They could hide the identity of a confidential informant from defense counsel, but I believe the judge is entitled to verify the legitimacy of CIs and might do so if the defense claimed that the probable cause came from the NSA.&lt;p&gt;Local LEOs have already been caught phoning in &amp;quot;anonymous tips&amp;quot; to themselves&amp;#x2F;their teams to create probable cause for surveillance already conducted. This was before and unrelated to the NSA revelations.</text><parent_chain><item><author>btilly</author><text>The shoe I&amp;#x27;m still waiting for is whether the FBI is willing to use the sworn affidavit of foreign intelligence people with access to American intelligence as grounds for warrants issued under the 4th amendment.&lt;p&gt;In plain English, if another country tells us which Americans to go after, do we issue warrants and actually go after them?
