the report said, the Crossfire Hurricane investigators knew their work would be scrutinized —
"火力颶風(fēng)"行動的調(diào)查人員知道他們的工作會受到密切的關(guān)注——
yet they nevertheless "failed to meet the basic obligation to ensure
盡管如此，他們還是"沒能履行基本的義務(wù)，
that the Carter Page FISA applications were 'scrupulously accurate.'"

The findings on the wiretap application showed that when it mattered most — with the stakes the greatest and no room for error —
報告有關(guān)竊聽工具的結(jié)論表明，即便是涉及使用強(qiáng)有力的監(jiān)聽工具這樣極其關(guān)鍵的地方——
F.B.I. officials still made numerous and serious mistakes in wielding a powerful surveillance tool.

Mr. Horowitz’s discovery calls into question the bureau’s surveillance practices in routine cases.
霍洛維茨的發(fā)現(xiàn)不禁讓人懷疑聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局在常規(guī)案件中的監(jiān)聽操作是否也是錯誤百出。
A chart in the report listed dozens of significant inaccuracies, omissions or assertions
報告用表哥的形式列舉了數(shù)十處嚴(yán)重不準(zhǔn)確、嚴(yán)重遺漏，

and claims about his 2016 interactions with Russians that came from the Steele dossier.
以及斯特爾檔案中有關(guān)他2016年與俄羅斯的往來的說法上。
Among the problems: The F.B.I. never told the Justice Department,
調(diào)查存在的問題之一便是聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局沒有告訴司法部，
which thus never told the court that granted permission for the wiretaps,
司法部因而也未能告訴授予聯(lián)邦調(diào)查局監(jiān)聽許可的外國情報監(jiān)視法庭
that Mr. Page had for years been providing information to the C.I.A. about his prior contacts with Russian officials —

had specifically asked about any relationship with the C.I.A.
