The FISA court that ostensibly turned down and then approved this pre election surveillance was reportedly comprised of three Clinton appointees. Does a federal grand jury have standing and authority to force that FISA court to produce the requests and submitted evidence on which it made its rulings ?

I would think Congress, which can impeach a president or a judge, certainly must.

I would think the article 3 court system would resolutely oppose any such power to review the data or the reasoning of the FISA court. The Congress certainly has the power of impeachment but it does not, in my view at least, have the power of review or even of investigation of the coequal branch of government.

I stand educated on this, though.
