\nTrisha Anderson<\/a>\u00a0went back to work at Covington & Burling in 2018<\/p>\n

On Friday\u00a0Redstate<\/a>\u00a0posted explosive segments from FBI Attorney Trisha Anderson\u2019s testimony. The information first appeared in the\u00a0Washington Examiner<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In her testimony, she alleges that the application process for the FISA warrant was handled in an \u201cunusual\u201d fashion and that numerous Obama era FBI officials were\u00a0involved at the highest levels<\/a>\u00a0in pushing it through.<\/p>\n

But Anderson stressed\u00a0\u201cin this particular case, I\u2019m drawing a distinction because my boss and my boss\u2019 boss had already reviewed and approved this application.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0She emphasized \u201cthis one was handled a little bit differently in that sense, in that it received very high-level review and approvals \u2014 informal, oral approvals \u2014 before it ever came to me for signature.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Normally, a FISA application would go to the legal department first to confirm that it is indeed proper to press forward with. In this case, top officials informally \u201capproved\u201d the application first, signaling to Anderson that her signature was just perfunctory.<\/p>\n

Anderson said that FISA approvals are typically\u00a0\u201ctracked in a linear fashion\u201d and that someone in the Senior Executive Service \u201cis the final approver on hard copy before a FISA goes to the director or deputy director for signature.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0She said the Page FISA was approved outside regular procedures.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause there were very high-level discussions that occurred about the FISA,\u201d Anderson said she believed that meant\u00a0\u201cthe FISA essentially had already been well-vetted all the way up through at least the Deputy Director [McCabe] level on our side and through the DAG [Yates] on the DOJ side.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0Yates had already signed the application by the time it made it to Anderson\u2019s desk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2026 Anderson stressed that McCabe, Yates, and Baker all played key roles in reviewing the Page FISA. \u201cMy approval at that point was really purely administrative in nature. In other words, the substantive issues \u2014 the FISA had already substantively been approved by people much higher than me in the chain of command,\u201d Anderson said.<\/p>\n

Anderson said it \u201ctypically would not have been the case\u201d that people such as McCabe and Yates would sign off on a FISA application before she did.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This testimony by FBI Attorney Trisha Anderson ought to keep several corrupt Obama officials up at night.
\nThey may want to lawyer up.<\/strong><\/p>\n
