Thomas Tamm was a well-regarded Justice Department attorney in the Capital Cases Unit who transferred to the Office of Intelligence Policy and Review in the Justice Department in 2003. He became aware of a program that bypassed the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court in an arrangement where only the Attorney General would sign certain wiretap requests, without review by the 11-member court. As a result, The New York Times ran an explosive Pulitzer Prize-winning cover story about the Bush administration’s warrantless wiretapping program in 2005.
