On approving the Carter Page FISA warrant applications:
- GRAHAM: “Knowing then what you know now, would you have signed that [Carter Page FISA warrant] application?”
- YATES: “…I wouldn’t have signed anything that I knew to contain errors or omissions…”
- GRAHAM: “…I believe you didn’t know. I believe you didn’t know that what you signed was wrong. The question is if you had known, you wouldn’t have signed it. Is that correct?”
- YATES: “No, if I had known that it contained incorrect information, I certainly wouldn’t have signed it.” https://youtu.be/nOGfgiUhhSs?t=66
