FBI's 'Case Agent 1' Stephen Somma 'primarily responsible' for FISA failures

The Justice Department Inspector watchdog referred FBI agent Stephen Somma for disciplinary review after an investigation into alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses.

Somma, a counterintelligence investigator in the FBI's New York field office, was identified only as "Case Agent 1" in Inspector General Michael Horowitz's report, released in December. Sources told the New York Times that Somma is that official. The FBI did not comment for the report.

Somma was “primarily responsible for some of the most significant errors and omissions" during the process of obtaining FISA warrants to wiretap Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in 2016 and 2017, according to Horowitz. Horowitz confirmed the FBI relied heavily upon British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s salacious and unverified dossier when pursuing the secret surveillance.

The DOJ watchdog found 17 “significant inaccuracies and omissions” in the FBI's applications to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to wiretap Page, who was under suspicion of being an agent for Russia. He was never charged with any wrongdoing.

I note the conspicuous absence of the name Steven Somma as well as many others!

@sneakypete

No, they tend to find some low-level operator nobody's heard of to scapegoat and hang the crimes on him/her.  Like in this story.

@Bigun

That's because he's the unfortunate person chosen to take the fall for McCabe and Comey.  "Scapegoat."

When little  names DO COME OUT,

think of  the higher names, hidden by Plausible Deniability?

McCabe, Comey, Lynch, Obama, Clapper, Brennan etc.
