I don't get your point Rootilda?
The fact that Page had been an informant for the CIA (the circumstances about which have not been revealed, to the best of my knowledge) might have resulted in the FISA application being denied.
So, the FBI failed to disclose the relationship in the FISA application and then an FBI attorney doctored an email to make it appear that Page was not a CIA informant when the Justice Department was following up on the matter.
Any way you objectively look at it, it's bad for the FBI, not Page or Trump. I suspect it will be getting its share of coverage (if it isn't already) by media and Trump's allies in government.
I remember Trump tweeting about his objections to the Page FISA warrants many months back. I don't know if he'll do it again with reference to the new IG report, but it seems likely to me.
