Haven't we heard that something on the order of a dozen were rejected over three decades?

And this gets rejected twice!!??

Finally granted... three weeks before the election... and where does it stand now?

From the story:

"The CIA, FBI, Justice and Treasury all refused to comment when I approached them after hearing about the Fisa warrant.

It is not clear what will happen to the inter-agency investigation under President Trump - or even if the taskforce is continuing its work now."
