How do FISA applications get approved?
FISA warrant investigations can’t be opened “solely on the basis of First Amendment activities." In other words, affiliation with questionable parties isn't enough to warrant a FISA case.
Evidence the FBI can use to support the claim that the U.S. target is knowingly working on behalf of a foreign entity can include information gathered from human sources, physical surveillance, bank transactions, or even documents found in the target’s trash.
Once evidence has been accumulated, the information must be outlined in an affidavit and application stating the grounds for the FISA warrant.
The completed FISA application goes through the FBI chain of command, before making its way to FBI Headquarters to receive approval and sign off by the Special Agent in charge of the field office before making it to the Justice Department where attorneys from the National Security Division vet the application to verify all the assertions made in it.
The FISC then reviews the application in secret, and decides whether to approve the warrant.
