FBI’s Wray tells FISA court Bureau ‘deeply regrets’ failures in Carter Page case

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.

“Never ever say anything to the fbi..”

Before I would say nothing, I might make a statement like ... “Aren’t you the outfit that abused the FISA court? ... Sorry, can’t help you.”

I am surprised he didn’t offer to re-name the agency in his letter ... to take repair its image, similar to ...liberal is now progressive ... global warming is now climate change ... food stamps are now SNAP paid with a electronic bank card .... may I suggest Mr Wray ...FBI is now FUBAR.

It’s easy for me to say ... but all the “good agents” would be turning in their badges because of this. All the “good agents” would be blowing a Serpico whistle. Only then might you see Wray and Barr actually do something about it. Let me correct that, only then might one see Barr do something about that.

Wrey: “It’s not criminal when ‘we’ do it”.
So I guess sedition is no longer a crime *if you work for the government*...

SORRY!

These jackalopes are in no way taking this seriously. PT, it's time to clean house at the FBI. Civil rights were violated and a crew attempted a coup against a President.

This is not a training issue.

HEADLINE: FBI’s Wray tells FISA court Bureau ‘deeply regrets’ failures felonious premeditated fraud on the Court and gross violation of individual Civil Rights in Carter Page case

The least that useless Chickensh*t Wray could do would be refer to it by what it actually was and not what he wishes it were: multiple felonies.

Next time you get arrested for any federal crime, just use their “sorry about the mistake” defense.

Lie to the FBI?

Hey, sorry fellas. I just need more "training."

I am sure some useless Power Point slides that I have to click through, and then print my little "Certificate of Training" will take care of the whole affair.

Right Smirking Wray?

Hey, it's OK. We're the frickin FBI!

Watch yourself, or we'll "interview" you too. And you better not lie to us! Even if you tell the truth, we'll just alter our own Form 302s and say you lied.

Isn't POWER wonderful?!

As far as your little complaint, I'll do 20 minute Computer Based Training (CBT) module of a few Power Point slides, print the certificate, and we're good to go!

well, hey, if the dude “deeply regrets” stuff, i’m sure just a little slap on the hand will probably be good enough to make things all better again ...

Looks like Benny Hill but not as trustworthy or aware of reality.
