That particular 3 letter agency told the FBI not to believe the Steele Dossier.
The Steele Dossier was less reliable without those edits and obfuscations and the above not mentioned three letter agency stated to not trust the Steele Dossier.
That FBI lawyers knowingly omitted information that would weaken the Steele Dossier and illegally edited the documents used in the FISA application several times to keep the investigation going, knowing the information they had was insufficient to ask for the 302 or even worse, ran counter to what they were using on the application.
That on the 302 Page had met with particular Russians that it turns out he didn't meet with. (Side note, Carter Page still seems like a dumbass).
That the Steele Dossier / Fusion GPS was funded by the DNC.
There are others but these are the key items (well, these and outright fraud) that allowed the 302 Application to go through FISA and get us here we we are today.
So good, no Politically Motivated Deep State Witch Hunt Conspiracy, just some career SES people cooking the books to make it look like the other guy was cooking the books.
Ya know in those movies where it shows the Good Cops fudging the info to get the Judge to sign off on a Warrant because they just know the other guy is guilty and they want leverage or a chance to "uncover" other items?
Well this is what happens when they eff up.
I generally like Rick Wilson and have followed him since before the primaries but he is a Snake Oil Merchant and his current income is directly anti-Trump. He has trotted along the Trump Conspiracy for years and goes deep into the Russia Did It and Putin Owns Trump for a while. He is not Louise Mensch level crazy.

That was the third application mind you. And the IG still found no political bias.
