It's disingenuous to describe FISA as "expiring next year", without mentioning that Congress is very likely to immediately reauthorize it in some form.

They do state that in the article. Perhaps the writer hopes that due to articles like this it may not be.

I almost wish Clinton gives Feinstein a cabinet position by then. In 2012 she almost single-handedly pushed the FISA Amendments Act reauthorization on the Senate floor (with some behind the scenes push from Obama as well).

But I fear it wouldn't make a difference, and she'd keep pushing for it from whatever high position she would be given as well.

Why would Trump let Clinton place Feinstein on his cabinet?
