Analysis: Something President Trump's DOJ and the ACLU agree on — the IG report on the Russia probe shows the process for getting secret warrants is badly flawed.
"When the Justice Department’s Inspector General finds significant concerns regarding flawed surveillance applications concerning the president's campaign advisers, it is clear that this regime lacks basic safeguards and is in need of serious reform,” she said in a statement. “While the report found that there wasn't an improper purpose or initiation of the investigation, it also found significant problems that are alarming from a civil liberties perspective.
The IG report found 17 significant errors or omissions in four applications for surveillance on Page, which, in the end, was portrayed as yielding little relevant information.“We concluded that the failures…represent serious performance failures by the supervisory and non-supervisory agents with responsibility over the FISA applications,” the report says.
For example, an FBI source validation review found that Steele, who had worked with the bureau in the past, provided information that was only"minimally corroborated." But the FBI didn’t tell that to the FISA court, the report says.
