My understanding is that the FISA judges rotate "in" whenever there is a case or something to review.

They don't sit around like SCOTUS and review shite and form opinions together.

So, all it would take is one judge to review the FISA application and approve it. And for the renewals, just wait to submit when you know your judge is next up. Like what people do in every other court.

I'll see if I can find the source material about the one judge at a time, I read it the other day.

ETA: I really have no idea how FISA courts work. Maybe someone with knowledge outside of a fake news website could chime in.

It appears there are only 3 judges in DC.

Does this mean the DOJ/FBI were going to different districts each time to get the warrant/renewal?

If nothing else, Trump is forcing Americans to learn about all kinds of shite government/justice related that nobody every talks about in everyday life.

Oh, I'm sure it's one judge at a time reviewing the applications. You could be right about waiting for "their" judge.

This was basically in response to the person who said 4 federal judges appointed by Reps approved the applications. I was pointing out that judges were appointed by RINO presidents.

Found this article when looking doing a search on FISA judges.

quote:
A FISA court judge has grounds to hold Department of Justice officials including Bruce Ohr in contempt of court for making misrepresentations about the sources of information used to obtain a surveillance warrant against a Trump associate, a former judge and Republican congressman said.

“I think it’s important to know who the FISA judge was, and why with all the info he’s had for some time, he has not put anyone in jail for committing fraud on his court,” Louie Gohmert, a Texas Republican who serves on the Committee on the Judiciary, told The Daily Caller News Foundation Friday.

“You shouldn’t be able to get quotes from Bruce Ohr or [former FBI Director Jim] Comey or [deputy director Andrew] McCabe because they ought to be sitting in jail for committing fraud upon the court,” he said.

Well, there is also a VA judge in addition to the three in DC. Two of the three in DC were appointed by BHO with the third being appointed to the bench by GWB. The one in VA was put on the bench by WJC.

I don't know where the poster got that four Rep judges signed the warrants.

ETA: As for your article, I have no idea why these people haven't been brought up on Contempt Charges by the FISA court. This is all just mind blowing.
