Maybe things have changed over the past 30 years, but when I needed a search warrant I prepared an affidavit and appeared before a magistrate who reviewed it and issued it if it was needed.
BTW, the FBI agent could go before a state magistrate too if the matter involved a state crime too, like child abuse.
Lastly, there is also FISA court.
The point is I guess in a political matter, the FBI has some kind of obstruction rules that give the review power to the DOJ. That is why they need and have needed a special prosecutor on this matter and specifically why the DOJ, Obama, and the rest of the dem hacks were 100% against that.

wikileaks meets O’Keefe
Neera Tanden, Podesta & Mike Lux discuss how to use Bob Creamer!

Just wanted to pass along this note I sent to Bob Creamer, who as you may know is consulting for the DNC and is close to Robby Mook. Wanted to pass it along to you as well, hoping you won’t take offense because I feel some urgency about this. You and Podesta are a great bridge to the DC, more establishment oriented progressive world, but I just feel like the campaign is making a mistake not doing stronger outreach to grassroots/netroots progressives. And while I don’t think it will cause them to lost the primary, I do worry it makes everything tougher in that process, and it makes bringing everyone in (and getting them excited) after Bernie loses that much harder. permalink
