The FBI is in a world of hurt. After IG Michael Horowitz was done with his investigation, he decided to audit the FBI and their FISA applications in other cases unrelated to the president. In the 29 cases they reviewed, every single one of them perpetrated a hoax on the FISA Court.
Horowitz wrote:
“As a result of our audit work to date and as described below, we do not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance with FBI policy.”
The Woods Memos are the proof that the facts were confirmed by the FBI and that it is not mere speculation. Four of the 29 cases had no Woods memos at all. The FISA court has now ordered the FBI to supply the court with “names” and “docket numbers” for 29 applications “for which the FBI could not locate a Woods File and the three for which it could not say whether a Woods File ever existed.”
The FISC will then rule on which warrants were invalid and someone will have to answer for these violations of the law. (I hope)

“As a result of our audit work to date and as described below, we do not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods Procedures in compliance with FBI policy,” the OIG said in a 17-page memorandum.
The “Woods Procedures” were designed to protect American citizens to “ensure accuracy with regard to … the facts supporting probable cause” after recurring abuses where the FBI presented inaccurate information to the FISC.
Despite the overwhelming evidence of FISA abuse, there still has been zero indictments of Deep State officials.
We want prosecutions, not scathing reports and strongly worded letters blasting FBI officials.
