I. Kenneth Wainstein Nominated to Lead DHS Intelligence and Analysis
He was the first Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Department of Justice and Homeland Security Advisor to President George W. Bush.
By
Homeland Security Today
November 6, 2021
President Biden announced Friday that he will nominate Kenneth L. Wainstein to be Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security.
Wainstein is a litigation partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Davis Polk & Wardwell. During his time in private practice, Wainstein also served as a law school adjunct professor teaching national security law for twelve years, as a commissioner on the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense, as a member of the Public Interest Declassification Board, and in a number of other national security organizations.
“President Biden has nominated a dedicated public servant, Kenneth L. Wainstein, to lead DHS’s Office of Intelligence and Analysis. Ken has decades of government experience at the highest levels,” DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said. “His deep expertise in national security, counterterrorism, and intelligence matters will benefit our Department and our Nation if he is confirmed. I urge the Senate to swiftly confirm Ken to this critical leadership role.”
Wainstein previously spent over 20 years in a number of law enforcement and national security positions in the federal government. Between 1989 and 2001, Wainstein served as a federal prosecutor in both the Southern District of New York and the District of Columbia, where he handled criminal prosecutions ranging from public corruption to violent gang cases and held a variety of supervisory positions, including Acting United States Attorney. In 2001, he was appointed Director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys where he provided oversight and support to the 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. Between 2002 and 2004, Wainstein served as General Counsel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and then as Chief of Staff to Director Robert S. Mueller, III.
Wainstein was then nominated and confirmed as United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, where he led the largest U.S. Attorney’s Office in the country, and in 2006 he was again confirmed as the first Assistant Attorney General for National Security at the Department of Justice. In that position, Wainstein established and led the new National Security Division, which consolidated the Justice Department’s law enforcement and intelligence operations on all national security matters.
In 2008, Wainstein was named Homeland Security Advisor by President George W. Bush. In that capacity, he advised the President, convened and chaired meetings of the Cabinet Officers on the Homeland Security Council, and oversaw the inter-agency process coordinating the nation’s counterterrorism, homeland security, infrastructure protection, and disaster response and recovery efforts.
Wainstein graduated from the University of Virginia and received his law degree from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He lives in Northern Virginia with his wife and their four daughters.

Previously, Wainstein had served as a partner in Davis Polk & Wardwell Litigation Department, where he focused his practice on corporate internal investigations and civil and criminal enforcement proceedings. Wainstein spent over 20 years in a variety of law enforcement and national security positions in the government. Between 1989 and 2001, Wainstein served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in both the Southern District of New York and the District of Columbia, where he handled criminal prosecutions ranging from public corruption to gang prosecution cases and held a variety of supervisory positions, including Acting United States Attorney. In 2001, he was appointed Director of the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, where he provided oversight and support to the 94 U.S. Attorneys’ Offices. Between 2002 and 2004, Wainstein served as General Counsel of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and then as Chief of Staff to Director Robert S. Mueller III.

III. letter to the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee this past January
January 28, 2022
Chairman Gary Peters
U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Governmental Affairs
340 Dirksen Senate Office Building
Washington, DC, 20510
Dear Chairman Peters and Members of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee,
The undersigned civil rights and immigrants’ rights organizations write to express our concerns regarding the nomination of Mr. Kenneth Wainstein for the position of Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis at the Department of Homeland Security. We believe Mr. Wainstein’s past history and previous roles in key government positions raise serious questions about his ability to serve as a leader at an agency that requires thoughtful change, not a repetition of past mistakes.
As part of the Bush administration, Mr. Wainstein served as FBI General Counsel and Chief of Staff to the FBI Director, during which time the administration and the FBI engaged in failed policies that singled out Americans and immigrants, particularly of Muslim, Arab, and South Asian backgrounds, as part of the government’s post 9/11 dragnet investigations. This included questioning and detaining thousands of immigrants and others as the government hurriedly attempted to establish links between those inside the country and the 9/11 attackers. As a GAO report noted in 2003, however, these individuals were mostly questioned because of their shared ethnicity or religious identity with the 9/11 attackers, with nothing else connecting them otherwise, and the interviews and detentions did not lead to a single terrorism-related conviction. Mr. Wainstein also helped lead the FBI while the government implemented one of the most widely recognized failed policies in the aftermath of 9/11: the National Security Entry-Exit Registration System (NSEERS). NSEERS required the registration of nationals of 25 countries, 24 of which were majority-Muslim. Under NSEERS, the federal government marked 80,000 foreign nationals for fingerprinting, photographing and special registration. In 2016, however, DHS determined that NSEERS
was “redundant, inefficient and provided no increase in security” as it hastily worked to dismantle the program.
Our concerns with Mr. Wainstein’s past roles in perpetuating discriminatory federal policies were further compounded when we witnessed Mr. Wainstein provide less than satisfactory answers to questions at his January 12 hearing before the Senate Intelligence Committee. In particular, Mr. Wainstein testified that section 215 of the PATRIOT Act, which was used to secretly collect Americans’ phone records, provided sufficient protections for civil liberties, when in fact that secret bulk collection violated the law, as multiple federal courts have held since, and gave the NSA warrantless access to some of Americans’ most sensitive information for years. Mr. Wainstein also authored a November 2007 memo regarding the NSA’s mass collection in which he “assumed” that the NSA mass collected the telephony metadata of Americans legally and made a brief, cursory attempt to discuss FISA implications (dismissing any concerns on the basis that “the data that the NSA wishes to analyze already exists in its database”). Additionally, Mr. Wainstein would not definitively say that he would not permit the collection of dossiers of Americans, including journalists, a deeply disturbing exercise engaged in during the 2020 protests in Portland, Oregon by the office he has been nominated to lead.
Agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and its core offices such as the Office of Intelligence and Analysis are at a critical juncture after over two decades of questionable policies and practices that have harmed the American public and eroded their civil rights and civil liberties. Mr. Wainstein’s past history raises a number of questions for the undersigned groups. Mr. Wainstein must be questioned regarding his previous roles in government while the aforementioned failed policies were being devised and implemented, particularly as he served in multiple leadership roles at the FBI, DOJ, and White House, roles presumably important enough to indicate that he was at least aware of, and had discussions regarding, these policies.
As the Biden administration has made clear, the Undersecretary for Intelligence and Analysis is expected to focus on threats like domestic terrorism, particularly white supremacy. Protecting vulnerable communities targeted by such violence requires a leader with an unblemished record as to the civil rights of those communities. We have serious reservations as to whether Mr. Wainstein is that leader.
We ask that you a hold a hearing on this nomination and, among other critical questions, we request that the Committee ask Mr. Wainstein about the following:
● Did Mr. Wainstein have any role or involvement in developing or executing the NSEERS program, or was he asked to provide any legal or policy opinions or conclusions about the program?
● What is Mr. Wainstein’s opinion regarding the propriety of the questioning of thousands of Americans and immigrants following the 9/11 attacks based on little more than the interviewees’ ethnic or religious affinity with the 9/11 attackers?
● Did Mr. Wainstein have any role in dragnet surveillance operations conducted by the FBI and focused on Muslim communities in America during his time in government (such as those that are now the subject of litigation before the U.S. Supreme Court in FBI v. Fazaga)?
● What are Mr. Wainstein’s opinions regarding the scope of authority, and the extent to which that authority runs, that federal agencies have to conduct metadata analysis of information and datasets containing US persons’ information, the subject of a 2007 memo authored by Mr. Wainstein while he was at the Department of Justice?
● When Mr. Wainstein learned about the NSA’s Stellar Wind Program, did he have any concerns? If so, how did he communicate them, to whom, and how did they impact any work he had before the FISA Courts?
● In his response to Intelligence Committee members, Mr. Wainstein stated that he believed Operational Background Reports were appropriate when they are “based on a reasonable nexus to one or more of I&A’s defined collection categories”. What does he mean by this? Does he believe that there should be a stricter standard when compiling intelligence on U.S. persons?
● Mr. Wainstein indicated that he had “concerns about the techniques” used by the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program, and that he participated in discussions which resulted in FBI personnel not participating in interviews of detainees who were subjected to those techniques. What level of participation did FBI personnel have prior to this decision by Director Mueller?
● Did Mr. Wainstein ever read the relevant Office of Legal Counsel opinions regarding the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program? He has previously indicated that he “[does] not recall” reading such opinions, but as an Assistant Attorney General for National Security this would appear to fall squarely within his purview.
● With regards to public reports that FBI personnel were “detailed” to the CIA in order to participate in such interrogations, what role did Mr. Wainstein play in detailing agents for this purpose?
● What role does Mr. Wainstein believe the Chief Intelligence Officer for the Department of Homeland Security plays with regards to declassification reform? What changes would he recommend be instituted to ensure that community outcry, legal challenges, and Inspector General investigations are not required for violations of civil rights to come to light?
Thank you for your time and consideration, and we look forward to engaging with you regarding this impactful nomination.

Career
Wainstein worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, as General Counsel and as Chief of Staff to the FBI Director.[1] He was United States Attorney for the District of Columbia.[1]
On September 26, 2006, he was sworn in as the Department of Justice’s Assistant Attorney General responsible for National Security.[4]

In 2020, Wainstein, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term, and “To that end, we are firmly convinced that it is in the best interest of our nation that Vice President Joe Biden be elected as the next President of the United States, and we will vote for him.”[7]
In October 2020, Wainstein signed a letter, along with 19 other Republican-appointed former U.S. Attorneys, calling President Donald Trump “a threat to the rule of law in our country” and endorsing Joe Biden.[8]
On November 5, 2021, President Joseph Biden nominated Wainstein for the position of Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Intelligence and Analysis.
