Even critics of the deep state were shocked when Inspector General Michael Horowitz submitted his Report investigating the FBI, the U.S. Government's most iconic bureaucracy.
The hometown Washington Post tried to minimize the bureaucratic failure by emphasizing in its headline that Horowitz found the FBI did pass the minimum bar for beginning an investigation of the 2016 Trump campaign.
The IG continued, "So many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations that was briefed to the highest levels within the FBI," it represented a failure of "Not only the operational team, but also of the managers and supervisors, including senior officials in the chain of command."
The FBI bureaucrats did not report this information to the FISC either, with one FBI lawyer directly lying by actually writing that Page was "Not a source."
Today, following the recent Report, the FISC has again requested explanations and changes in procedures from the FBI. But the FBI bureaucracy has been impervious to outside control.
In the closing bureaucratic indignity of that newsy day, Hollywood legend Clint Eastwood announced his new movie Richard Jewell documenting the FBI story at the 1996 Summer Olympics.
Rather than treating him as a hero, the FBI leaked to the media that Jewell was their suspect for the bombing, initiating a year of hounding by journalists and agents, only ended by volunteer lawyers forcing FBI officers to issue a "No target" letter exonerating Jewell.
