Brennan admits 'there were mistakes made' in FISA applications

2019-12-19

[FOXNEWS] Former CIA Director John Brennan

...director of the CIA under the Obama administration. One of the deeper dwelling denizens of the Deep State, possibly even the guy who lit the match that launched the Russiagate coup attempt...
, an outspoken critic of President Trump, acknowledged Tuesday that "there were mistakes made" in the highly controversial Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) application process during the Russia investigation as reported by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz.

Appearing on MSNBC, Brennan was asked by host Chris Hayes about "abuses" uncovered by Horowitz, who claimed he found 17 significant errors in the renewed FISA applications into former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, while Horowitz was a member of the B.O. regime.

"Well clearly, there were mistakes made based on the inspector general's reports," Brennan responded. "And I know that a lot of people attribute it to either to incompetence or politicization. Well, I might just attribute it to, these were FBI agents who were doing their level best to try to prevent Russia interference in the election."

He continued, "They were probably overly aggressive, they didn't pay careful enough attention to some of the details, they may have ignored some aspects of the work that was uncovered. But I think the IG was very clear that politicization did not seem to creep into any aspect of their work either at the initiation of the investigation or throughout."

#4 Far worse than Watergate. A coup attempt, plain and simple.

Zero and all Zero's men and women involved in this coup need to be indicted for conspiracy.

#3 The real scandal will be that the illegal spying on Trump was "leaked" to the dem party.

#2 Ah so (or is it a$$hole). You were a part of the intelligence community jerk. You knew exactly what was going on all along as you helped engineer this coup. These were not just mistakes. Gitmo would be too good.

That's our story and we're sticking with the story.

The Russian "cover for action" falls apart under closer examination. The illegal surveillance of US citizens (Trump campaign) would have gone unnoticed and unreported had the Hildebeest won in 2016. The Deep State was counting on a Hildebeest victory. That my friends, was the "mistake."
