Crapo is trying to interject politics into an official document. There is no evidence beyond that of the Inspector General. If Crapo has more evidence he needs to introduce it.
THERE IS NO DEEP STATE, CRAPO!
The degree of those involved is due to the high profile of the case.

Why do I get the feeling as though I have to read this? The level of political dialogue introjected into this report is hideous and contrary to the national security of the USA.
"Lisa Page is not in the FISA discussions."
Gee, what a disappointment, she is such a recognizable scapegoat.
This report was originally issued on December 9, 2019. The report was updated on December 11, 2019, with the following changes (page references are to the public version of the report):
On pages iv, xvi, 400, and 407, we changed the phrase “before and after” to “both during and after the time.” In all instances, the phrase appears in connection to the time period during which we found that the Crossfire Hurricane team used Confidential Human Sources (CHSs) to interact and consensually record conversations with Page and Papadopoulos. The corrected information appearing in this updated report reflects the accurate information concerning these time periods that previously appeared, and still appears, on pages 305 and 313 (e.g., the statement on page 305 that “the Crossfire Hurricane team tasked CHSs to interact with Page and Papadopoulos both during the time Page and Papadopoulos were advisors to the Trump campaign, and after Page and Papadopoulos were no longer affiliated with the Trump campaign”).
Crossfire Hurricane: Inside Donald Trump's War on the FBI (Hardcover)
By Josh Campbell
It is January 6, 2017, (click here) two weeks before the inauguration. Only a handful of people know about the Steele dossier, and the nation is bitterly divided by the election results. As rumors begin to circulate that something might be brewing with the newly elected president and Russia, FBI special agent Josh Campbell joins the heads of the US intelligence community on a briefing visit to Trump Tower in New York City. He does not yet know that this meeting will eventually lead to the firing of his boss, James Comey, or that within weeks his former boss Robert Mueller will be appointed to investigate collusion and obstruction of justice at the highest level. He does not yet know that the FBI will come under years of sustained attacks from the commander in chief of the very nation its agents have sworn to protect. But, from his unique position within the FBI, he will watch it occur.
In this gripping fly-on-the-wall narrative, Campbell takes readers behind the scenes of the earliest days of the Russia investigation—codename: Crossfire Hurricane—up to the present...
I am quite certain a professional such as Josh Campbell makes a far more interesting and informed assessment of this examination of the FBI. "Crossfire Hurricane" is the name of the Russian investigation, not the work of the IG.
