A false emergency alert in Minnesota mistakenly ordered residents in six counties to "evacuate now" during a botched test. Separately, FBI Director Christopher Wray issued an apology to the FISA court following an Inspector General report detailing "unacceptable" errors and omissions in the surveillance of Trump advisor Carter Page. The hosts criticize the lack of accountability for the "dirty cops" involved in the investigation.

The Inspector General report by Michael Horowitz reveals 17 "missteps" or irregularities in the FBI's handling of FISA warrants to surveil Carter Page. Senator Lindsey Graham warns that the FISA court risks losing congressional support unless fundamental reforms are implemented to prevent manipulation by "bad actors" within the FBI. The hosts argue that the FBI intentionally lied to a secret court, effectively bypassing Fourth Amendment protections for American citizens.

### Steele Dossier Sub-Source, FBI Misleading the Court

- **Episode:** [1198: Self Certified](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1198-self-certified.md)
- **Published:** 2019-12-15

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1198-self-certified/chapter/steele-dossier-sub-source-fbi-misleading-the-court.md

The primary sub-source for the Steele dossier told the FBI in January 2017 that Christopher Steele's reports were based on "rumor and speculation" heard at a bar, specifically disavowing the "pee tape" allegations. Despite this, the FBI informed the FISA court that the source was "truthful and cooperative" to secure two additional warrants against Carter Page. The hosts call for the abolition of the FISA court system due to these systemic deceptions.
