Minor pt. but Comey refused to reauthorize the warrantless eavesdropping program but wasn't he read in well before and did nothing?
@adamgoldmanap He bought off on 5/10/5 Technique memo (tho tried to make it apply to 1 person retroactively) but not Combined and CAT memos.

@emptywheel so that woman can't be top spy at CIA because she was involved in EIT program but Comey can run FBI after oking waterboarding? -
@adamgoldmanap She did FAR more than Comey (as Brennan surely did too). Compare COmey emails to her trying to destroy tapes. -
@emptywheel just saying mueller cudnt let FBI be involved in eits b/c he was worried about FBI brand but comey signed off on worst EIT -
@adamgoldmanap Besides, I suspect general understanding on Mueller on BOTH EITs and FISA are overly complimentary. -
@emptywheel we don't even know if mueller was opposed to EITs because he thought they were morally wrong or because they wud harm FBI rep? -
@adamgoldmanap Or bc Soufan was already on the record calling them torture.

@emptywheel@adamgoldmanap Um, Comey also accepted Levin's 12/30/04 interrogation memo, the one David Cole incl in The Torture Memos. -
@jeff_kaye Note 5/10/05 memo ALSO authorized 7.5 days of sleep deprivation.@adamgoldmanap -
@emptywheel@adamgoldmanap Yes, how did Bradbury get away with that (re OPR)? I haven't looked as deeply as you, but gut response anti-Comey -
@jeff_kaye Bradbury got Mukasey to buy off on what he did, thereby putting it largely beyond review.@adamgoldmanap
