When considering who were the FBI contractors, with special program access to the NSA database, conducting unauthorized searches and extracting results ... there's a specific type of contractor described by FISA Judge Rosemary Collyer. One who was able to work around the security protocols: [Page 21] "systems ... that do not interface with NSA's query audit system." ...
In 2018 congressman Jim Jordan made mention of an issue where James Comey had a special employee on assignment "off-the-books." People started asking questions and Fox News Catherine Herridge detailed how Daniel Richman held special access privileges to the FBI, as an outcome of former FBI Director James Comey authorizing his friend as a "Special Government Employee" or SGE.
The professor, Daniel Richman, confirmed the special status in response to an inquiry from Fox News, while referring other questions, including on the scope of his work, to the FBI.
"I did indeed have SGE status with the Bureau (for no pay)," Richman wrote in an email.
Richman emerged last year as the former FBI director's contact for leaking memos documenting his private discussions with President Trump - memos that are now the subject of an inspector general review over the presence of classified material. Sources familiar with Richman's status at the FBI told Fox News that he was assigned to "special projects" by Comey, and had a security clearance as well as badge access to the building. Richman's status was the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding.
Wait, let's look at something here.
From the article the benefits included: "Sources familiar with Richman's status at the FBI told Fox News that he was assigned to "special projects" by Comey, and had a security clearance as well as badge access to the building. Richman's status was the subject of a Memorandum of Understanding."
A few paragraphs later, this: Richman's portfolio included the use of encrypted communications by terror suspects."
Oh my. Well, well, well ... You see what's being described here. There's only one way to gain access to "encrypted communications" and that means having access to the FBI and NSA database. ...
