Inspector General Michael Horowitz, in his first public remarks after releasing a report on the FBIs FISA investigation, blamed top officials in the FBI for failure in overseeing a flawed effort to get authority to surveil Carter Page, an American foreign policy adviser who worked on President Donald Trumps election effort.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked investigative teams; on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations; after the matter had been briefed to the highest levels within the FBI; even though the information sought through use of FISA authority related so closely to an ongoing presidential campaign; and even though those involved with the investigation knew that their actions were likely to be subjected to close scrutiny,\u201d Horowitz said<\/a> in his opening remarks.<\/p>\n

Horowitzs report was released Monday as Democrats in the House ramped up their impeachment effort against Trump.<\/p>\n

Horowitz concluded that the errors amounted to a failure that implicated the chain of command at the FBI responsible for handling the FISA applications, including senior officials.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe this circumstance reflects a failure not just by those who prepared the FISA applications, but also by the managers and supervisors in the Crossfire Hurricane chain of command, including FBI senior officials who were briefed as the investigation progressed,\u201d Horowitz testified. \u201cEspecially in the FBls most sensitive and high-priority matters, and especially when seeking court permission to use an intrusive tool such as a FISA order, it is incumbent upon the entire chain of command, including senior officials, to take the necessary steps to ensure that they are sufficiently familiar with the facts and circumstances supporting and potentially undermining a FISA application in order to provide effective oversight consistent with their level of supervisory responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorney General William Barr, following the release of the report, told NBC News that the FBI under James Comey may had been acting in \u201cbad faith\u201d when it opened the probe.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think probably from a civil liberties standpoint, the greatest danger to our free system is that the incumbent government use the apparatus of the state, principally, the law enforcement agencies and the intelligence agencies, both to spy on political opponents. But as to use them in a way that could affect the outcome of the election. As far as Im aware, this is the first time in history that this has been done to a presidential campaign,\u201d he said Tuesday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The United States was \u201cturned on its head for three years\u201d due to a false narrative propagated by legacy news outlets, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think there were gross abuses \u2026 and inexplicable behavior that is intolerable in the FBI. I think that leaves open the possibility that there was bad faith,\u201d he told the broadcaster.<\/p>\n

Horowitzs comments on Wednesday came after Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) launched a salvo at the FBI and Department of Justice.<\/p>\n

The report didnt show \u201ca few irregularities\u201d but \u201cwhat happened here is the system failed. People at the highest level of government took the law in their own hands,\u201d Graham said. He added of the medias coverage: \u201cYou clearly didnt read it. If thats your taRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
