You missed the word in the bolded bit above, the word, illegally!
That's a major issue and hardly just a conspiracy. Abusing the FISA Courts to SPY, illegally!
The Memo was highlighting this issue mainly.

I'm not a lawyer and even if I was I wouldn't know the inner workings of FISA courts but according the the CBS link above it doesn't allege a federal crime. Maybe it's not illegal to omit things in warrant applications just bad behaviour?
All this is also if we're taking the Republicans at their word that the memo doesn't exclude anything. If, for example, the warrant contained other information then the circumstances might change.
