re: Fair take: this does not 100% cast the investigation in a bad light, only key parts

It shouldn't.
I disagree. The whole foundation of the investigation was a political campaign opposition research report.

Not really.
Page was previously recruited by the SVR, and he has sketchy ties and activities.
Thus, from a non-legal perspective, Page was someone most could agree warranted surveillance.
The problem is that Page probably hadn't done much around the time of exiting the Trump campaign to be surveilled. So the FBI used a fake dossier as the basis of obtaining surveillance.
But, that wasn't the basis for Mueller's investigation.
So far, it's akin to a judge knowing a perp is a criminal but using falsified evidence to convict him on some other charge. And that's bad, obviously. But it probably won't be 1) morally outrageous to most people and 2) doesn't invalidate the Mueller probe.
