Recommendation
The Cash/Berry case suggests there may be value in providing a degree of top-level support to the Deputy National Security Advisers (DNSAs), particularly if they face significant public exposure. We suggest the Government uses the case conference recommended in paragraph 75 as a waypoint to sense check who—aside from the Government’s bound witness—should provide top-level grip. (Conclusion, Paragraph 134)
