The Justice Department inspector general’s report into the Russia collusion investigation lays out incontrovertible evidence that the FBI misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court through false information and omissions, according to sources familiar with its findings.
The evidence that the judges were misled is so sweeping that it could provide grounds, if Attorney General William Barr chooses, to withdraw the FBI’s application for the surveillance warrants that began in October 2016 to target ex-Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, the sources added.
Such a move, while mostly legally symbolic since the probe is long since closed, would still amount to a resounding rebuke to an FBI probe that the bureau, Democrats and their media allies relentlessly defended.
A spokeswoman for the Justice Department did not respond to a request for comment on Monday morning.
“The evidence of false statements, false information, deception through omission is going to raise an important debate about FISA,” one source told me.
The report is expected to conclude the FBI’s decision to open a counterintelligence probe of the Trump campaign’s possible ties to Russia in 2016 was adequately predicated but that its subsequent reliance on the so-called Steele dossier and execution of FISA warrants to assist the probe were problematic.

SO WHO’S GOING TO JAIL FOR IT????????????????
A report “investigating” a Rat would have taken a day at most to clear them.
“according to sources familiar with its findings.”
Worthless
The GOP really isn't interested in justice and putting this to bed any more than the DNC. Afterall, its politics and spending continues to increase at an unsustainable pace. so all is good in DC.
30 minutes and it will be out!
The report supposedly comes out at 1pm EST.
Traitor Roberts fault.
Right, no reasonable prosecutor...
Misleading FISA is only a crime if you are a Republican—it says so right in the statute! ;-)
Somebody did something
If this is all there is, it’s a big nothingburger. Those of us in the know have been aware of this for some time.
Posts / “Misled” BUMP! WOW those Freepers are sharp! Is that a step up or a step down from the “no spin zone”?
Believe Comey got away with this before and he expects he will again!
What say you, dollar Bill?
Only Horowitz could say that the FBI had deeply flawed in their execution, but then give credence to the investigation.. Since the data they based their concerns on was so obviously flawed, so too then was the ensuing investigation.
If this was a Counterintelligence investigation,why wasn’t Trump notified of the people in his campaign,so he could question them or fire them? Those types of investigations are done to inform people of problems just like Diane Feinsteins employment of a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years,they told her,they didn’t go for a FISA warrant to investigate her entire staff,or her family!
Oooooh. We're going to withdraw your application that is no longer being used. That'll hurt.
Not!
Where are the criminal referrals? Where are the Barr indictments?
““The evidence of false statements, false information, deception through omission is going to raise an important debate about FISA,”
Repeal the Patriot Act and all its progeny. Eliminate the FISC.
Cut the FBI in half, at least. Along with NSA.

"Compelling" to me always meant that something would force or "compel" someone to do something.
What would that be? I see no action. We shall see.
However, I'm not sure Ill live that long.
One could simply ask the judge if they felt misled. No need for other evidence from which “judge was misled” might be inferred.
