was declassified, among other footnotes, following a request from @SenRonJohnson and @ChuckGrassley.

In the declassified footnote, IG #Horowitz elaborated on the urgency behind #LisaPage’s communications with #McCabe:

2 top @FBI officials in spring 2016 informed AG #LorettaLynch of intelligence they received linking the #Russian gov to @CarterWPage months before an investigation into the Trump campaign was formally launched, according to the #IGReport.

Lynch told DOJ #IGHorowitz that in the spring of 2016, @FBI Director @Comey and Deputy Director #AndrewMcCabe pulled her aside and shared info about Page that Lynch believed they learned from a member of the intelligence community.
@FBI @Comey The timing of the encounter between #Lynch, @Comey, and #McCabe raises questions about what actions the agencies took in connection to the Trump campaign before formally opening a counterintelligence investigation—codenamed #CrossfireHurricane—on July 31, 2016.

“There is such a range of conduct here that is inexplicable… Our final recommendation was to refer the entire chain of command,” #IGHorowitz said. (Thread👇)

The newly released #IGReport noted the material failures of the @FBI—“not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command”—with regard to the #FISA warrant application on Trump campaign aide @CarterWPage.
#IGHorowitz’s findings were so significant that he recommended the @FBI’s “entire chain of command” outlined in his report to the #DOJ for “consideration of how to assess and address their performance failures.” justice.gov/storage/120919…

#TrishaAnderson–once No. 2 lawyer at @FBI’s Office of General Counsel–was involved in all significant events of the Trump campaign counterintelligence investigation.

She knew of the investigation before it officially opened, according to her testimony. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-test…
A transcript of #Anderson’s testimony, which was reviewed for this article, reveals that she read all of @FBI’s FD302 forms detailing information that the author of the #SteeleDossier, former British spy #ChristopherSteele, had provided to high ranking #DOJ official #BruceOhr.
Anderson says she personally signed off on the original application for a warrant to spy on former Trump campaign adviser #CarterPage without having read it.

@FBI relied heavily on the unverified information in the #SteeleDossier to obtain the #FISA warrant. #FISAGate

With #LorettaLynch testifying seems like a good time to remind everyone what internal reaction was to “tarmac meeting” @FBI was only concerned that it made them look bad and claimed it was all Lynch’s staff .
Moffa, Strzok and Preistap called #LorettaLynch removing herself from investigation an interesting development. Strzok claimed it had been under discussion since April and they agreed to let the controversy “swirl around them”
Someone from the @FBI sends out a mass email stating “first and foremost no one knows exactly what transpired on the tarmac and who told whom what” which is more like a command than a fact seeing as though there were agents there🙄
