“It paints a very damning portrayal of the FBI’s activities in their investigation leading up to the surveillance of Carter Page,” Ross said. “This report does come out and say the FBI had the proper justification to open an investigation into the Trump campaign and to seek these surveillance warrants, but those are very low bars to reach that level.” (RELATED: Instead Of Airing Sen.

The Horowitz report “systematically” lays out the FBI’s failings to disclose significant elements of Christopher Steele’s dossier, as well as procedural failings extending well into the investigation.
