You are not reading the import of the content in the statement that FOIA does not cover FISA.
The question you should be asking yourself is how did the OFFICIAL FISA documents get released if not by FOIA?
Therein lies the answer.

I said FOIA doesn't cover "classified information". I never said that FOIA doesn't cover FISA information. The documents were released by standard procedure FOIA.
A FOIA request was made for FISA docs. The DOJ redacted classified information from the FISA docs. The newly unclassified, redacted docs were then released.
Why do you think that this is not what happened?
