The FBI did not advise the FISC that Page had been for many years an “operational contact” of the CIA.
The FBI did not advise the FISC that CHS Steele had been paid by the Democrat party and/or the Clinton campaign to provide opposition research on Donald Trump.
The FBI did not advise the FISC that Steele’s source (“Primary Sub-source") of information against Dr. Page had himself been investigated for attempting to recruit Americans to help spy for Russia.
The FBI did not advise the FISC that Steele’s Primary Sub-source contradicted critical information that Steele attributed to him.
Instead, the FBI represented to the FISC that the Primary Sub-source was “credible,” without disclosing to the FISC that what the Primary Sub-Source had “credibly” reported to the FBI was that the information Steele attributed to him was inaccurate and misleading.
Ultimately an FBI attorney altered an email from the CIA in order to falsely deny that Dr. Page had been a CIA source serving for many years as an operational contact.
In reality, there was no “probable cause” to support surveillance of Dr. Page. If FBI procedures had been followed and an honest and thorough investigation conducted, and if the FBI had fully and accurately reported what it knew, the FISA warrants against Dr. Page would neither have been sought nor issued.
The individual Defendants fabricated or intentionally disregarded critical evidence, and misled the FISC, in order to obtain the FISA warrants. This case is about holding accountable the entities and individuals who are responsible for the most egregious violation and abuse of the FISA statute since it was enacted over forty years ago
If by fireworks, you mean the entire corrupt FBI, DOJ, and every other intelligence agency circle jerking on a picture of Karl Marx while dedicating on the constitution, then yes, the fireworks will ensue. The federal government is not going to purge itself anytime soon, so don't get excited.
All we need is a spotlight and enough people to say "WE'VE HAD ENOUGH". Right now, this lawsuit is another BIG spotlight on the deep state and its grip on our system.

So in other words, what will the end result likely be?
Only time can tell, my friend.
As far as I am concerned, it doesn't pass the "sniff" test, but god only knows what judges will think.
This should be the top comment.
Great summary, now let's watch the fireworks!
