The FISA judges are on a rotational basis. It is fairly easy to judge shop, and the FBI knows which are easier than others, to ensure they submit their warrant on the week their preferred judges are there.
There have been over 33,000 FISA warrants accepted. There have only been 12 turned down. Do you listen to yourself?
I do and you're lamely supporting your previous assertion by covering the entire existence of FISA since 1978, when this particular instance occurred within a few months of each other. The FISA panel rotates weekly, about every 12 weeks or so, they take their turns. Given the timeframe, its unlikely they had the same judge.
The panel of judges serves for 7 years, selected by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, not the current administration. When Roberts assumed the position, he was not particularly enamored with the FISA program. You can reasonably assume his selection process reflects his thinking, since people generally select things based on their own values and opinions.
None of this changes the fact Nunes went from the judge was never notified about the political nature on the application, OK maybe there was a footnote on the app about the political nature, but that's different from saying the Clinton campaign paid for it.
He had one job - be credible when the information came out. On at least one thing, he's not. You would not accept this from the opposition. If/When the Dem memo comes out, it's going to have it's own shortcomings. If it has one thing wrong, you have to question the rest of it and its messenger. Credibility is a two way street, like it, or not.
