It used to be exceedingly rare. For instance, there wasn't a *single* grant of such expedited review b/w August 2004 & February 2019.
This is the *23rd* such grant since then.

"Schraderβs resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons"
Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorneyβs Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division
Bondi DOJ has a problem.

On right:
DHS Referral Report: "Subject stated he was driving 'three days ago' (11/27/2022) from Houston, TX to Temple Hills, MD (via St Louis, MO)"
