I'm not completely sure that I understand the point you're trying to make.. but I'll say this... The threshold to start an investigation is apparently quite low.  I don't necessarily have a problem with IG's finding in that regard.  Now, we could make an argument that the standard should be raised, and that's fine.  But that's not what this investigation was about.  If people in the FBI are handling the information and running it through their system, not every person in that "chain" or "assembly line" is going to question the validity of the material they're handling, because that's not their job.  Did some people know that the dossier was bogus?  Sure.  Did everyone who came in contact with it know?  No.    Starting an investigation is one thing.. however, continuing the investigation after it's made apparent that your main piece of predicating data is false is something else entirely, and THAT is the fucking issue here.  And in that regard, IG's findings bolster our case! And for the thousandth time, the fact that the IG determined that the FISA warrant was granted because of the dossier as the primary piece of predicating evidence - that is fucking HUGE and it blows the leftist narrative to fucking pieces.  That one finding is all we really even needed, and we got it.
