It's a weird court. Judges from the federal system are selected by CJ of SCOTUS, and serve a term of years on FISC, so there is constant membership rotation.
And then, there is only one or two at the court on any given day, because the members do their regular court duty 3 or 4 weeks, then a week at FISC, then back to the regular duty, etc.
The heavy lifting is taking care of formalities, which is the only thing the judges check. DOJ and FBI are given complete trust by FISC. All in secret, trust them to protect your privacy. Hahahahah.
Sure,. Trust a government that is unable to restrain itself and is unwilling to show itself. Great formula.
I really think one of the things that will happen after a lot this FISA stuff comes to light is a completely new system for anything FISA. What a screwed up system.

:: so there is constant membership rotation ::
That’s what I mean...did it work out (or get planned) that Rudy Contreras was in FISC as the 90-day renewal came up?
The other scenario could be that Rudy, being the originating FISC judge, was returned to (by buddy Strzok/Page?) for renewal? IOW, a simple phone call to Rudy for renewal (and RR was just provided the paperwork, post-renewal.) Or, a request at a backyard BBQ on the weekend?
