The FBI and Attorney General cannot act anyway without retribution from
Congress and the President. They'll all just be replaced until they're silent.
Well, one of the big deficiencies of the Constitution is that there's no Constitutionally mandated penalty for ignoring it.
That is something Article V could fix and, indeed, is part of an amendment I've been thinking about that would fix our debt-problem:
Fiscal Responsibility Amendment |
---|
Section I The power of Congress to regulate the value of money is hereby rescinded; the unit of money of the United States is the Dollar. Section II The value of the Dollar shall be one fifteen-hundredth avoirdupois ounce of gold of which impurities do not exceed one part per thousand. Section III To guard against Congress using its authority over weights and measures to bypass Section I, the ounce in Section II is approximately 28.3495 grams (SI). Section IV The Secretary of the Treasury shall annually report the gold physically in its possession; this report shall be publicly available. Any five states may commission a third party audit to confirm this report at their own expense. Section V The power of the Congress to assume debt is hereby restricted: the congress shall assume no debt that shall cause the total obligations of the United States to exceed one hundred ten percent of the amount last reported by the Secretary of the Treasury. Section VI Any government agent, officer, judge, justice, employee, representative, or congressman causing gold, money, or real estate to be confiscated from a citizen shall be tried for theft and upon conviction shall: a. be removed from office (and fired, if an employee), b. forfeit all pension and retirement benefits, c. pay all legal costs, and d. restore to the bereaved twice the amount in controversy. Section VII The federal government shall assume no obligation lacking funding, neither shall it lay such obligation on any of the several States, any subdivision thereof, or any place under the jurisdiction of the United States. All unfunded liabilities heretofore assumed by the United States are void. Section VIII The federal government shall make all payments to its employees or the several states in physical gold. Misappropriation, malfeasance and/or misfeasance of funds shall be considered confiscation and theft. |

I don't know about that; Congress isn't exempt from Treason charges — given the amount of open-borders guys in government all it would take to totally screw them over would be for a governor to declare a state of invasion, put their National Guard on the border with lethal-force authorization, and demand that the federal government assist as per Art 4, Sec 4.
