We need to know the names of the judges, and/or, they shoud be interviewed by the congressional investigators.

Not only was it renewed 4 times but Strzok confirmed it went before 4 different judges; which is a strong indication of "judge shopping"
FISA judges are never divulged by Law.
The way to bring actual transparency to this process it to examine the relevant Top Secret Fisa court documents. Those documents demonstrate that this entire process is a fig leaf, "oversight" in name only. It offers no real safeguards. That's because no court monitors what the NSA is actually doing when it claims to comply with the court-approved procedures. Once the Fisa court puts its approval stamp on the NSA's procedures, there is no external judicial check on which targets end up being selected by the NSA analysts for eavesdropping.
The only oversight for monitoring whether there is abuse comes from the executive branch itself: from the DOJ and Director of National Intelligence, which conduct "periodic reviews … to evaluate the implementation of the procedure." At a hearing before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday afternoon, deputy attorney general James Cole testified that every 30 days, the Fisa court is merely given an "aggregate number" of database searches on US domestic phone records.

I can't say what I saw in Rain Johnson's tweets here. Not that I want to. Nasty, wicked stuff.
I'm an "anything goes" kinda guy when it comes to jokes, but I have to step away I hear and read stuff like that. There is at least a kernel of truth in almost every joke.

3 new Q drops for today...
Q
President-elect Donald Trump has promised many times that he will make sure that Hillary Clinton pays for what she’s done and for the harm her crimes have done to this country. However, we’re still waiting for the justice to get to her, and it appears that Trump also waits to get into office and then start taking actions to take criminals down. However, WikiLeaks aren’t patient anymore. Julian Assange wrote in a letter: “Hillary Clinton’s crimes will not go unpunished. If she is not formally charged for mishandling sensitive material we will have no choice but to release proof that she is guilty of high treason against the United States for selling patented military secrets to the Saudi Arabian government. We also have proof that she is guilty of crimes against Russia,
Uzbekistan, Lithuania, Caledonia and Brazil. The United States would be doing her a favor by putting her in prison and saving her from the severe punishments several of these nations would impose.” So, this means that Hillary’s imprisonment is imminent, and there will be no way for her to get out of this and escape justice, after all the terrible crimes she’s committed. WikiLeaks have given Trump a deadline – he has until October 21st to indict traitor Hillary Clinton. If that doesn’t happen till then, they will release undeniable information which will prove her guilt.
We all know that Julian Assange is not someone who is biting off more than he can chew, so there is no doubt that he owns information that will destroy Hillary! So, she is practically doomed, whichever way she turns.
American news anchor Matt Lauer says he's being picked on because of "difficult times" he's been through as he defends himself during a stoush over land he's bought in New Zealand.
The former Today Show host - who was fired by NBC in November over allegations of sexual misconduct - bought a 6500ha high-country station in New Zealand's South Island last year.

I just think the tape was planned. Still.
What is the QAnon conspiracy and why is it resurfacing?
An absurd conspiracy theory is creeping out into the real world, along with the threat of violence.
