NBC News: DOJ watchdog tells Senate he has deep concerns about FBI errors in Russia probe
"We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by three separate [teams]," DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz said.
WASHINGTON — The Justice Department should require high-level approval before the FBI opens an investigation into a major political campaign, the department's inspector general testified Wednesday as he briefed senators on his report into the probe of the 2016 Trump campaign.
In his opening statement to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Inspector General Michael Horowitz expressed misgivings about the FBI's errors and omissions in its requests for judicial approval to conduct surveillance on Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

"When a mass shooting fits a political narrative, the information on it is released quickly. When it doesn't, the authorities stall and the media spins. There's extensive coverage of what witnesses saw, but no tangible facts or meaningful information."
"In the Jersey City shooting at the JC Kosher supermarket, the media and authorities initially claimed that the location was random, then admitted that it had been targeted, but slow-walked the release of information about the shooters.
That told us it was either ISLAMIC TERRORISTS or BLACK NATIONALISTS.
A white nationalist mass shooter isn't that likely in Jersey City and the information would have been quickly put out there."
