"NSA Whistleblower Backs Trump Up on Wiretap Claims"
...
"Binney seemed to go further than the assessment of former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, a George W. Bush administration official, who offered a tacit defense of Trump to ABC on Sunday.
"This is the difference between being correct and right," Mukasey said. "The president was not correct in saying President Obama ordered a tap on a server in Trump Tower. However, I think he's right in that there was surveillance and that it was conducted at the behest of the attorney general – at the Justice Department through the FISA court."
But Binney (said on) Monday, "I think the FISA court's basically totally irrelevant."
The judges on the FISA court are "not even concerned, nor are they involved in any way with the Executive Order 12333 collection," Binney said during the radio interview. "That's all done outside of the courts. And outside of the Congress."

As I understand it the Attorney General must sign all FISA requests. It is coincidental that the second FISA request was approved after the first one was rejected occurred AFTER the meeting between Lynch and Bill Clinton. You can all draw your own conclusions. But something does not seem quite kosher here.
