The FBI investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign's possible collusion with Russia was not politically motivated, but agents involved in the probe made significant and appalling mistakes."Mistakes" is a bit generous, I think. We may see the actions otherwise characterized when the criminal investigation into them comes due.
These mistakes should terrify all Americans....
The IG report is a wakeup call: for Republicans who foolishly claimed the FBI's secretive spying process was necessary and unthreatening, for anti-Trump media pundits who uncritically parroted the talking points of top officials, and for any Americans who still think it is worth trading away their liberties. If government agents were this sloppy during a politically charged investigation that they knew would put their entire apparatus under the spotlight, it's safe to assume their normal conduct is even worse.

Realizing in 2007 that there were a whole bunch of traitors in DC that Americans were ignoring and having fun ignoring, wasn't very pleasant. These days are a vacation in comparison.
