Contreras is almost certainly the “pliable” FISC judge. He was put on after the FISC thumbs-downed the first FISA app. Smooth sailing after he was appointed. btw, appointed by that other notoriously pliable judge, John Roberts.

He wasn't one of the FISC judges. All 4 judges were Republican appointees.
