Here’s an important data point and possibly a tell of where this is going. On page 186-187 we learn that in Jan 2017 the FBI interview Chris Steele’s “primary source” for the Steele Dossier and this source stated that “he/she had not seen Steele’s reports until they became public that month and he/she made statements that indicated that Steele misstated or exaggerated the sources statements in multiple sections of his report”
The FBI knew that Steele was a bad witness in January of 2017. Not only did they not disclose this to the FISA court, they also opened a special counsel investigation into the Trump campaign. The goal of the special counsel investigation was to pin obstruction of justice on Trump. Remember that this report does not address all the additional activities of the FBI around this matter, only the opening of the investigation and the FISA court submissions. If this was the case and Durham can prove it, this is effectively trying to overthrow a duly elected president. Just my speculation.
