Wray: FBI Agents Involved In FISA Debacle Have Been Referred To Bureau’s Disciplinary Office
2020-02-07
[DAILYCALLER] FBI Director Christopher Wray said Wednesday that the FBI agents involved in the surveillance of Carter Page who are still at the bureau have been referred to the FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility for possible disciplinary action.

During a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Wray noted that most of the FBI officials who oversaw Crossfire Hurricane, which involved surveillance of Page, have left the bureau and are no longer subject to disciplinary review. He said the FBI personnel who worked on that probe and who still have jobs at the FBI are mostly line-level agents.

"Those people have all been referred to our disciplinary arm," Wray testified, referring to the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

Republicans on the committee pressed Wray over the Justice Department inspector general (IG) report released Dec. 9, 2019, that found the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) in four applications to surveil Page.

#5  #2 Barr has one chance to prosecute or we are finished.

We're probably finished, then.

At least in the sense of resolving these matters via the traditional channels.

#4  If this is Wray's response to a serious criminal internal problem, he needs to go. The FBI agents in the FISA debacle need to be referred to a grand jury for indictment (if they haven't already) and on to the courts for a trial.
