At the October 4, 2016 Hearing, the government represented that it was investigating whether there have been similar cases in which the FBI improperly afforded non-FBI personnel access to raw FISA-acquired information on FBI systems.
The government was unable to determine how many times non-FBI personnel had full access to raw FISA data. Importantly, it was the FBI who improperly afforded the access.
It’s been suspected that Fusion GPS might be one of these contractors. Crowdstrike another.
Crowdstrike fits particularly well. Although heavily redacted, the FISA Court Ruling describes the following:
[Redacted] contractors had access to raw FISA information on FBI storage systems.
The apparent purpose for the FBI’s granting such access was to receive analytical assistance from [redacted].
[Redacted] contractors had access to raw FISA information that went well beyond what was necessary to respond to the FBI’s requests.
[Redacted] may receive raw information acquired under Section 702 in order to provide technical or linguistic assistance to the FBI, but only if certain restrictions are followed.
The FISA Court Ruling appears to be describing IT Specialists – like Crowdstrike.
And Crowdstrike has some striking connections to the FBI – particularly through Steven Chabinsky and Shawn Henry.
