FBI’s Wray tells FISA court Bureau ‘deeply regrets’ failures in Carter Page case
Liberty Unyielding ^ | 11 Jan 20 | Chuck Ross

FBI Director Christopher Wray told the federal surveillance court in a letter Friday that he “deeply regrets” the bureau’s many errors in the process to obtain surveillance warrants on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

“The FBI has the utmost respect for this Court, and deeply regrets the errors and omissions identified by the OIG,” Wray wrote in a letter to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).

A judge on the FISC ordered the FBI on Dec. 17 to respond by Friday with a roadmap on how the bureau plans to address the problems identified in a Justice Department inspector general’s (IG) report regarding applications for warrants to wiretap Page.

The IG report, released on Dec. 9, identified 17 errors and omissions that the FBI made in its Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications against Page. The report said FBI agents withheld information that undercut the bureau’s suspicion that Page worked as an agent of Russia while he served on the Trump team. Agents also failed to disclose information that raised questions about the credibility and motives of Christopher Steele, a former British spy Democrats hired to investigate President Donald Trump.

The FBI relied heavily on Steele’s infamous dossier in the Page FISA applications.

Wray, who took over the FBI more than a month after the fourth and final Page FISA had been approved, said that one remedy he plans to implement will be to use the Page FISA as a case study in training sessions that FBI personnel will be required to undergo.

“FBI personnel will be instructed on the errors and omissions that were made in the Carter Page FISA applications and associated processes,” Wray said.

The judges are in on it. There’s no other conclusion.

A fabrication is just an error. A lie is just an omission. Got it.

Devin Nunes told everyone about the FISA criminal activity almost two years ago. Wray and the court are part of the problem, not the solution. Pearl clutching at this point is laughable.

Durham/Barr better indict all these criminals.

This is not enough. Heads need to roll. Peoples lives were affected very negatively due to their fraud on this court. Somebody (Comey, Brennan etc.) must pay for this.

The number one failure they regret is getting caught.

Why do I get the impression that the Deep State desperately wants to keep the nifty setup with FISA?

I doubt it's to "protect the country", unless by country they mean the Deep State itself....

Worse yet, AG Barr has continued to sing the praises of Wray.

I don't have a good feeling about any justice {by justice, I mean fbi, doj perps going to jail} being meted out by Barr.

Yet another horrible person in charge of our federal police force. This is all you will get after the federal government destroys you life. A simple statement of regret.

Yes, after getting caught with their stinky hands in the cookie jar, their ‘regrets’ are nothing more than mushy pablum. Such hollow statements will never remake the FBI into its former self. Where are the heads of those that committed such atrocities?

Jail all of these stinkin’ psychopathhic, integrity-free criminals...all of them. Never ever say anything to the fbi...they are untrustworthy and apparently despise the Citizens of free America. They are not on your side.

OK! Now, who’s going to jail?

And who the hell is Wray's boss?

Who the hell is in charge of the Justice Department?

Ultimately President Trump is in charge of the DOJ.

Lying to the FBI is a felony.

The FBI altered the Form 302s of General Flynn's ambush interview.

The FBI lied.

The FBI lied to FISA court.

The FBI lied to Judge Emmet Sullivan's court.

The FBI lied to Congress.

The FBI lied to the President.

The FBI lied to the American people.

Where are their felony charges?

I surely hope, Carter Page sues the by-Jesus out of the FBI & DOJ including those responsible during Obama’s administration!

Regret is best accompanied by three hots and a cot.

Ultimately, the President is responsible for the entire Executive Branch.

But the person in charge of the DOJ, and the FBI's boss, is this guy. The one person in American who believes Epstein killed himself.

'Nothing' to indicate Epstein death was not a suicide: Attorney General William Barr

I think the best we can hope for is that Comey, McCabe, and some underlings may face some charges. Perhaps even Brennan.

But NEVER Hillary, Obama, Soros, or members of Congress who were in on the coup.

The FISA court let them lie. They’re all in on this.
