Attention Mr. Mueller, the OIG report makes it pretty clear you're pushing the wrong rope. Are you shocked that it was the previous administration that colluded with foreign spies to interfere in an election? If not you should be!
On Monday the Senate released 500 pages of documents that contain among other things un-redacted texts between disgraced FBI paramours Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that the FBI had previously released. The difference is that the FBI redacted certain words in these texts using national security as the excuse for the redactions. We now know the FBI lied about said reasoning.
Within a particular Strzok/Page text the word “lures” was redacted. The word “lures” in FBI lingo refers to spies. [source]
CYA is the only reason to redact this word. The FBI KNEW that if this information came out, they would be busted for running an illegal operation against Trump and his campaign staff.
Officially, the investigation into Trump/Russia collusion named “Crossfire Hurricane” did not begin until July 31st of 2016. The above text that refers to inserting spies into the Trump Campaign is from December 28th of 2015!
Retired FBI assistant director for intelligence Kevin Brock supervised the rewriting of bureau rules governing sources, under then-director Robert Mueller a decade ago.
Those rules forbid the FBI from directing a human source to target an American until a formally predicated investigative file is opened.
