Take it up with Newt. Hes the one who said that the FBI, which reports to the DOJ, is This group of bureaucrats (that) reports to no one in elected authority." Of course hed like you to believe that so you would give political hacks like him police powers.
You didn't answer the question.
The the DOJ is acting like it doesn't answer to the Chief Executive.
You are fine with that?
You are fine with that?
No, they clearly have to answer to POTUS. OTOH, Newts assertion that they dont report to an elected official is just wrong. As he well knows.
Its an unprecedented situation as far as I can tell, and we dont really know much yet, like who the FBI may have notified, but ultimately its up to POTUS to decide whats in the national interest even if everyone else in the government disagrees.
