Ok, I'm stuck on the part - in the first sentence - that says the FBI may have "improperly coordinated" with DOJ on a FISA application. The FBI is required by statute to coordinate with DOJ on FISA applications.

Also, it's not clear to me why an FBI agent complaining about a delay indicates that anything was being rushed. Complaining about DOJ delays in getting surveillance orders - even routine Title III's - is a thing basically every federal agent does.

Also, it's not clear why rushing would be improper, as long as the application they submitted to the court was sufficient. FISA has many rules, but there's none about how quickly or slowly the gov't must move in preparing an application.

The clarification makes even less sense. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia cannot issue FISA orders. By law, those applications *must* go to a judge on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. 50 U.S.C. § 1804(a).pic.twitter.com/euQVmYjKS2

Further clarification suggests that the congressional investigator who's investigating FISA didn't know a fairly basic thing about how FISA works.pic.twitter.com/z16I1D08X9

*raises hand at back of classroom* ...what if "EDVA" refers to the US Attorney's Office and not the District Court?

Eh, the original reportage/insinuation was bad. It is still pretty funny.

Zoe TillmanVerified account @ZoeTillmanThis story quotes a Peter Strozk text as saying he was told "EDVA is/was the delay" on a Carter Page warrant. The text isn't public, but a DOJ spox told us the text is not related to the special counsel probe (or Hillary/either campaign/the election) https://saraacarter.com/bombshell-secret-texts-show-fbi-doj-may-have-rushed-anti-trump-fisa-warrant/ …Show this thread2 replies 1 retweet 2 likes -

Yes, but had seen it, and it does not mean that EDVA was the filing locus of a FISA app. They come from all kinds of base places.
