WASHINGTON — The secret court that approves orders to conduct surveillance on suspected foreign terrorists or spies issued a highly unusual public rebuke of the FBI on Tuesday, ordering the agency to say how it intends to correct the errors revealed last week by the Justice Department inspector general.
Rosemary Collyer, presiding judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, said the inspector general's report"calls into question whether information contained in other FBI applications is reliable." She ordered the FBI to file a report by Jan. 10 on how it intends to remedy those mistakes.Inspector General Michael Horowitz expressed misgivings about the FBI's errors
and omissions in its requests for judicial approval to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page. "We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate, hand-picked investigative teams on one of the most sensitive FBI investigations after the matter had been briefed to the highest levels within the FBI," Horowitz said.
Under questioning from committee Chairman Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Horowitz discussed a litany of embarrassing slip-ups by the FBI, including the actions of a lawyer who the inspector general said"doctored" an email to make it seem like Page was not a CIA source, when in fact he was. That potentially exculpatory information was never shared with the FISA court, which approved the surveillance warrant.

BillyMacLeod BREAK NEWS, THE SECRET FISA COURT HAS SAID THAT BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE TOLD THEM SOMETHING THEY SAID THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN... WHAT A JOKE...
What took so long. Fox has been reporting on this for 3 years about the Fake Russian Dossier and abuse of the FISA courts. The Fake Media help spread the fake dossier so it shouldn’t be a surprise for them especially since they have former employees of FBI working for them
I believe the word is misleading, not mistakes.
There were no mistakes. It was a coup attempt and the 2 FBI love birds text messages make it clear this was a coordinated effort by a few criminals in Obama's DOJ. After 8 years of attacks against political opponents and spying on citizens they thought it was the new norm.
“Mistakes”!!! Seriously msnbc. Stop down playing this
Reporting the presentation of intentionally false fraudulent evidence to the FISA court as mistakes is as irresponsible as the crimes committed by the FBI
Mistakes? Leave it to MSNBC to provide cover.
Mistakes? Are you kidding or lying as usual? The FBI used fraudulent misrepresentations and omissions to obtain the warrant. The Court should refer the matter to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.
Is anybody buying this? The FISC is a rubber stamp and always has been. They deny like 0.2% of warrant apps. The court is either incompetent or complicit in what happened with Carter Page. To blame the FBI is chicken*&^t.
We know who to thank for this Donald trump Planted seeds of doubt and now no one can trust them
a scathing letter from FISC Will Force FBI to Face its Actions that led to Major Abuse and violations in the Carter Page FISA application... 'FBI...Misled FISC' Secret Court Demands Answers From FBI By Jan. 10 fisa court is mad they where lied to, Comey is done
BCinQC The FBI broke more laws than Trump. 😂
Lol..' public rebuke'..what a joke..these people are in a different universe..
The IG report and former FBI Director Comey acknowledges mistakes where made..what is Highly unusual is for the court to make a statement about it..Hmmm He’s still being impeached tomorrow
“Mistakes” is not the word.
Does msnbc really believe that if they keep calling them 'mistakes' people who know better will eventually believe them? That genie cannot be put back in the bottle. FBI misfeasance and malfeasance are now clearly known and those responsible must be held to account at all levels
'Mistakes'
