Roberts unilaterally appoints the FISA judges.
He recused one judge, Rudolph Contreras, from making decisions on FISA applications specifically related to spying on the Trump campaign after s**t initially hit the fan. But he has done nothing to hold FBI and DOJ attorneys who lied to the court and submitted false documents accountable. He has also done nothing notable to assure FISC judges actually read FISA apps and know what they are approving. In less "special" courts attorneys who lied so egregiously to a judge would be jailed for contempt, fined and referred for disbarment or other disciplinary action. But when it comes to partisan, illegal spying on Trump, Roberts and FISC take no action at all, except a "shame on you" letter to the FBI 3 years after the exposure of FBI/DOJ wrongful conduct.
Most recently Roberts has allowed FISC to appoint David Kris, a vocal defender of FBI spying on Trump, to oversee "reforms". Shame on them, especially Roberts.
Roberts is an enigma as to why he so inert about obvious wrongdoing and partisan judicial behavior.
