The Significance of the January 12 Reauthorization of Carter Page's FISA Order https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/02/25/the-significance-of-the-january-12-reauthorization-of-carter-pages-fisa-order/ …

i'll humbly submit that another reason for the early january reapplication may have been to ensure it went through prior to trump's inauguration, i.e. to have enough leeway for resubmission in case of an initial rejection from the court.
Didn't I allude to that? It was in my brain, in any case, so if you found it there get out. Yeah, definitely. Obtaining order on 12 Jan rather than 19 Jan makes sure there's no room for error.

Now do you have a good explanation for the even earlier June one?
-
i guess whether the june reapplication / reauthorization was even earlier hinges on when the april reauth occurred, which we don't know. if that reauth happened very early in april, june 29 would be close to the regular 90 days after.
-
in other words: the april reauth might actually be more interesting timing-wise than the june reauth. i don't think we can tell.
-
Agree. Might be a response to Trump's pressures on Comey.

if you did allude to it in the piece, it was too subtle for me.
-
I realize I didn't. It was in my head, and now it has been stolen. Damnit. I need a firewall.
-
"stolen"
-
Must have been. I think someone leaked it to Assange. Yup. That's what happened.
-
just update the piece, nobody will notice and i won't tell anyone either.
-
Shhhh. Assange stuck it back there in the post where it always was.
