Horowitz Report Is "Triumph" For FISA Abuse 'Whistleblower' Devin Nunes: WSJ's Kim Strassel

Yup, IG said FBI hit threshold for opening an investigation.

The report is triumph for former House Intel Chair Devin Nunes, who first blew the whistle on FISA abuse.

The report confirms all the elements of the February 2018 Nunes memo, which said dossier was as an "Essential" part of applications, and FBI withheld info from FISA court.

IG finds 17 separate problems with FISA court submissions, including FBI's overstatement of Steele's credentials.

The Report also expressed concerns about FBI's failure to present any of these issues to DOJ higher ups; its ongoing contacts with Steele after he was fired for talking to media; and its use of spies against the campaign without any DOJ input.

Those facts produce a pattern of FBI playing the FISA Court-overstating some info, omitting other info, cherrypicking details.

Finally, intriguing just how many people at the FBI don't remember anything about anything.
