Justice Dept. should require high-level approval before the FBI opens an investigation into a major political campaign, department's inspector general tells senators during testimony on report into investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016.

He said Horowitz uncovered"a massive conspiracy over time to defraud the FISA court, illegally surveil an American citizen," and keep an investigation going into a sitting president.

Graham painted a picture of a group of anti-Trumpers within the FBI who cooked up a bogus investigation. Horowitz did find a series of errors in how the bureau got approval for conducting electronic surveillance of Page, who ultimately was never charged with a crime. And he found some concerns with how the FBI approached its investigation into a presidential campaign.

Why didn't NBC telecast Senator Graham's opening statement? We all know why. NBC is an arm of the Democrats and didn't want to give its viewers a different perspective than theirs about Horowitz's findings. NBC is Fake News.

Also, people seeking a warrant should be discouraged from planting evidence.

Is Obama high-level enough? If he knew, he approved.....

If the FBI was out to get Trump, why didn’t they? Why didn’t one of them leak to the media that the Trump campaign was being investigated ? If they had, he would have lost.

These Dirty Cops Comey JohnBrennan Clapper are not above the law and must be brought to justice!

You just figured this out at 1:53 AM eastern time? What were you doing all day?

So, help me here, why isn't Biden protected by his accusers having a credible claim? Oh, yeah, he's a Democrat.

A Trump puppet appointed by Barr

Politicians are special. DemandTermLimits

should apologize for misleading Americans for 3 years

Slip-ups? This is exactly why your ratings have plummeted. And the American people know you are FAKE NEWS. You're never going to regain our confidence again... DEAL with it .. Your Reign is over.

'Slip ups' 17 instances of exculpatory evidence being withheld from the FISA court cant possibly just be 'slip ups' let's see what Barr and Durham have to say

These slip up are very serious if you think spying on a candidate is ok the President Trump should be able to do this to the democrats

reisegrrl1 “Slip-ups”? You mean intentional crimes?

'embarrassing slip-up'?!? Are you serious? That lawyer fraudulently doctored the answer to the main question in the email! He knowingly defrauded the Court to obtain a warrant to spy on an American citizen! That's a CRIME!

“Slip Ups” ? more like MANUFACTURED EVIDENCE.

Embarrassing slip ups?

AKA a scam.

“Embarrassing slip-ups” 🙄

IG is part of the deep state!!!!

'slip-ups,' yeah sure, the FBI just accidentally doctored an e-mail so that its content was exactly opposite of it's original intent.

They falsified documents to illegally spy on Carter Page you insufferable hacks.

Slip-ups? Doctored? Fucking lied and omitted evidence to a court! For fucks sake, even democrats should be appalled or do they think most bureaucrats are with them so they don’t have to worry? 🤔

JuliansRum It was far more than just “embarrassing slip-ups”. A purposely altered email to be used to obtain a warrant is not a slip up. It was deliberately done to device the FISA court in order to obtain a fraudulent warrant.

NBC just called manipulating and manufacturing evidence, that was used in the FISA Warrant process, a slip-up by the FBI. So much gaslighting to minimize the egregious actions taken by the FBI.

JuliansRum Deliberate alterations are not slip ups. They are crimes.

Is this guy a suck up to Barr?

I would call it fraud, not a slip-up! Someone’s ass needs to be in prison.

Maybe they just did not want to blow his cover,there is more to this story, A lot of people think they know all the answers,when they done know crap.

I wouldn't really classify the intentional forgery of a document a 'slip-up,' but you do you

LOL Did you just write slip-ups and 'doctored' in the same sentence? Dude, they just tried to frame and innocent man of treason so that he wouldn't be President!

I just read another story riddled with lies by the reporter and SenKamalaHarris ..TheJusticeDept AG Barr did NOT ridicule IG report. He was complimentary of the work but that he thought there WAS intrusive spying and largely unjustified. U also misrepresented IG. GOP

JuliansRum Slip ups? 🤦‍♂️

No the FBI does not do “slip-ups”. They were all intentional.

Anyone claiming to be a liberal should be shocked at the violation of Carter Page's civil liberties. Falsifies info was submitted against him and exculpatory information was withheld to a FISA court. Absolutely appalling.

Wtf is wrong with you? No shame? Slip ups? My god, they lied and altered emails as evidence, everything a citizen would have nightmares about an all powerful state agency doing, they did. I know it stings, because... narrative, but the jig is up.

JuliansRum Federal bla bla bla... Its Fiction Based Investigation. The FBI is FUBAR. They spy on and conspire against everyone.

The slip ups were bias against the President. And Schiff needs to answer for his lies regarding the mountain of evidence that he had against the President.

A deliberately altered document is not a 'slip-up'. Allowing just one of your low level staffers to avoid prosecution due to the mountains of paperwork created by everyone at being arrested for Sedition would be a 'slip-up'. EnemyOfThePeople

JuliansRum Slip-ups

JuliansRum who came up with the phrase “slipups?”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

JuliansRum Way to make light of intentional, illegal wrong doings!

how can a doctored email be a slip-up? because it would add credence to Trump's narrative? this is so sad

SLIP UPS? NO THIS WAS FAKE INFORMATION THIS WAS INTENTIONAL AND EVIL. THIS WAS ILLEGAL! WE THE PEOPLE ARE INFURIATED

SPYGATE TREASON HOLDTHEMACCOUNTABLE

We the people are not happy. These are Serious ABUSES! They SPIED AND THEY LIED. They had NO REASON TO DO SO, SO THEY PAID FOR THE FAKE DOSSIER THIS IS ABSURDITY

JuliansRum NBC tells the truth? Holy shit

JuliansRum Woah. NBC news is actually reporting a fact.

JuliansRum CORRUPTION AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS! OBAMA KNEW OBAMAGATE SPYGATE TREASON

JuliansRum 'Slip ups?'

“Slip ups” ? 😂

That's called spying on Americans. Thanks Comey (you have placed yourself right next to J Edgar Hoover)

Errors, slip ups, mistakes is code for crimes committed by Democrats. See Hillary Clinton and every other corrupt Liberal bastard in the past 10 years.

That that sink in .... FBI 'doctored' evidence in order to spy on Trump.

Let’s go back and look at all the stuff you said about Mr. page.

Intentionally lying on a FISA application is NOT a “slip-up.” 🙄

Wow! You guys tried reporting. Good! Keep it up! You may find truth is more challenging and rewarding than fiction.

It is interesting how NBC characterizes the FBI framing an individual so the Obama admin can spy on a political opponent, as a “slip-up”. Did someone leave a banana peel on the ground and they slipped on it and accidentally “doctored” information?

'a litany of embarrassing slip-ups' And this is yet ANOTHER reason why President Trump gets HUGE cheers when he mocks you.

How does this not bring into question any FISA application since 2016?

Slip ups?

If this does not concern EVERY SINGLE CITIZEN then this democracy is in big trouble. Unfettered, govt surveillance is unamerican

Slip-ups? I think you mean fabricated events, these “errors” were completely intentional

Who ordered the FBI to do what they did, yes who is the question and the answer is Obama was in charge at the time

“Doctored”, “Slip up”. Come on

Russia backed Republicans have “Made America Great Again.” According to the most pathetic Americans I know.

🤔 Is the FBI Director & State Dept briefing President Obama about it high enough or is there a level higher I'm unaware of?

What about 'deep concerns' with the person sitting in the White House? If Americans call people names like 'human scum' they might get hurt, or have a lawsuit filed against them for defamation, but not POTUS! Why is that America? Remember, no one is ABOVE THE LAW, right?

It doesn't get any higher than Obama. Comey claims he briefed Obama so either Obama told another lie or Comey lied again. We know both have trouble with the truth.

Oh that sounds like a great idea. Not! Please, don’t be the uneducated.

Interesting you aren’t carrying this love.

So, if they weren't bias that would make Obamas intel leaders the most incompetent bunch of assholes in US history.

They are just making it easier for Russia to have its way with our country....Lindsey Graham is oviously compromised.....I hope he is 'outed' in his home state one day....let him live the rest of his days in Russia....
