(r\/The_Donald)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The investigation into the process that led to the FISA request against the Trump Presidential Campaign came out. The Inspector-General concluded that those involved followed policy and did not exercise bias or misconduct in their actions.<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, those involved on the receiving end of President Trump&#8217;s criticisms used that conclusion to defend their positions. Many on the left appear to be gloating. However, what is actually written in the report is damning.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">From the report:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8230;our review found that FBI personnel fell far short of the requirement and FBI policy that they ensure that all factual statements in a FISA application are &#8220;scrupulously accurate.&#8221; We identified multiple instances in which factual assertions relied upon in the first FISA application were inaccurate, incomplete, or unsupported by appropriate documentation, based upon information the FBI had in its possession at the time the application was filed. We found that the problems we identified were primarily caused by the Crossfire Hurricane team failing to share all relevant information with OI and, consequently, the information was not considered by the Department decision-makers who ultimately decided to support the applications.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now, one of two things may be concluded from this statement. One, the people involved were extremely incompetent and had absolutely no clue about what they were doing. Two, they knew exactly what they were doing and deliberately withheld information in order to get the courses of action that they wanted. This also indicates a possibility that this was rushed in order to get the action that they needed in time right before the election.<\/p>\n<p>Further reading of the report would show that what the Trump Administration and supporters have argued has been the case. The report contains additional damning information against those that perpetrated this. Naturally, you&#8217;re not going to find direct evidence of bias, but actions speak volumes.<\/p>\n<p>Many on the left are spinning this to make it appear that there was no wrongdoing and that President Trump was &#8220;wrong&#8221;. Naturally, a reading of the actual document doesn&#8217;t support their arguments.
