Of course our government is able to "run amok". I have a perfect example here in my hometown. (Our city government decided it could charge us whatever they wanted for our water, and they were very wrong.) But this is not the case here. This is a very serious investigation.

Was information omitted from the FISA warrant request?
Yes, you are going to tell me that this was a Democratic funded opposition research blah blah blah. But it really wasn't, was it? It originated as Republican funded opposition research. This speaks volumes about the research itself. The people who created the dossier didn't care who was paying the bill, but instead they were doing their job. They did their job when the Republicans were paying for, and they did their job when the Democrats were paying for it. They shared the same information they had given to the Republicans with the Democrats.
The Steele dossier was funded by both Republicans and Democrats.
And it was disclosed. In fact, the original FISA warrant was sixty pages long if I recall correctly.
I don't care where the information came from. They got the dossier, started to investigate it, and discovered some of it was very true. Combined with other evidence they had plenty of reason to request a FISA warrant which was granted - multiple times.
