Revelations continue to emerge from close scrutiny of the Horowitz Report. Consider that the Obama administration was able to collect and analyze past, current and future communications of the FISA target. Additionally, under the two hop rule they could also collect and analyze the communications of those with whom the target communicated and with those who those persons communicated. Significantly, Obama's executive order expanding the number of agencies the intelligence yield could be shared with guaranteed an increased opportunity for strategic leaking. From the article:

"The IG report also did more than confirm the Crossfire Hurricane team accessed some Trump campaign communications: It established that accessing Page’s communications with the Trump campaign was the goal of the FISA order.
For instance, a case agent working the Crossfire Hurricane investigation explained to the IG’s team that because Page had just “returned from his trip to Russia” before the Republicans’ national convention, the FBI’s “belief was that Page was involved in the platform change [concerning Ukraine] and the team was hoping to find evidence of that in their review of the FISA collections of Page’s email accounts.”

Note the Ukraine connotation, as well as Russia. There's more here:
