==Lawfare Alliance==
==Lawfare Alliance==
The center of the Lawfare Alliance influence is the Department of Justice National Security Division, DOJ-NSD. It was the DOJ-NSD running the Main Justice side of the 2016 operations to support Operation Crossfire Hurricane and FBI agent [[Peter Strzok]]. It was also the DOJ-NSD where the sketchy legal theories around FARA violations (Sec. 901) originated.

The DOJ-NSD was purposefully under no IG oversight. In the Summer of 2015 as the [[2016 presidential election]] heated up, the OIG requested oversight and it was [[Sally Yates]] who denied the request.<ref>https://www.ignet.gov/sites/default/files/files/OLC%20IG%20Act%20Opinion%20-%207-20-15%20.pdf</ref> All of the DOJ is subject to oversight, except the NSD.
