"This Pattern Of Clumsy Manipulation Is Everywhere In The Record Of CrossFire Hurricane Probe"

Per the IG report, a single report is delivered to the FBI in the summer of 2016.

The source in question has no track record of any kind with the FBI. Papadopoulos has been employed by the Trump campaign for perhaps 90 days at this point, and there is no reason to believe he has contacts of significance in the Kremlin.

Again, as new FBI personnel, unwitting of the plot are assigned to the investigation they keep doing their jobs.

Again, per the IG report, Bruce Ohr, a senior Department of Justice lawyer with no role of any kind in the investigation, but a wife who works for Fusion GPS, suddenly appears and makes himself a conduit between Steele and the FBI. Beyond that he meets directly with the head of Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, obtains at least one thumb drive full of Steele's reports and ferries those to the FBI. The pipeline is reestablished.

No one in the Department of Justice or FBI has asked Ohr to play this role.

The IG report on the Crossfire Hurricane investigation runs to hundreds of pages, and it contains a wealth of information.

The FBI did not conduct an investigation of Donald Trump and his associates that ultimately proved to be based on false information and continue that investigation long past the time it should have been shut down simply because some people made some errors in judgment or some procedures need to be changed.
