Comey: 'I was wrong' to say FISA process was 'followed'

We determined that the Crossfire Hurricane team’s receipt of Steele’s election reporting on September 19, 2016 played a central and essential role in the FBI’s and Department’s decision to seek the FISA order,”

...

“in support of the fourth element in the FISA application-Carter Page’s alleged coordination with the Russian government on 2016 U.S. presidential election activities, the application relied entirely on the following information from Steele Reports 80, 94, 95, and 102.” - IG Report

 

In the interview above, Comey claims that it's incredibly hard to obtain a FISA warrant. In reality it's more like a rubber stamp process eg. out of 1,080 requests by the government in 2018 only 1 was denied.

 

More guff...
