Four FBI wiretap applications targeting a Trump campaign volunteer were more inaccurate than previously known based on subsequent investigative information, an analysis shows.
The FBI applications to federal judges under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) are a central focus of the Justice Department’s special review of how the Obama administration started its probe into the Donald Trump campaign.
Obtaining four surveillance warrants on Carter Page from October 2016 to September 2017 was one of the FBI’s most aggressive steps to try to prove that Trump associates conspired with the Kremlin to interfere in the 2016 election. The FBI asserted that Mr. Page was a foreign agent for Russia and helped it interfere in the election.
In the end, special counsel Robert Mueller’s March report said that his 22-month investigation didn’t find any such conspiracy. He essentially cleared Mr. Page.

No wire taps it’s all a right wing conspiracy. James Comey did a simple investigation case closed nothing to see.
Comey did NOT do a "simple investigation". He "interviewed" Clinton without having recordings or notes, and with several of her lawyers present. That's not an investigation, it's an excuse for one.
2:23 You are absolutely correct. It’s a shame those like 12:16 choose to repeat lies instead of researching. I guess ignorance is bliss.
