Are you going on record saying that you believe that all of the FISA "mistakes" in the IG Report were just a gigantic coincidence? No name calling, just answer the question.
Yes, mommy dearest, you get to set the rules for responding. Ahem, no, troll. All of the FISA "mistakes" is straight of the alt-right conspiracy websites. Try reading something no so partisan, troll, like...
The IG's report found some mistakes in the FBI's handling of the FISA process, but that those mistakes did not undermine the premise for the FBI's investigation. That being the premise that Russia interfered in the 2016 election.
No, YOU read something not partisan, like directly from the IG Report:
"Horowitz's team of investigators found "significant inaccuracies and omissions in each of the four applications — seven in the first FISA applications and a total of 17 by the final renewal." As a result of these 17 inaccuracies and omissions, Horowitz wrote that relevant information was not shared with and considered by decisionmakers at the Justice Department and the national security court.
All of the applications also left out information the FBI obtained from another government agency about its previous relationship with Page.
Horowitz concluded that members of the FBI's team investigating ties between Russia and the Trump campaign "failed to meet the basic obligation that the Carter Page FISA applications were "scrupulously accurate."
Additionally, the internal watchdog found "the surveillance of Carter Page continued even as the FBI gathered information that weakened the assessment of probable cause and made the FISA applications less accurate."

We're talking about career FBI professionals here, and they expect us to accept that they just made a shlt ton of mistakes? Please.
Just like the Hillary email investigation, every wrongdoing is just explained away as "sloppy", "extremely careless", or "negligent." You think you or I would get the same treatment. HELL NO!
