"Anonymous tips don't remain anonymous in court."

Evidence can and is withheld from defense using mechanisms like States Secrets.

State secrets is a mechanism to exclude evidence, not introduce it.

That's why I said withheld, yes.

So how do state secrets privileges introduce anonymous evidence? Maybe at this point it would be helpful for us to have a specific case to refer to. Could you point us to one?

"So how do state secrets privileges introduce anonymous evidence?"

By allowing anonymous evidence to be introduced, obviously.
