[Theoria]

Sure. But, this fisa mess is more so a failure in our entire intelligence apparatus. 'We' relied on a foreign agent to provide our 'esteemed' federal law enforcement agencies intelligence linking several actors to russia and such. We then do not verify such intel, nor do we even have the talent in russia or our own intelligence assets that could quickly know such evidence instantly.

A similar event happened in the run up to the Iraq war. We relied on slim to nothing. Where it was pushed up and in the end, was a complete failure. Nobody was held accountable in the past. And only now, is there some outrage. Because, it affects a political party. Yet, losing our brothers and sisters to the deserts, brought us nothing in justice.

I’m not sure we relied on anything in either case. I think we made up information to support the path we were taking. And then passed it off as intelligence gathered.
