It's a shame that the FBI does not have to answer to the President or his cabinet.
For example, if the FBI reported to, say, John Ashcroft and his Justice Department, this sort of investigation would NEVER have been started or publicized the way it has, in such a crass and obvious manner, during an election week.
A guy like Ashcroft would NEVER let this happen if he was in charge of the FBI, and if some rogue agent thought that he could initiate something like this on his own, with no direction and no heads-up to the top of the chain-of-command, he would pay with his career.
You're joking right?
Ashcroft = Attorney General
Head of Department of Justice
FBI a division of the Department of Justice
and yes the FBI is full of leftist. They were stacked in there like firewood, same at CIA, during the 8 years of the Billary administration.
