Maybe some Freeper can answer this question:
Can an FBI Agent or Field office open an investigation on their own if they become aware of possible federal crime or do they have to pass it up to some DOJ attorney? Seem to me they should be able too much like a local cop would do.
Case in point, we just heard that they were seeking FISA warrants based upon information they planted in the press via leaks.
If the answer is yes, then all this BS we hear that the rank and file aren’t involved in this silent coup and are embarrassed by their masters is a pantload of horse shit.
If the answer is no, then someone named President Donald Trump needs to fire every swinging dick attorney in the DOJ.
The Carter Page FISA warrant was malpractice. There are whistleblowers that have been pointing out the malpractice. There's NSA whistleblower Dennis Montgomery but he's a bit of a hack himself. It's not an easy prpblem to fix.
If the answer is no, then someone named President Donald Trump needs to fire every swinging dick attorney in the DOJ.
Trump cannot fire a department, not just because they all get due process, but the department as a whole was created by Congress and the President cannot defacto disband it.
