‘It's Only One Side's Perspective': Carter Page Slams FISA Report As 'Sloppy'
2019-11-24
[WashingtonExaminer] I reiterate: in case you were wondering if the fix was in.
It was all just a big mistake, an unfortunate oversight.
Let’s wait and see what the report contains when it is released.

#5  Why is it so important to establish "political bias"? If the process was abused, then a crime was committed. The motivation is secondary to the act itself.

In the case of Hillary Clinton and her home brew email server, James Comey would disagree with you.

#4  You're beginning to grasp true believer's mindset, Lex. Intention is everything. Results are nothing.

This is the surreal nature of the Shitshow: Trump is presumed to have corrupt and nefarious motivations, even though he hasn't committed any crimes. His enemies across the DS, the Dems and the media are breaking all sorts of laws-- and we're told this doesn't matter because their motives are supposedly untainted.

#2  I could be wrong (again), but I'm still not convinced Page wasn't a witting conspirator.

Results in Brief

We found that the FBI’s vetting process for CHSs, known as validation, did not comply with the Attorney General Guidelines. We also found deficiencies in the FBI’s long-term CHS validation reports which are relied upon by FBI and DoJ officials in determining the continued use of a CHS. Further, the FBI inadequately staffed and trained personnel conducting long-term validations and lacked an automated process to monitor its long-term CHSs. The joint DoJ-FBI committee tasked with oversight of the FBI’s CHS program did not meet its composition requirements placing an undue burden on just a few members. The committee also had a backlog of CHSs awaiting continued use determinations, potentially allowing them to operate when they should not have. The FBI also missed an opportunity to identify its non-compliance with established CHS validation requirements because it did not follow its own directives for incorporating new procedures into policy. Further, we identified issues related to the FBI’s current validation process with characteristics the FBI considers significant and its lack of policy for communicating with CHSs. Lastly, a newly proposed system designed to align its CHS base with its highest priorities will rely on ingesting data from at least one FBI system with known data quality issues.
