The FBI Can’t Be Trusted With the Surveillance of Americans

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz issued a new report that found systematic errors of fact in the FBI’s applications for warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. ... Out of 42 applications, the report says, 39 included major defects.

The article goes on to detail how the FBI ignored long-standing rules in order to illegally spy on politicians:

His conclusion is straightforward. “We do not have confidence that the FBI has executed its Woods procedures in compliance with FBI policy,” the report says.
