how's that? Guy at FBI says--let's get a tap. DOJ says, what's your basis? FBI says, screw it, I'm calling Harriet Miers's assistant. Assistant WHC hits macro for the papers and short cover memo, gets on GWB's desk and off it within the day. Meanwhile the DOJ staffer is calling back saying give me another few hours to put together the application, and the FBI says "no need, it's tapped already".

Except for that 72-hour FISA grace period to get the warrant, this makes perfect sense.
And what's your basis for your scenario how these get put together? I'm thinking that - what, 15,000? - FISA requests is more compelling rationale for a macro than 30 memos to bush.
