Page iv Paragraph 4
Insinuates there was consensual consent for monitoring.
Following is direct quote from report:
Additionally, we found that under
FBI policy, the use of a CHS to conduct consensual
monitoring is a matter of investigative j udgment that,
absent certain circumstances, ca n be authorized by a
first-line supervisor (an SSA). We determined that the
CHS operations conducted during Crossfire Hurricane
received the necessary FBI approvals and t hat, while
AD Priestap knew about and approved of all of the
operations, review beyond a first-level FBI supervisor
was not requ ired by Department or FBI policy.
