The separation of pow sers at the core of the fundamental premisele of our constitutional design that a limited government, divided in three branches, exercises enumerated powers is necessary to protect individual liberty and the rule of law. Unfortunately, over the last several decades, congress has aloud its powers to gradually be chipped away at by the other branches.

Counterintelligence office would bring an application to the designated special assistant with the appropriate security clearances for a last look and recommendation to the a. G. Before they went in for his review, and approval and submission to the court. I reviewed hundreds and hundreds of these. This is before there was a National Security division which added another layer of view to these very sensitive matters. I still dont talk about the specific warrant applications, their targets or the assets or information told us is why we wanted to keep an eye on this foreigner or rarely an american citizen, the standard is higher by the way for an american citizen, then in the old days a country we knew to be an enemy of the United States. But everything was very highly classified, sensitive, compartment aa compartmentalized information. Ive been on the side of caution. Would its disclosure do anything to compromise National Security .
