From Tough 'Dirty 30' Prosecutor to Tame Deep State Drone

"We identified at least 17 significant errors or omissions in the Carter Page FISA applications, and many additional errors in the Woods Procedures" of the FBI, the report explains.

The FBI's Peter Strzok, known for texts with Lisa Page touting an "Insurance policy," appears in the report 66 times.

Strzok's supervisor, William Priestap, Assistant Director of the FBI's Counterintelligence Division, "Ultimately made the decision to open the investigation," and that decision came "After multiple days of discussions and meetings that included Strzok and other leadership in CD, the FBI Deputy Director, the FBI General Counsel, and an FBI Deputy General Counsel."

The report contends, "We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision." The report mentions "Prosecution" ten times but does not recommend criminal prosecution of any FBI or DOJ official.

"The Inspector General's report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken," Barr said in a statement.

During an investigation of the Hillary Clinton matter, Horowitz found that multiple statements of former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe were "Lacking candor" and that McCabe violated FBI policy by releasing sensitive information to reporters.

"We do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predications and how the FBI case was opened," U.S. Attorney John Durham said in a statement.
