:*Mary McCord took over from former [[DOJ-NSD]] head [[John Carlin]] (October 2016); and it was McCord who guided the [[Carter Page]] FISA application through the court and across the finish-line (October 2016 and January 2017). That FISA application was built upon [[fraud]] and Mary McCord was at the center of it. Mary McCord was also the DOJ-NSD official who went with [[Sally Yates]] to confront the White House Counsel, Don McGhan, about the [[Michael Flynn]] interview with the FBI.

Michael Atkinson went from DOJ-NSD counsel to become the Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG). In that new role Atkinson changed the rules to allow an anonymous CIA whistleblower ([[Eric Ciaramella]] on behalf of [[Alexander Vindman]]) to file the complaint that led to [[Impeachment 1.0]].
