probe: Horowitz referred the entire chain of command to the FBI and DOJ for how to assess and address their performance failures during the probe, which was conducted while Comey was in charge.IG HOROWITZ RIPS FBI 'FAILURE IN RUSSIA PROBE, SAYS NOBODY VINDICATED BY REPORT He's right, I was wrong, Comey said about how the FBI used the FISA process, adding, I was overconfident as director in our procedures, and that what happened was not acceptable, according to MSNBC. Horowitz did make it clear that he believes the FBI's investigation of Russian election interference and possible connections with the Trump campaign was properly initiated, but he did note that this is based on a low threshold. All market data delayed 20 Comey Published 1 day ago Comey admits I was wrong' on FISA conduct, remains defiant on dossier in tense interview By Ronn Blitzer Fox Comey on findings from DOJ inspector general's report on alleged FISA abuse Former FBI Director James Comey joins Chris Wallace for an exclusive interview on 'Fox News Sunday.'Former FBI Director James Comey admitted on Fox News Sunday that the recently released Justice Department Inspector General's report on the launch of the FBI's Russia investigation and their use of the surveillance process showed that he was overconfident when he defended his former agency's use of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act FISA . This comes days after Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report and testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee detailed concerns that included 17 significant errors and omissions by the FBI's investigative team when applying for a FISA warrant to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. He also concluded that there was no testimonial or documentary evidence to show that the investigation started due to any political bias, but said the issue of bias gets murkier when it comes to the various issues with the FISA process. Horowitz's report stated that government attorneys were hesitant to approve a FISA warrant application until they relied on unverified information from Steele. That process included the reliance on information gathered by former British spy Christopher Steele as part of opposition research conducted by Fusion GPS for the Democratic National Committee and Clinton campaign.
