That so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations that was briefed to the highest levels within the FBI, and that FBI officials expected would eventually be subjected to close scrutiny, raised significant questions regarding the FBI chain of command’s management and supervision of the FISA process. FBI Headquarters established a chain of command for Crossfire Hurricane that included close supervision by senior CD managers, who then briefed FBI leadership throughout the investigation. Although we do not expect managers and supervisors to know every fact about an investigation, or senior officials to know all the details of cases about which they are briefed, in a sensitive, high-priority matter like this one, it is reasonable to expect that they will take the necessary steps to ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with the facts and circumstances supporting and potentially undermining a FISA application in order to provide effective oversight, consistent with their level of supervisory responsibility. We concluded that the information that was known to the managers, supervisors, and senior officials should have resulted in questions being raised regarding the reliability of the Steele reporting and the probable cause supporting the FISA applications, but did not. In our view, this was a failure of not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials, in the chain of command.
For these reasons, we recommend that the FBI review the performance of the employees who had responsibility for the preparation, Woods review, or approval of the FISA applications, as well as the managers and supervisors in the chain of command of the Carter Page investigation, including senior officials, and take any action deemed appropriate.
Go here to read all 476 pages. It is a damning indictment of FBI incompetence and much, much worse.
When Trump gets reelected, I hope we see a Saturday Night Massacre the likes of which makes Nixon’s look like a coquettish pillow fight.
On a more substantive note, the IG is advancing the old “we’re too incompetent to be corrupt” defense.
I believe this is also known as the “Clinton defense,” which is not to be confused with the “Clinton pass”
Sounds a lot like the machinations in Catholic Church finances. Corruption is everywhere. The good part is that it coming to the surface. The bad part is, do enough voters or Catholics care to do anything about it? Time for divine intervention?
