This judge is just doing some CYA, but it is too little; all FISA warrants should be reviewed, and it should have been done years ago when Nunez published his memo that proved 100% accurate about how FISA warrants were being abused.
There is no such thing as reforming current FISA law to protect Americans right to privacy when such fascists are running the whole kit and kaboodle.
FISA Orders Review of Warrant Applications by Ex-FBI Lawyer Clinesmith
Horowitz found that the FBI completely ignored the FISA condition that it be informed of any changes to the documents used to obtain approval to the spy on Page.
According to the Horowitz IG report, Comey as FBI director said that he did not always fully review FISA applications before certifying them, reading only the description at times.
The former FBI director had reservations about signing the Carter Page FISA request based on a source the federal government knew was connected to the opposite political side and whose information “had not yet been corroborated.”
Comey said that the reason he signed the FISA was that he believed in “probable cause” that “Page was an agent for a foreign power.”

This is it in a nutshell. If you were a cop in the middle of an investigation and could smell the crook from a mile away, you too would do your best to continue surveillance.
The Russian interference in our election was far more than foreign officials voicing their opinion on which candidate they liked. It was a concerted,
hidden effort to change the minds of American voters. And the hacks and giving them to wikileaks were just plain criminal. If Americans were working with our historic adversary Russia to accomplish this, don't you think we ought to know who?
That is all that was behind it. Comey said at some point that they were worried those sneaky Russians were "playing" Trump's campaign without them even being aware. Ol' Putin, being KGB, is a master at that.
No witch hunt. No wish to get rid of Trump because he was a Republican. The investigation by the FBI and then the Mueller team was for the simple purpose of getting the evidence and hopefully preventing it from happening again.
