Judge Collier, who wrote the 99-page April 26, 2017 unsealed FISA Court Ruling listed below, is rightfully angry at the FBI's actions:

“When FBI personnel mislead NSD in the ways described above, they equally mislead the FISC.”

"The OIG Report describes in detail the preparation of the four applications for electronic surveillance of Mr. Page. It documents troubling instances in which FBI personnel provided information to NSD which was unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession."

"It also describes several instances in which FBI personnel withheld from NSD information in their possession which was detrimental to their case for believing that Mr. Page was acting as an agent of a foreign power."

"An attorney in the FBI's Office of General Counsel (OGC) engaged in conduct that apparently was intended to mislead the FBI agent who ultimately swore to the facts in that application about whether Mr. Page had been a source of another government agency."

"The Court ordered the government on December 5, 2019, to, among other things, provide certain information addressing those concerns."

"The frequency with which representations made by FBI personnel turned out to be unsupported or contradicted by information in their possession..."

"..., and with which they withheld information detrimental to their case, calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable."

"the Court ORDERS that the government shall, no later than January 10, 2020, inform the Court in a sworn written submission of what it has done, and plans to do..."

"..., to ensure that the statement of facts in each FBI application accurately and completely reflects information possessed by the FBI that is material to any issue presented by the application."

"the government shall, no later than December 20, 2019, complete a declassification review of the above-referenced order of December 5, 2019 [see earlier tweet], in anticipation of the FISC' s publishing that order."

This bit is particularly interesting in relation to the FISC's Dec. 5th order;

"In view of the information released to the public in the OIG Report, the Court expects that such review [of the FISC's Dec 5th order] will entail minimal if any redactions."

It should also be noted that Judge Rosemary Collyer (misspelled in original tweet) did two very material things:

1) Signed 1st Page application

2) Worked for months w/NSA Dir Rogers to address the material deficiencies and issues uncovered by Rogers.
